I turned to Christian Science for answers to the many questions about life and God which had bothered me very much even when I was a child. My desire to learn more of God and life and truth led to much self-examination and investigation into many different creeds. I longed for Jesus to be here so that I might touch the hem of his garment.
It was at this time that God led me to Christian Science, and I found it to be the whole garment, without seam or rent. All my confusion and fears were completely destroyed by its teachings. Mrs. Eddy says in "Unity of Good" (p. 56), "The chaos of mortal mind is made the stepping-stone to the cosmos of immortal Mind." This is certainly what happened in my experience.
I visited a Christian Science practitioner for the first time on New Year's Day, 1951, and that was significant of not only a new year for me but the beginning of a completely new life. One of the truths that impressed me deeply was that man is made in the image and likeness of God, as stated in the first chapter of Genesis, and I realized that through all my previous religious training this had never been pointed out to me. Only the false account in the second chapter of Genesis, which states that man was made from dust, had been impressed upon me.
