For a number of years I have been a teacher in our public schools, but because of a nervous trouble and with the doctor's advice, I gave up my work for a while to relieve my nerves of the mental strain.
A copy of Science and Health by Mary Baker G. Eddy was shown me by one who was interested in Christian Science. I determined to purchase it and investigate the subject. I gave five dollars for it, a second-hand copy, but I have never regretted my bargain.
The following I copy from my note book dated February 21, 1901, at Kansas City, Mo.: "At 3.30 p.m., February 20, 1901, I went up to the Christian Science Reading Rooms, New York Life Building, to ask for a Christian Science treatment, something I have never done before because of poverty and also I thought, understanding as much as I do of Science, I ought to be able to demonstrate for myself."
