In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," under the marginal heading "Truth by inversion," Mary Baker Eddy tells us (p. 129), "If you wish to know the spiritual fact, you can discover it by reversing the material fable, be the fable pro or con,—be it in accord with your preconceptions or utterly contrary to them." This statement was conclusively proved to me by a complete healing in my human experience.

After spending a summer vacation enjoying the swimming and sun at the beach, I became afflicted with a very painful and unsightly condition of the eyes. I was unable to see well or to read. I consulted the oculist about the necessity of changing my glasses. His diagnosis was that the changing of glasses was not the answer, because my eyes had been stricken by a serious disease caused by the sun and glare on the beach. He stated that there was no cure or help for this condition and warned me that if I ever again went into the sunlight and glare of a beach, I would become completely blind.

I refused to accept this verdict and turned with radical reliance to Christian Science. My son gave me the Talking Book of Science and Health, and I played the records for hours, repeating all I could memorize, as well as repeating and dwelling on passages from the Bible.
