I feel that I must not wait any longer to acknowledge some of the benefits we have received from Christian Science. It is seven years since I first began to study its literature, and although my husband, myself, and children needed the physical help, I sought it more eagerly in hopes of finding spiritual help. It was not long before we found that it supplies both of these needs. The doctor, who had been a frequent visitor at our home, has not once been in attendance since, and medicine is now unknown there. I had worn glasses for some years, and shortly before hearing of Christian Science I had gone to a specialist about my sight. He said I required very much stronger glasses, but I had been at so much trouble and expense trying to get suited before, that I concluded to do the best I could with the old ones. After reading Science and Health I put off my glasses, and could read large print. After some time I had treatment from a practitioner and my sight soon began to improve. As time went on, I was enabled to read fine print by lamplight.

My husband's hearing troubled him very much on account of his having had the grip so frequently, and his use of quinine. It produced confusing sounds in his head. He has not complained once since the first treatment he had in Science, which is fully six years ago. Although he and others of the family are not reconciled to Christian Science teaching, yet they enjoy its benefits. Two of our children and I joined the Christian Science Church here, and I am also a member of The Mother Church. The Bible was never read in our home so much as it has been the last years.

Sometimes when thinking over our blessings I am reminded of those beautiful words by our dear Leader, in Science and Health, "For victory over a single sin we give thanks, and magnify the Lord of Hosts. Then what shall we say of the mighty conquest over all sin?" (Science and Health, p. 568).—E. Kramer, Owen Sound, Ont.
