It is with humble gratitude that I write this testimony, hoping that it will help others as testimonies have helped me. Our family has experienced so many outstanding blessings through the study and application of Christian Science that space will not permit me to relate them all. I should like to tell of our introduction to Science.
During World War II, when apartments were hard to find, my wife, our first baby, and I lived in two housekeeping rooms in Chicago, Illinois. We had been seeking a furnished apartment for several months without success. Early on Sunday mornings my wife and I would get the local newspaper as soon as it was on sale so that we could be the first to see any advertisements of apartments for rent.
One day a student of Christian Science, who was a close friend of my parents, came to visit us. Hearing of our plight, he said: "You know, children, the Bible says, 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matt. 6:33). Why don't you first go to church on Sunday mornings and then look for an apartment?" Later he invited us to come to the Christian Science church and said that his church had a nursery where our baby would be cared for.
