Over two years ago my eyes were healed by Christian Science treatment after having been pronounced incurable by several expert oculists. I was told they were nineteen degrees out of focus, and that while an operation might possibly give me relief, the chances were against me, and that I might become cross-eyed under it. So meagre were the chances for success that the oculists would not advise the operation, in spite of my wish to undergo it. I wore very heavy prisms, the last resource, which scarcely helped me. Reading, or any continued use of my eyes, resulted in a headache after ten or fifteen minutes. The healing was accomplished almost entirely by absent treatment, and in four or five months. Although I acknowledge my healing,—it was too evident to do otherwise,—I did not become interested in Christian Science until a few months later. when I received instruction from one of Mrs. Eddy's students. Since then, although grateful for the healing of my eyes, I have found that the spiritual blessings are unspeakably more precious. I have never publicly expressed my gratitude, nor can I now but faintly. I thank God for our beloved Leader, Mary Baker G. Eddy, through whom we have learned the truth of Christian Science. My heart is filled with love and gratitude for her.
