Several years ago while sewing beads on an evening sweater in an elaborate pattern, I suddenly found I could neither see to thread a needle nor find the holes in the beads. This was alarming, for I had never had any eye trouble.

I studied all the references I could find on sight in the Bible, and in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, but there seemed to be no improvement in my vision. Since Christmas was fast approaching and the sweater—a gift—was unfinished, reluctantly I went to an optometrist for a prescription for glasses.

The optometrist, knowing I was a great-grandmother, remarked that it was probably time I had glasses! I reminded myself that sight is really spiritual and not dependent upon age or other material factors. However, I finished the sweater, and used the glasses for needlework and reading. I knew that someday I would be free of this need, but I always postponed the day of more dedicated scientific study.
