To me there is no more important reading matter in the whole world than the testimonies given in our periodicals, which tell of Christian Science healing and regeneration. For many years I have read them the very first thing upon receiving the periodicals. Our testimonies are proofs that Science heals, and Mrs. Eddy placed great importance on the giving of them.
I began early to ponder the meaning of life, and as I grew to maturity I investigated world religions and philosophies. Years of devotion to an orthodox teaching had not answered my questions or satisfied my heart's longing for peace.
I was introduced to Christian Science through reading some Christian Science Sentinels which had been left in a cottage in which we lived in California. I was not greatly impressed and not really conscious that I was putting away in thought some of the truths I read. Years later, when the so-called depression of the late twenties came, my husband in desperation turned to Christian Science and was greatly comforted. I attended services in a Church of Christ, Scientist, with him, and I read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy constantly. At the end of a year I knew that I had found what I had been so long looking for—the pearl of great price, the Comforter.
