In the fall of 1893, I returned from the World's Fair in Chicago with the old sense of weariness that I knew so wall, and I felt sure that something must be done very soon, if I were to have sufficient strength to go through the school year, which began very soon. My work was that of primary teacher in a public school.
I had heard something of Christian Science, but gave it no special thought until now. Medicines and tonics that used to help me, failed at this time, and I was thinking quite seriously when a friend called, and said, on leaving, "When you are ready to know more about Christian Science, call." Well, I was ready very soon, for I called the next day, and saw enough to know it was of God, and founded upon Scriptural teachings.
I soon purchased a copy of Science and Health and the Quarterly, and began an earnest study of the subject.
