I did not learn of Christian Science until I was a young woman expecting my first baby. I was staying with my mother for a week. A woman who was helping her with the housecleaning fell from the stepladder and injured her leg. My mother, a practical nurse, was concerned about the accident and wanted to help her; but the woman said she would be all right and went to her room. The next morning she was perfectly well with no sign of injury. This made such an impression on Mother that she wanted to know what had taken place. The woman explained that Christian Science had healed her, and she gave Mother some literature.

My mother bought a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and studied it, and after a time she joined The Mother Church and a branch church. She was able to discard glasses she had worn over twenty years, as her eyes had been suddenly healed. She was also healed of a stomach ailment, for which doctors had recommended an operation, and she lived for many years.

Much later, I became interested in this Science, after Mother had told my husband about it. We both joined The Mother Church. After my husband's passing, I was left to care for our daughter and six-year-old son. It was at the time of economic depression of the thirties, when both work and money were considered scarce. However, through our understanding of divine Love's provision for all its ideas, our needs were always met.
