Hermann S. Hering, who has been chosen First Reader of the Mother Church, is the youngest son of the late Dr. Constantine Hering of Philadelphia, the founder of Homæopathy in this country.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Hering took special courses in London, and became Professor of mechanics and electrical engineering in the Philadelphia Manual Training School. He held that position five years, and then was Associate in electrical engineering at Johns Hopkins University for eight years.
He became interested in Christian Science about eight years ago, and in 1899 gave up his profession and since then has devoted himself entirely to Christian Science work. He was Second Reader of the Second Church in Baltimore for five years.
