It is a little over four years since I said to myself one day, "I believe I will look into this Christian Science I hear of, and see what it is. I don't want to talk to any one about it, but I will try to get hold of some of their books and study it for myself." Then as I walked along the street I repeated, "Christian Science! Why, that must mean the science of Christianity. Surely there could be no objection to finding out what that is."
Up to that time my only impression of Christian Science was formed from a friend, a minister's wife, telling me in terms of consternation that one of their parishioners had gone to Christian Science. From this impression I concluded it was something awful to do.
The next declaration I made was, "But I will not leave my church. If there is any good in Christian Science, I will take it into the church, and do good with it there."
