I First learned of Christian Science in 1929

Mindell Fern Cox

I First learned of Christian Science in 1929. I was appearing with a large roadshow in Detroit, Michigan. There were thirty-two dancers in the show. I was one of them. The dressing rooms were downstairs in the theater building. I had changed for our next number and was sitting on a bench when I noticed a box marked "free literature." I went over to it and picked out a copy of The Christian Science Journal, sat down, and started to read.

The more I read, the more I thought, "This is just what I've been hungering for." I was so interested in what I was reading that I forgot all about the performance—until after it was over and I heard the dancers running downstairs to change! The manager reprimanded me severely. But it didn't really matter to me. I was so happy because I knew I'd found in Christian Science the food to feed my spiritual hunger.

The following summer I worked in Indianapolis. I became acquainted with one of the performers, who was a Christian Scientist. She took me to my first Christian Science church service. The Monday we went to a Reading Room and I purchased a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. (I always carried a Bible in my travel trunk.) After studying the weekly Bible Lessons, outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly, I was soon healed of continual cold symptoms that I'd experienced since childhood.
