Because it was required of all students at that time, I studied physiology in grade school. Mrs. Eddy says (Science and Health, p. 312), "How true it is that whatever is learned through material sense must be lost because such so-called knowledge is reversed by the spiritual facts of being in Science." Therefore, chapter seven in Science and Health, "Physiology" (pp. 165-200), was very interesting to me later as a new student of Christian Science, for it was a reversal of what I had learned through the study of physiology in school. I was beginning to see myself as a child of God, a spiritual idea, governed by God, divine Mind.

I am most grateful to God for the Master, Christ Jesus, and for Mrs. Eddy, his faithful follower. I am thankful for improved sight through the study of the weekly Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly, together with the Bible and Science and Health. This was my treasure: glasses, bifocals, which I had worn from 1946 through 1959, were laid aside. I would like to share this healing with you.

Several years after I had begun the study of this Science and to attend a branch church regularly, I went to have my glasses changed again. The doctor said my new glasses were as strong as he could make them, that my sight would never be any better, and that eventually I might lose it. I could not quite believe this. But he said that I must wear my glasses all the time. At this point a statement from Science and Health about divine Love's taking care of all our needs gave me hope and courage.
