When I became acquainted with Christian Science, I was in a state of nervous depression, suffering mentally and physically. I was completely unstrung and very much discouraged as the result of a family tragedy, which for months had made me sleepless.

One day a copy of The Herald of Christian Science—French edition—came to me from a friend in Geneva. I scarcely looked at it. Then, later on I took it up and read it through. The reading of the articles and the testimonies in the Herald transformed my thinking, and I decided to attend a Wednesday evening meeting. While listening to the testimonies given there, I became conscious of a great calm, and my doubts disappeared; but I wished to know more about the healing power of which I had heard in the testimonies. The next day I went to see a practitioner and asked her for help. She told me with much gentleness that God could meet my needs, for God is Love and ever present, and that evil is unreal. I left her home full of joy and healed of my despair.

My health has been restored; peace has been reinstated in my home, and harmony reigns in my surroundings. Among other physical difficulties, my sight had been much impaired. I was not able to see with one eye, and was obliged to put on glasses when I went out. On my second visit to the practitioner I came away without the glasses. Since then I have not put them on when going out, and I see with both eyes.
