When Christian Science came to me I...

From the December 1960 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When Christian Science came to me I was suffering from recurrence of a tubercular condition, for which I had spent almost three years in a sanatorium several years earlier. At the time of this recurrence I was a very unhappy person, and I felt my mental disturbances had caused the return of the trouble.

I was confined to my bed for several months, and during this time I read the Bible, searching for comfort. A neighbor who was a Christian Scientist came to visit me, and when she saw my Bible on the bed beside me, she knew I was looking for the truth; so she talked to me of the teachings of Christian Science. I was immediately receptive, thinking it was very logical to expect the healing to come through Mind; because even before I had heard anything of Christian Science, I believed the cause to be mental rather than physical.

I borrowed my neighbor's copy of the Christian Science textbook until she could purchase one for me the following week. I read day and night, and although I now realize I did not understand all I read, I accepted it as true.
