A Purchasing Agent's Views

Denver Republican

There are probably a great many residents of your State who are subscribers to The Denver Republican who will recall me as a former resident of your city. If these people had opportunity for the same daily intercourse with me that occurred in the period referred to, I think some of them would ask, What has happened to Hubbell? The question is an easy one.

In May, 1895, through the healing of my daughter's eyes of astigmatism of the eyesight by the teachings of Christian Science, I was led to read a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker G. Eddy, and by reading this book for the purpose of determining as to whether or not it was a fit book for a Christian girl to read and study, the scales fell from my eyes, and I have been from that day to this as conscientious a student of the teachings of Christian Science as is possible for me to be, and with the increased understanding as to the teachings of our Saviour there has come to me a more complete happiness and peacefulness than I ever dreamed I could possess.

In May, 1895, I was asked by parties having extensive and varied interests to accept the position of purchasing agent for all their interests, which represent some thirty-three distinct corporations, among which are railroad lines aggregating nearly fifteen hundred miles. In this work I am called upon to make the purchase of all kinds and classes of materials and supplies needed by these several companies. When I first began the work I had not had as much understanding of the teachings of Christian Science as is possessed at the present period, and therefore my work irritated me to a greater or less extent, and when called upon to meet experiences that had not been previously gone over there was always a feeling of distrust and uncertainty as to whether or not the work could be successfully accomplished.
