I wish to acknowledge the many benefits received through Christian Science. One day I went into a dark closet and injured my eye severely by coming against a nail. Finding that I could not see with the eye, and that I was unable to realize the truth clearly for myself. I telephoned a Christian Science practitioner to help me. Within a few hours I could see somewhat, and at the close of the week the vision was clear. I have since become a member of The Mother Church, and understand and appreciate the Bible. Science and Health, and our Leader more and more each day.—Emma Kinney, Hyde Park, Cincinnati, O.

I wish to make known to others the many benefits which my family and myself have received from Christian Science. We lived in Wyoming for a number of years, and in 1899 my wife and three children returned to Ohio for a year, as a doctor had told us that our little girl should be taken to a lower altitude on account of ill health. A doctor in Ohio then said she could not live in that climate, but should be taken to a drier one. My wife then told him that she had just come from a dry climate, and he said he could do nothing for her. At this time Christian Science was mentioned by relatives, and a few treatments convinced my wife she had found what she had always wanted. The little girl was soon in good health, and a few attacks which came on later were overcome through my wife's understanding of Science, and some absent treatment.

A few weeks before their return to Wyoming, our three other children and two children where they were staying were taken with an eruptive fever, but with a few Christian Science treatments by a practitioner in Ohio the disease was soon overcome, not even scars remaining. While my wife was away with the little girl, she sent me a Sentinel and a letter with a few words of the truth in it. I threw away the material remedies which I had been using for several years, and was healed of bowel trouble. I took medicine only once after this, and it was before I had enough understanding to demonstrate the truth. A very severe ailment that often prevented me from working is now a thing of the past. I am a railroad clerk, and have worked twelve hours a day for fifteen years. Before I understood Science, I had begun to give way to exhaustion and failing eyesight. Now, without taking any vacation, and with hard, steady work, my sight has improved, I have gained health and strength, and have more energy and am more hopeful than I was fifteen years ago. I also work evenings at drawing which requires good sight. This I would not have attempted before reading Science and Health. My hearing is also greatly improved and getting better.
