Christian Science is the only religion and physician I have ever known. After physicians had given her but a few weeks to live, my mother was healed of consumption through reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Subsequently she spent a long and useful life in the study and practice of Christian Science.
As a child I lived where no Sunday school was available. On Sunday mornings my parents read the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly to our family, and we were encouraged to study the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings.
When I entered a business office in Boston, a girl who had just become interested in Christian Science, began to ask me questions. I was chagrined to find that I could not answer many of these questions, in spite of the fact that I had been a Christian Scientist all my life, and I began to study more faithfully. I spent practically every moment outside the office reading and studying. During this period, in an epidemic of influenza, I started to the office one snowy morning feeling very ill, and I sat down in the railroad station and opened "Unity of Good" by Mrs. Eddy. I read three or four pages of the chapter entitled "Is There No Death?" and finally came to these words (p. 42): "Man, in Science, is as perfect and immortal now, as when 'the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.'"
