For the first time since I have known Christian Science, there comes to me now a strong prompting to write my experience. It may not seem a wonderful one to others, but to me it is marvelous. I have proved God's words, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee," for I can see how He has been drawing me to this understanding and revelation of Himself, from the time of my earliest consciousness.
As a little child, I used to pray with all my heart that God would not let me die until I had learned how to be good. Even then was felt the desire for a Principle to live by, and, from that time, there began, in a vague way, the search for it, and the purpose to go to college, with the thought that there I might find out all I longed to know.
During the last year at college, this thought seemed to be finding its satisfaction, when the study of metaphysics (so-called) seemed to open up a new world of thought. It was inspiring and uplifting, beautiful to think about and aspire to, but I could not live it, it came in word but not in power.
