I would like to tell how I was led to Christian Science when I was in my early teens. Our family had recently moved to a small town, and on the first Sunday morning after our move my mother told my sister and me to go out and find a Sunday School. As we started out, a woman passed us carrying two books which we thought were two Bibles. I said to my sister: "She must be very good to have two Bibles. Let's follow her." We did so, and she led us to the Christian Science Sunday School. Later we learned that the two books this woman carried were not two Bibles, but rather the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
My sister and I attended this Sunday School for several months, and during this time I was healed of chronic sore throat, which had appeared every winter. In addition, I was healed of tonsillitis, and the tonsils have given no trouble since then. This healing came through what I learned by attending Sunday School and my study of the Bible. At that time I did not have a copy of the textbook. Later I purchased a copy, and I began to study in earnest.
I want to express my gratitude for the many gems of thought we find in the Bible, particularly for one that helped me when I had been asked to move from the house I had rented because the owner wished to sell it. He gave me ninety days to find another place. At that time houses were difficult to find, and I spent many days trying to locate something desirable. Then I found the verse in the Bible in which Jesus said to his followers (John 14:2), "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you."
