[Original testimony in German]

About thirteen years ago I heard...

From the November 1940 issue of The Christian Science Journal


About thirteen years ago I heard for the first time of Christian Science, but I was young and lacking in spiritual discernment, and I soon forgot about it.

About five years ago our home was very discordant. Stomach-ache and headache were frequent, and the inharmony grew day by day. So I left my home, and went to another city to get a position there. I thought that things would be better with me through the change, but in this I greatly deceived myself, for things got darker than ever for me.

One Wednesday, I read in the paper a notice saying that a Christian Science testimony meeting would be held that evening. All at once I remembered a remark of the person who had previously mentioned Christian Science to me. There was a church very near, so I went to it, but I doubted that I could be helped. After the meeting I went home, still doubting. However, the friendly words of the Reader, "All sincere seekers for Truth are cordially welcome to attend our services and visit our Reading Room," made a deep impression upon me. I therefore went the following evening to the Reading Room and there, for the first time in my life, I found a resting place, and above all else, Truth. Since I was alone, I went every day to the Reading Room and attended the Christian Science services.
