I had a wonderful, spiritually uplifting experience that was totally unexpected and that brought me into Christian Science. I had been brought up in a church school of another denomination, and I will always be grateful for the Sunday School training and required Bible study I received, for these gave me a firm foundation in Christianity.

Early in my married years and while I was an active member of that church, the ritual of the church services lost all appeal for me. I left the denomination that I had valued since childhood. Along the way I became involved in an offshoot religion for a period of ten years.

One evening a woman whom I had never met but who came to my house after she had been recommended as a baby sitter, put a copy of The Christian Science Journal into my hands. She said, "Perhaps you would like to read this." I thanked her but thought to myself, "I'll never read that." However, a few weeks later I picked up the magazine and began to read. Almost immediately I realized that this was what I had been seeking. There was a significant difference between Christian Science and the religion I had previously embraced. I saw the revolutionary teaching of Christian Science that exposed material sense testimony as unreliable and unreal. I knew that I had found the "pearl of great price." Membership in The Mother Church and a branch church followed in the proper course of time.
