Hanover (Germany), December 1,1897.
Dear Journal:— Last June I returned from America, where I had gone the preceding November in order to enter the class of a teacher and representative of the glorious teaching of our beloved Mother. After having finished the course, I went to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I had friends, and where I received not only the most hearty welcome from the Scientists there, but also, through their kindness, was given an opportunity to put into practice what I had so ardently striven to learn and understand.
I am exceedingly happy to be able to state that to-day, after hardly half a year's pioneer work in my native country, the reception which Christian Science has found here has by far exceeded my expectations, and I want to tell it to all my beloved co-workers in Truth on the other side of the ocean, in the blessed motherland of this wonderful Science. The German people are very conservative and very sceptical in regard to new ideas, and especially so here in the northern part of the country.
