Christian Science was introduced to my mother at a time when she had been in ill health for some years. A woman who was a Christian Scientist had begun renting a room in our house. She shared some excerpts from the Bible and from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy with my mother from time to time. Upon seeing Mother's interest, she loaned her Science and Health. Thus began our study of Christian Science.
Mother drank in the truths contained in Science and Health and was healed through reading the book. Our home was transformed from a place of inharmony and unhappiness to a joyful, loving atmosphere. For the rest of her long life Mother remained a faithful student of Christian Science and actively relied on God to meet all her needs.
At the time of my marriage my husband was not interested in Christian Science, but he was most supportive of my desire to rely on Science. Some years later he was healed of smoking, became an active student of Science, and spent many years in dedicated service to the Church.
