From childhood I always searched for God and tried to understand Him and what men call "miracles." I read a great deal and tested everything I studied (naturism, homeopathy, occultism, various mind cures, etc.) on myself, on my family, and on friends. But whatever the method employed, I always mentally returned to God as a loving Father, asking Him to help me. Putting complete confidence in divine Love for guidance, I gave up all these methods one by one, realizing that they were sidetracks which led to nothing. I was led to study the Bible and to understand in part the Christ, Truth, and its manifestation down through the ages. I knew that Jesus was a Master to listen to and follow.
My family and I relied upon God to resolve all our problems. Through my leaning on the power of Christ, the habit of drinking wine and all alcoholic beverages left me, and then the smoking habit.
I gathered together some friends who began to take part in my studies. Then this question was presented: "How could man, created in the image and likeness of God, expressing intelligence and divine wisdom, have fallen from this state? At what time did he no longer express infinite intelligence and wisdom?" None of my reading revealed the answer. Through prayer I gained the conviction I could share with my friends that our Father, God, would guide us and that one day we would discover the Science of sciences to enlighten us completely. I said to them in substance: "A teaching exists which will answer all our questions; one day we will discover it."
