When a young girl, I was allowed...

From the January 1938 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When a young girl, I was allowed to go to any church or Sunday school I cared to. Usually I attended where my friends went, and I visited quite a number before I started going to the Christian Science services. There I was so completely satisfied that my interest and study have continued for thirty years.

At first there was no Sunday school for me. Children were only accepted up to twelve years of age. But soon the age limit was raised to twenty years, and I went the very first Sunday and from then on until I was twenty. For this experience I am very grateful. It gave me a wonderful foundation in the study of Christian Science. It has also helped me through the years during which I have taught in Sunday school myself.

I have always loved the Bible, and the study of Christian Science has made it dearer all the time. How many times a verse from the Bible, a passage from our textbook, or a line from a loved hymn has proved an angel, healing, saving, comforting! I am happy to be able to share this blessing with my family. My husband and four children are making greater use of it all the time. We are all members of The Mother Church; the children joined when they were twelve years of age, and have been richly blessed thereby.
