When I was struggling with a false sense of self, helpless and hopeless because of my ignorance of God and His creation, the healing light of pure Christian Science first shone for me. As a result of the consecrated work of a practitioner, the "Peace, be still" of the Master was finally heard and heeded. I began the study of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, with little comprehension; but hope in God and in His abiding love for me and for all made me persist until the gloom of human forebodings vanished. I make grateful acknowledgement of the truth voiced at our Wednesday evening testimony meetings, to which I owe many healings.

I had worn glasses for fifteen years. They were thrown out of a window by a small boy during a railway journey. At the end of the journey I searched in vain for the glasses; then I recalled a testimony I had heard ten days before. A man had testified that he was reading Science and Health when he suddenly realized that he no longer needed his spectacles, took them off, and threw them away. Immediate realization that God gave me my sight, that sight is spiritual, and hence that I did not need eyeglasses in order to see God's perfect, spiritual creation, healed me at once of the need of wearing glasses.
