With deep gratitude to God I acknowledge the benefit...
With deep gratitude to God I acknowledge the benefit received through Christian Science. I was deaf in one ear and partially so in the other, followed by great pain for a year. I was very much discouraged, knowing that such an affliction would be detrimental to me in my work as a nurse. My doctor examined the ear and said I had taken cold in it, and that it would probably be better when the warm weather came; but the warm weather came and left again, and the ear was no better.
I then consulted an ear specialist, who said I had some catarrh, and that for some time I would have to go to him twice a week to have the ear treated. I had some treatments from him, but without any good results; so I decided to try Christian Science. I went to a practitioner, who treated me, and from that moment the pain was gone; but the deafness was still there. In three days I had another treatment, after which I did some shopping, a thing I very much disliked to do on account of my deafness, as I could not hear what the clerks said to me; but on this occasion I had such a sense of happiness that I forgot all about it. On leaving the store I met a friend, and while talking to her I discovered that my hearing was restored. I felt so full of joy and of thankfulness to God that my feet scarcely seemed to touch the street.
During the past year I have had two other almost instantaneous cures, and also have experienced a great spiritual uplift through the clear knowledge that divine Love is ever present to guide and sustain me. All these and many more blessings I owe to Christian Science, and I am thankful to God and grateful to Mrs. Eddy for the light which shines on my path.
Mrs. A. D. Vaughn, Los Angeles, Cal.
