I will never cease to be grateful for the tremendous spiritual breakthrough that came to the world when the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled in the birth of Christ Jesus (Isa. 7:14): "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

I was born with limited intelligence, and my grammar school days were a terrible nightmare. I seldom passed an examination. I failed to pass several grades and had to repeat them, so I was seventeen when I started high school. Unable to grasp the teachings, I dropped out of school two months later.

When I was twenty-one, an aunt came to our home and said to me, "Jack, you are God's idea." Later that evening my aunt and a sister took me to a local Christian Science Reading Room. I borrowed the King James Version of the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Every night till past midnight I read Science and Health. I finished it in two weeks and found that I had been healed of smoking and a desire for wine.
