Over two years ago my eyes were healed by Christian Science...

From the March 1903 issue of The Christian Science Journal


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.
