It was in the year 1906 that I first heard of Christian Science. At this time I had many ailments, and just through my reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy all the ailments disappeared. Later, while still new in Christian Science, I had a serious eye difficulty, and I turned to a practitioner for help. I had treatment and received some relief, but I did not respond as I should.

One day the practitioner asked me if it was in my thought to go to a doctor, and I said that it was, for I believed there was something in my eyes that needed to be removed.
