Christian Science has given me this proof of its efficacy to record and to be thankful for. In childhood there was a difficulty with one of my ears, a deafness that came and went. In later years I encountered the same error, which seemed so tenacious that great fear came upon me lest I should be deprived of hearing. I went to a physician, who after examining my ear said that there was a condition which was likely to produce permanent deafness. I would not consent to the use of an instrument, but used other means which he prescribed. I was relieved, but in a few weeks the same difficulty reappeared, and once again I resorted to material methods. The next time that the deafness came, there also came a desire to prove Christian Science. Accordingly I asked for treatment from one who has since helped me to see the light in various experiences. During the treatment which followed I had occasional glimpses of unbounded clearness, and again the deafness was so unbearable it was with great battling that the temptation to use material means for relief was overcome. About a week intervened between the first week's treatment and the two which followed. After three weeks' treatment in all, I felt that the work was accomplished. Fear had been defeated and had been banished into nothingness, for my hearing was restored and has continued perfect.

There also appeared a vista of the real Life, and of the spiritual realm in which we are meant to dwell; and although each day discloses new foes to conquer, and I often feel that I have fallen far short of my ideal, still there has been planted in my consciousness a growing understanding of the light that fails not, and of the Principle by the faithful, steadfast application of which I shall be enabled to solve the problems that present themselves.
