Testimonies of Healing

After suffering from a belief of very weak eyes from my childhood...

From the June 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


After suffering from a belief of very weak eyes from my childhood, I became unable to see clearly without the aid of glasses. They did not relieve the pain in my eyes, but I was able to see more clearly. After about two years, my eyes becoming no better (but worse), I was much discouraged, and had my eyes examined by a physician, who told me to drop my studies, as he thought the optic nerve was affected. I then went to the most noted optician in our region he told me I was rapidly growing blind; that an operation must be performed, but he thought I would always have to wear glasses. I did not consent to the operation, but came home quite discouraged. About a week afterward, I was asked by a Christian Scientist (Mrs. B. of Binghamton) why I wore glasses.

I told her, and she took me up in treatment, without informing me. In two treatments I was healed. The thought came to me as she treated me, "I do not need to wear glasses any longer." I removed them and for the first time in a long while I read two hours by lamplight, that evening. Since then I have not favored my eyes one particle. They are perfectly well. I am now a firm believer in Christian Science, and also a student in Mrs. B.'s class. You may use my signature if you wish. —
