I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing. The economic depression of the thirties had hit my father's business very badly. Suddenly we were about to lose our home. A friend told me about Christian Science and how it would help us. I scoffed at this and for many weeks resisted her kind request to attend a Wednesday evening testimony meeting. One Wednesday I seemed impelled to go. I heard many wonderful testimonies and decided to look into this religion.
A man in my office gave me the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I read and read until the wee hours of the morning, finding answers to questions and gaining a conviction I had been seeking all my life.
We lost our house, but God provided another one which was ample for a large growing family. Some years later we were able to buy this house. Step by step our needs were beautifully met. God had indeed restored "the years that the locust [had] eaten" (Joel 2:25).
