I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me in regard to the healing of what was pronounced by one of the best physicians in Canada to be a case of incurable ear trouble. I was suddenly stricken with deafness, and immediately consulted him, underwent very severe treatment for several months, only to be told, that I would always have to suffer, with every prospect of becoming permanently deaf. As our best friend and physician, he cited the cases of some of my friends who had spent large sums of money on special operations, with anything but satisfactory results, and explained a course of treatment which he advised me to follow. I therefore made up my mind that what could not be cured must be endured, but what I suffered from the fear and dread of taking cold and having it always settle in my ears, is beyond description. It was fully a year after I had commenced the study of Christian Science before the thought came to me that I could apply it to this trouble. I heard a testimony given at one of our meetings of the overcoming of deafness, the result of measles, and I then thought of applying Science. This ear trouble had been of sixteen years' standing, but I was determined to begin at once, and my beginning was to discard the cotton wool, which I had used as a protection from colds and draughts. I then suffered more than I ever had, and the next day was obliged to go to a practitioner for help. On my return from the first treatment I parted with all the appliances and instruments upon which I had depended for the little surcease from suffering I had had. I read and studied earnestly and continually, and whenever the thought of material remedies, such as hot oil, glycerine, etc., presented itself, I would find in the teaching of Science and Health the true antidote for the error. In two months' time I was perfectly healed.

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise," is indeed a reality to me. I wish also to say that my love and appreciation of Mrs. Eddy is too deep for words, in giving thanks for this wonderful truth which she has shared so generously with one and all.

Mrs. Emma L. Hambly, San Jose, Cal.
