In January, 1895, the book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" was brought to me so forcibly, by means of a friend being remarkably healed, that I went at it to study its contents as if my life depended upon it. It shows us how to read the Bible with new meaning, it gives us larger and broader ideas, and it shows God, the one Mind, to be the only real Life, Truth, Love, Intelligence, and Substance.
When I first began studying Christian Science, I had been wearing glasses constantly for eight years.
While in my Freshman year at college, it was discovered that I was afflicted with astigmatism, was far-sighted in one eye and near-sighted in the other.
