Offered are two items received on the Second Membership Anniversary for Members of the I.A.H. Circle ["I Am His"] founded by David C. Cook out of Chicago, Illinois: 1) Volume 3 of "The Charmed Life" (1896), a small magazine with illustrated covers measuring 4-5/8" by 5-7/8" and containing 52 pages including front and rear covers; and 2) the second anniversary Birthday Greeting dated 1897, mailed with the issue of The Charmed Life, a small booklet measuring 4-1/8" by 5-1/8" and containing 8 pages. The booklet begins, "Dear Friend: Again I would bring you a glad and happy birthday greeting. May the coming year be a joyous one, full of happy surprises. I am sure it will be such if you spend its moments with Him whom you love. I am glad of this opportunity to talk with you again, and give a few words to help you during the year." Volume 3 of "The Charmed Life" contains 31 full-page readings (each with a topic, such as Love's Loss; Love's Pleasures; Love's Afflictions; Love's Humility; Love's War; Love's Self-Sacrifice; Love's Bonds; Love's Dangers) along with "Directions for Wearing the I.A.H. Ring"; music with lyrics; and I.A.H. products for sale; the membership number written in pen to the rear cover is 162608, and the member, as instructed, wrote the date to the inside front cover ("I.A.H. BIRTHDAY REMEMBRANCE - I placed the I.A.H. Ring on my finger for the first time - Date [April 1, as written], 189[8, as written]"). To remain in the I.A.H. Circle, and to receive Volume Four of "The Charmed Circle" and the third anniversary Birthday Letter, the member (Daisy D. Horst, who has written her name in fountain pen to the upper edge area of the front cover) has dutifully clipped out and returned the form on the first page (with blank verso). David C. Cook (1850-1927), a leader in the American Sunday school movement, founded his publishing company in Chicago, Illinois, in 1875 to provide affordable educational materials for children left homeless in the Great Chicago Fire (which occurred from October 8-10, 1871).
