For ten years prior to turning to Christian Science I had suffered from severe nervous trouble, including three or four complete breakdowns, and found myself at last facing a blank wall of inability to keep up any longer with the duties of which no one could relieve me. I called on my physician, a conscientious and conservative man, and was told by him that it would be two years before I would be well, and that I must always keep within certain limits as to strength. After this discouraging verdict I turned to Christian Science for treatment, and in six weeks I was well! This was nearly three years ago, and there has been no return of the old troubles, although at times I have had to meet excessive demands upon my strength.

Before taking up the study of Christian Science I was so near-sighted that when, as occasionally happened on the street, I dropped my glasses, some passer-by was appealed to in order to find them. Two years ago I was able to lay aside glasses, and since that time my sight has steadily improved, until now the vision is for all practical purposes normal. I have had many other proofs of the power of Christian Science to heal, among them the healing of my little daughter of deafness caused by catarrhal trouble. I have also seen Christian Science applied successfully to business problems, have seen it meet emergencies most wonderfully, and I find it an unfailing guide in solving the problems of each day.

I desire to express my deep gratitude to God, and to our dear Leader, for having been so lovingly and patiently helped. Reviewing the many blessings which have come to me through Christian Science, and looking forward to the future, so rich in promise, I realize that the priceless gift which this wonderful truth has brought me is a greater desire for good, a stronger grasp on good, and the broader and more unselfish view of life which has inevitably followed.—Elizabeth B.
