I found Christian Science when I was a young widow with three children. I had a painful condition of gout. A relative asked if I believed God could help me, and I said yes. We then visited a Christian Science practitioner. She was filled with love, and there was a harmony I had never known. She talked to us about God's love. I believed in God, because I had been able to go through many difficult hours when I felt His nearness. But I did not know that God is Spirit.

The practitioner gave us a copy of The Herald of Christian Science, German Edition, and the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Although I did not then understand the textbook, the Herald was a great light to me, and I enjoyed reading it. After three weeks I was permanently healed of the gout. This was a great proof to me of God's love and healing care.

I remarried, and several years later, after we had moved to another town, my husband and I regularly attended services in a Christian Science Society. We became active members.
