My attention was first called to Christian Science about the year 1887, through the healing of my father of asthma, he having left his home in Lynn, Mass., in 1857, hoping to find in the climate of Minnesota the health which he had failed to find in Massachusetts. He did not, however, find health until he learned that he lived "In atmosphere of love divine." He is now in his eighty-third year, and is still finding, in this atmosphere, freedom from the ills to which the flesh is heir. About two years later, believing that God was both willing and able to heal me, I turned to Him for help. I knew nothing whatever of Christian Science except that it was a religion which heals, and, besides my father, I knew but one Christian Scientist. I went to her for treatment, and in three days I had received so much benefit, both physically and spiritually, I knew that hereafter Christian Science must be my religion and my physician. I purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and began at once to study it.

Acting upon the recommendation of the practitioner, I received class instruction and became a member of the first Christian Science church organized in this city. I soon realized that it would be necessary to prove by works the sincerity of my gratitude to God and also to our beloved Leader. I seem to reap at the present time so much more of love and kindness than I sow, that I stand in awe when I think what the harvest will be when I am able, through the assimilation of the truth of Christian Science, to reflect more perfectly our Father-Mother, God.
