During the nine years that I have been a student of Christian Science each hour has unfolded its blessings and glory. My first experiences of healing came through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I was enabled to lay off glasses which had been worn constantly for twelve years owing to a structural defect of the eyes and a muscular trouble accompanied by chronic neuralgia of the head. A brace had been prescribed by a specialist to relieve a severe condition which was not given a name, but which was said to be difficult to cure, and this brace also was discarded, the healing coming through my study of the text-book.

With the help of a practitioner I have been freed from nervous exhaustion and chronic stomach and intestinal troubles, also from a return of incipient pulmonary tuberculosis, from which I had suffered during my girlhood. These healings have all been permanent. Several of the ailments yielded instantaneously, but others slowly. When I stopped trying to throw off physical diseases, and was "willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord," seeking diligently the Christ-idea, these conditions yielded more rapidly to the healing truth. I rejoice in the overcoming of a habit of worry and diffidence, and especially in the healing of the sense of sorrow and separation at the time my father passed on.
