I desire to express through the Sentinel, the deep gratitude I feel for the healing of my eyes through Christian Science.

For years I have suffered almost constantly with severe pain in my eyes, and for nearly a year I was unable to use them to any extent for close work. I received treatment from three of the best oculists in my own city, one in a near by city, and a noted one in New York, but none of them seemed to understand my case sufficiently to relieve the pain that always accompanied the use of my eyes.

After being in Christian Science a few months, I sought help from a practitioner. After several treatments, my eyes appeared for a time to be worse. I suffered with severe pain and headache, and physical discord in other ways seemed to claim me. Knowing comparatively little of Science, I could not understand why there should suddenly appear so much that was inharmonious, and fearing I was listening to error's voice, and losing ground,—almost in desperation,—I took my Science and Health and turned to the chapter "Atonement and Eucharist," page 22, and I was guided to these words: " 'Work out your own salvation,' is the demand of Life and Love; for to this end God worketh with you. 'Occupy till I come!' Wait for your reward, and 'be not weary in well-doing.' If your endeavors are beset by fearful odds, and you receive no present reward, go not back to error, nor become a sluggard in the race."
