It was in Switzerland that I first heard of Christian Science, this applicable, healing religion that is so helpful in having a full, rich life. A skin disease of many years' standing was immediately healed when I first studied the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. On page 152 we read, "Truth has a healing effect, even when not fully understood."
Also, through a correct attitude of thought, I was able to help my son stationed at the battlefront. My days were filled with the goodness of God and acknowledgment of His constant presence with me and my son.
In 1945, following the disorders of the war, I found in a copy of The Herald of Christian Science (German Edition) the address of a Christian Science Reading Room in a city in southern Germany. The meeting with the librarian on duty there was wonderfully inspiring to me. I was healed of broken ribs when I rejected the temptation to use material remedies. As if through a miracle, every door opened to help me. Later I married again. With workmen in the home much of the time, and a business household, there seemed to be no time left for me to study daily the Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly. In this way error found a home in my thought. I had severe pains from what appeared to be appendicitis. I knew that walking quietly with God and uniting my thought with Him could help me.
