On October 5, 1901, I became blind quite suddenly, at the noon hour, just as my daughter and myself were going into our dining room. I was carrying something in my hands and before I reached the table, I said to my daughter, "There is something black before my eyes, please take it away." She declared that there was nothing before my face. Everything seemed to be black before my left eye, but with my right eye, I could still see the objects as if in a dense fog. I was greatly distressed, but trusted that light would come back to me as quickly as the darkness had come.

The next day we drove to an oculist, who examined my eyes thoroughly, and when I asked him if I would regain my sight, he said, "Let us hope so." I was under this professor's medical treatment for three weeks without success, then I told my daughter that I would not go back to him, because the pain which his experiments caused my eyes and temples had become unendurable. My daughter was frightened, for she believed that now all hope of recovery was abandoned. In her anxiety, she went to a friend of ours and told her of our trouble. This lady advised us to take Christian Science treatment, which she said would help me.

My daughter brought me this glad news, and I must say that I went to the practitioner with perfect faith and confidence. I felt sure I would be directed to God to be healed by Him.
