In my early life, after some years of office preparation, my father made me a partner in his business, where I had all the advantages of his mature experience and wise counsel, besides which his love and tenderness made the partnership one of perfect trust and confidence, the father ofttimes seeming to be an elder brother to me as well.
This earthly parent and partner passed away many years ago, and I was bereft of the wisdom and counsel which had so often guided me.
In later years the subject of Christian Science was presented to me, and after months of hesitation and indifference, the zeal of a dear friend prompted the beginning of a study on my part, which I now feel will never cease.
