PIERRE R. CHATELAIN-FLORANGE

I'm prompted to share what Christian Science has caused me to understand, and how I learned of it. This goes back many years, to a time after the Second World War. I had received a rather shaky education, but I wanted to succeed fully and rapidly. So I emigrated abroad and, after many setbacks (the details of which I will spare you), I succeeded in establishing myself in business, bought a house, and owned a great deal, materially speaking. In fact, I was what some might call a "brilliant success."

I did not know of Christian Science at that time. But I did believe in God.

Many years later a dear one passed on suddenly; and for reasons outside my control, I lost my position and my funds. I was financially ruined and had to leave the country. Life really seemed black for me, my wife, and our son. I was enveloped in fear, dread, hatred, depression, and I lacked the courage to go back and build my life again, now that twenty years had gone by. Everything seemed to fall apart on me. I even thought of suicide.
