At the age of three months a fall caused the cartilage of the nose to be pushed across so that it entirely closed one nostril. When it formed into bone, the flow of mucous was obstructed until there was developed a most malignant type of dry catarrh, for which the best specialists in materia medica could afford only temporary relief. They said that the poison was searching its way through the whole system, until every organ was in some degree affected by it. Six years ago the light of Christian Science brought health and strength through the efforts of a practitioner, who has ever since been my helpful friend. Each condition was uncovered and conquered. Glasses which I had worn for seventeen years, for inherited myopia, were discarded, teeth were extracted painlessly; in fact, the truth has met every need as it appeared.

I had cared nothing for religion, and even the name of Christian Science had never come to me until it was mentioned by the one to whom I afterward went for help. Clouds of sorrow, despondency, and pain have been gradually dispelled, until now I stand a living witness to the power of Truth as revealed through our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, in what is to me, the most wonderful book of this age, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

Although the physical healing has given me great cause for rejoicing, it is the spiritual gain for myself and others, the daily unfolding of an understanding of the Christ Principle, which brings a joy words can never express. I would also speak a word of thanks for the class instruction, so lovingly given me, and which enabled me to start with courage upon the strait and narrow way.
