When I realize how different my life and my entire outlook on life have become since I have been interested in Christian Science, then I feel as though words were not adequate with which to express my gratitude. A year ago, I was in the midst of two struggles,—battling for the life of my child and fighting for the light of my eyes. Relying only on materiel aid and hampered by an overabundance of fear and selfish love, I lost the first battle—my baby died. It was then I began to defy God and man. I was convinced I believed in neither, and I did not seem to care what happened to my eyes. It was just at this time that I was brought in contact with several Christian Scientists, and their sweet confidence and faith awoke in me a new hope—the hope of a good God. Finally one day I was told by the specialist under whose care I had been that there was very little hope, and my foe, blindness, was gaining the upper hand; then I knew that the time had come when I would prove God's goodness to be or not to be,—and I did.

That day I went directly from the specialist to a practitioner and received a treatment. To me it was a wonderful miracle, when after the third treatment I casually glanced at a newspaper and found that, without any effort, I could read any part of it, while for over a year I had been unable even to decipher the headlines. Since then other physical troubles which had been the despair of my family and the puzzle of several physicians have been easily and permanently overcome, as also have feelings of bitterness and resentment. My one hope is that I may so live as to reflect truly that God who is Love. I am indeed grateful.
