In 1929 I was confused as to where to send our three young children to church or Sunday School. My husband and I were of two opposite faiths. This divided thinking, I felt sure, was a house divided against itself and would not stand. The church to which my mother had sent me became offensive to my reasoning. My husband agreed that his church had nothing for us. I prayed constantly to be led to do what was right, for I knew it was important to bring up the children in a religion which they would love and through which they could serve God.
During this anxious time a dear friend was healed in Christian Science of tuberculosis, after he had suffered for many years in spite of the best medical care. His wife, knowing of my extremity, invited me to a Christian Science lecture. My husband and I attended, and we were both impressed. To me it was the first holy hour I had ever experienced. I felt that I was alone in the auditorium and that the words from the lecture platform were being directed to me. I did not hear another sound. This lecture was our awakening to the truth as taught in Christian Science, the truth about a perfect God, a perfect man, and a perfect universe. We knew that it was answered prayer. This then was the religion we were seeking for our family, a religion that we could follow and bring into the lives of our children, and we had no doubt that they would love it. W e all began to attend the services the very next Sunday.
In all these years we have been blessed beyond expression. Christian Science has solved all our ills, both mental and physical. We held on unflinchingly, with Love alone as our guide to harmony. The definition of "Church" on page 583 of the textbook, Science and Health by our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, was utilized as a foundation for right reasoning in all our activities in the home, church, school, and business.
