When I was very young, my grandmother talked with me of the Bible and of God. I think she only did this once; however, it left an indelible impression of God's love and constant care for me. As a teen-ager I joined my mother's church. Shortly after, I became ill, and it was believed I had inherited an incurrable disease. This made me very sad, for I did not want to quit school and die.

After about two years of this condition, I heard of Christian Science for the first time, from a man and his wife who told me of this Christ-healing method. The next day being Sunday, I was with them in church, where I was loaned a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I was also kindly given some Sentinels.

In Science and Health I read: "Heredity is not a law" (p. 178) and "Truth is always the victor" (p. 380). I read also of the constant love of God, the all-powerful One. My health improved somewhat, but to my surprise I was not allowed to buy the book, and my Sentinels promptly disappeared.
