From the August 1960 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In August, 1933, Christian Science was presented to me, and through its influence the course of my life was changed. At that time my home had been broken up. I was feeling the loss of companionship to such an extent that I was in great mental darkness and despair. A sister who had been studying Christian Science came to me in response to my call for help. I asked her if she thought Christian Science could help me. She smiled and said she was just hoping I would want to know about it. Since that time this truth has met all my needs, physically, financially, and spiritually.

Upon leaving, my sister gave me a copy of the Journal and told me where to find in it the names of practitioners who resided in the vicinity in order that I might call one should I need help. When fear began to take possession of my thinking, fear of the future and of my responsibility in rearing a child, as well as fear of being physically unable to hold my position, I picked up the Journal and called one of the three practitioners listed, asking her to come to see me. This she did willingly, although I had never seen or heard of her before.

I shall never cease to be grateful for her patience and love in answering my many questions and for her tenderness in guiding my first steps into a new world of thought. Although there was much to learn and unlearn, my eagerness to have an understanding of Christian Science brought rich rewards.
