It was in June, 1910, that I had the great privilege of being accepted as a member of The Mother Church, and I should like to express my gratitude for all the blessings I have received during the years since then. About that same time I had class instruction. What I learned in those two weeks of instruction, and at the many association meetings that have followed, has brought me endless joy and many healings.

During the First World War, I was called back to Europe from America because my mother needed me urgently. There were difficulties in the way of obtaining a passport and passage; but I steadfastly held to the truth that God, divine Love, governs man harmoniously. Everything worked out well; all obstacles were overcome, and I was able to reach the boat just about one half hour before its departure. In every step I had seen Love's guidance, preparing the way.

During our first night out from Newfoundland a very heavy fog came up. In the early morning hours we ran onto a reef, but all the passengers were safely embarked in lifeboats and brought to shore. Throughout the experience I felt sure of the presence of God, divine Love, and was grateful for His loving care. I was able to help many of the passengers who had lost almost everything. Because the hotels were overcrowded, there seemed to be no place for the many mothers and children to stay for the night. But, guided by Love, I went from house to house to secure shelter for them. The response was wonderful, and by night they all were taken care of.
