A Personal Experience

By P. L. Hoen

THIRTY-ONE years ago the Lord led my steps one evening to a chapel, or church, at 269 W. Erie St., Chicago, where Elder J. G. Matteson gave his first lecture in the city. I was then an unconverted man. The second chapter of Daniel was the subject for the evening; and I never shall forget that meeting; and

when the Lord opened my eyes and touched my heart as that God-fearing man read of the great image, and pointed to the chart upon the wall, the truth of God became precious to me, and has been all these years.

I helped carry the first number of our good Danish-Norwegian paper to the homes of my countrymen in Chicago, and for the last twenty-seven years I have taken it to hundreds of homes in Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New York City, Brooklyn, and in the States of Maine and Michigan.

The good REVIEW has also been a welcome visitor to me all these years.

P. L. HOEN.
