Sight Restored

Minnie B. Hall Perry

My mother eighteen years ago was stricken instantly blind. After consulting one oculist after another of noted ability, in different parts of the United States, we decided to give Christian Science a trial. It was not yet known in our city,—Denver, Col.,—and we went to Chicago where a small band of devoted Scientists were at work. We selected a practitioner and began the treatment. My mother was not only blind but lame as well; she had not used her foot for fourteen months and had been blind eighteen months. The doctors had advised amputation of the foot, but we would not consent to it. We remained four months in Chicago devoting our time to the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and having daily treatment for the afflicted one.

At the end of three months, we were rewarded by "the light coming into the eyes," as she expressed it; and at the end of the fourth month, she was healed of blindness and lameness and had taken the first course in Christian Science under an authorized teacher.

After that time she devoted her life to the cause of Christian Science. The words of the Scripture, "Whereas I was blind, now I see," have been proven true in the physical as well as in the spiritual sense.
