When I was a child, a sister was healed by Christian Science treatment. This healing seemed very wonderful to me, and I became interested ; but although I was helped and many times experienced healings, I was never able to understand Christian Science, and as I grew older the study of it was dropped entirely.

About two years ago my eyes were in such a condition that I was unable to read or sew without intense pain and a greatly inflamed condition of the lids. Glasses were worn but did not help any, and other forms of material treatment were tried without success. One day I came across my copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and started to read it. This time I knew everything I was reading to be the truth, and I could understand it. I continued reading every day, and before a week had passed my eyes were healed. I have been able to discard glasses, and have used my eyes almost constantly since. The trouble has returned several times, but each time at a greater interval and with less effect, and it has been quickly overcome with the knowledge of Christian Science. I have also been healed of influenza and colds. An internal trouble from which I had suffered eight months under medical treatment before recovering, was healed in three days under Christian Science treatment and has not returned.

Although grateful for the physical healings, I am far more grateful for the knowledge of God that has come to me through the study of Christian Science. This understanding has freed me from a lifelong terror of darkness, of the ocean, and of fire. It seems impossible fully to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, whose loving consecration made it possible for us all to know the truth.
