Dear Journal: Please find room in your columns for these few lines; for mortals must know what happiness I have found in Christian Science. I have been quite deaf all my life, the infirmity being hereditary. I suffered when a child with my ears, for months together, so I could not attend school. About five years ago, some machinery exploded. A piece of the iron hit the side of my head; and the drum of my left ear was perforated with five holes, and my head was injured inwardly. For this I have been doctored most of the time. During five months my ear discharged blood and matter. There were times when I suffered greatly. Over one year ago the pain in my head became constant. I wished someone would shoot me, for life was a burden. I could not work, I could not read, and there was no hope of a cure.
I was told to go to Mrs. W. T. Carpenter, a Christian Scientist of our town. I said to her that if I could only be relieved in my head, it would be all I would ask, for I could not expect to recover my hearing. The doctors all said that was impossible. Mrs. Carpenter said to me that all things were possible, through God. The second day after my treatment I received my hearing. I am lifted out of the darkness into light. I am a new man, free from dyspepsia of nine years' standing, free from all pain. I have my hearing, and am able to do as hard a day's work as any man in the county. Last, but not least, I appreciate God as I never could before, and realize that all things are possible.
Grand Junction, Colorado.
