For more than ten years I have enjoyed the benefits resulting from the application of my understanding of Principle attained through the study of Christian Science. In the degree that I have been willing to know and obey Principle as taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I have in that measure seen and felt the power of demonstration.

In 1902, after vainly seeking spiritual understanding through the teachings of the church of which in my youth I was an active member, I became an avowed unbeliever. The succeeding seven years were spent in following the course of my own will and pleasure, resulting only in disappointment. Finally, to please my wife, I consulted a Christian Science practitioner, without hope that he could help me in my tangled business and social affairs, but told him to go ahead, that I did not see how he could possibly do me any harm. At that time I was a consistent user of liquor and tobacco, the latter to the extent of about fifteen cigars a day. While under treatment, the desire for liquor left me at once and the desire for tobacco left me very soon afterwards.

At the time I took up the study of Christian Science, in 1909 (for I became interested as soon as I began to see there was really something to study), I had worn glasses constantly for thirteen years, my work as a practicing lawyer requiring constant application. After a few weeks' study, I removed my glasses, which before that I had never been able to lay aside for an hour without suffering. Since that time I have never worn glasses, and I was accepted by the United States Army as an officer of artillery in the war and saw several weeks' service at the front without question as to my eyesight or ever suffering an inconvenience therefrom, although I had to make minute measurements from battle maps and prepare reports and data in the darkness of an underground dugout with only the light of a carefully shaded candle.
