In his early twenties he became interested in the Mental Science teachings of Helen Wilmans, Henry Wood, Charles Brodie Patterson, etc. Little is known about his personal life and what originally led him to take up his intensive study of Mental Science, but its logical teachings clearly suited youngLarson 's analytical mind and provided a point to him where theology and science could meet and combine to provide a practical and systematic philosophy of life.
