When I was approximately twenty years old, I wanted to know more about God. My father couldn't answer all my questions, but he arranged for a teacher of religion to instruct me. This didn't result in my finding the spiritual answers I was seeking. Many years went by, and I was still searching for an understanding of God.
Then one day someone told me about Christian Science and mentioned that there was a branch church near my home. The following day I went to the Christian Science Reading Room. The two people who worked there were very kind. I bought a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.
I was eager to read this book. In the beginning I didn't understand much of it. There were many statements that required deep thought, so I made an earnest study of the book. Before long I became a member of The Mother Church. I was very happy to have a growing spiritual understanding of God at last.
