She had gone into it for healing and because she was unhappy and unsatisfied; but she wanted the truth and promised to follow only the Bible. Her attention was called to the Scriptures which show the deity of Christ. She was inter-' ested and said Mrs. Eddy did not teach that. On our second call we took a dis- pensational chart and talked to her about God’s plan of the ages. This led to some questions about the devil.
