Jane D. Armour with contributions from Edmund Clarence Stedman

I have waited over seven years to acknowledge through the Sentinel the many benefits I have received since I turned to Christian Science for help, and I am sure that it has not been lack of gratitude. When I first heard of Christian Science I was living in a western town, and an aunt, who is a practitioner, was visiting in our home. I had at this time just returned from Kansas City, Mo., where I had been sent by my parents to have my eyes tested. The oculist informed me that I must wear glasses all of the time for several years. They had annoyed me greatly, and it seemed that I would never become accustomed to wearing them, so I gladly agreed to take them off and accept the treatment my aunt so lovingly offered. I was healed immediately, and did not need to put the glasses on again after the first treatment.

A year later I found it would be necessary to have considerable dental work done, an ordeal which had always caused me much suffering. I was not well at the time, so I took Science and Health and the Bible and read and studied for a month or more. I then kept my appointments with the dentist, day after day for a week, and felt no discomfort. I have had a good deal of dental work done since this time, but I have not dreaded it at all, feeling confident that whatever is necessary can be accomplished without suffering.

Each day we have proofs of God's loving presence and protection in our home, and have never felt any desire for nor faith in the old remedies which we have forsaken. I am so thankful for our Christian Science literature. Many times when I have been struggling with a sense of discord, I have found what I most needed in an article or testimony I one of our priceless periodicals, and it is deeply gratifying to be made acquainted through the Monitor with the important affairs of the day without being startled by accounts of disaster.
