Over and over again these words of Jesus come to me, "Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free," and it does indeed make free. We first heard of Christian Science shortly after I had been confirmed in the Episcopal Church. My mother took class instruction, and to me it seemed one of the most dreadful things that had ever befallen me. We had always been of the same opinion in everything, and for her to go through a class in Christian Science seemed most terrible. I remember how I begged, pleaded, and besought her not to leave the faith in which she had reared me; but she only smiled and asked me what I had against the Science. I could not tell, only I did not believe in it. Finally I thought the best thing I could do was to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," so I could tell her wherein she was wrong. As I read this book, I remember I brought up one thing after another against it, but in a little while all my arguments disappeared. It was not, however, until about a year that all my doubts were overcome and I was ready to accept the Truth, and in June, 1899, I became a member of the Mother Church.
We have no church building here, but hold our meetings at the home of a Scientist. There are only five of us, not counting the children, three in number, who attend our meetings. We have our Sunday morning service from the Quarterly and our Wednesday evening meetings, and although we are few in number we are happy in the knowledge that "One with God is a majority." There is not enough wealth in the whole world to buy the knowledge I have of Christian Science, for it gives me that joy, comfort, and peace which the world can neither give nor take from me.— Albion, Ind.
