For several years I had worn glasses for sewing, watching picture shows, and reading fine print. I had the lenses changed shortly after taking up the study of Christian Science, but they seemed worse than ever. After making several attempts to see better I asked a practitioner what to do and her answer was, "Mind sees; we must realize that sight is spiritual." After leaving her I had to take off my glasses to be able to see more clearly, and I have never had any need of them since. The healing was instantaneous. I read until late every evening and early in the morning before I arise, and can see perfectly at all times, even to read the finest print. This healing took place over seven years ago.

When very young I began the habit of cigarette smoking and continued for many years. Until Christian Science came to me I did not realize how wrong it was; then I tried to stop, but could not. I had help, and tried every way I knew to overcome it, but I could not seem to get my healing. One day while I was talking to a friend she asked me why I did not join the Christian Science church. I told her that I wanted to, but that I had not overcome the desire for smoking. Her reply was so helpful that I was immediately healed, and never wanted another cigarette. I was very grateful for this healing because I condemned myself so for the habit, and my true desire was for good and good only.

I have had many other healings. Previously, I could never go through a winter without suffering from many colds, but after I understood that God is the only power, to the extent of knowing that drafts or water could not cause me to take cold or be sick, I have not had any cold. I have been healed of gastritis and constipation, of bad disposition, and of many wrong traits of character.
