With joy and gratitude for the many proofs of the healing power of Truth revealed in Christian Science I give this testimony.

Many years ago, when I was a child, I witnessed the healing of an uncle through this Science. The conviction of its power to heal was so instilled in my consciousness that nothing has been able to shake it. My uncle was forced to undergo an operation for cataracts, and although the operation was performed by an eminent specialist, it was unsuccessful, leaving him totally blind. His visual organism was wrecked beyond human repair.

He then turned to Christian Science for help, and his sight was restored. He proved true this statement in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (p.393): "When Jesus declares that 'the light of the body is the eye,' he certainly means that light depends upon Mind, not upon the complex humors, lenses, muscles, the iris and pupil, constituting the visual organism." Although the iris and pupil of one of his eyes never returned to the place that mortal mind calls necessary for sight, he could see.
