I was raised in the Baptist faith, became a member of that church at the age of fifteen years, and was baptized, lived a member until I was married and left my parents and also left that church.
Then I became a member of the Methodist Church, then the United Brethren. I must say for these churches that although I loved them all, I found very little difference in their religion; all doing, in my opinion, the best they understood.
But in all that search I had not found what my heart was longing for. I next investigated Spiritualism, searched that to the bottom and found nothing in it, only meeting again with disappointments, and with a sad heart I turned away waiting to be set free by death. With all this searching I was yet an invalid, still searching for God but not knowing where to find Him.
