I have felt for a long time that I ought to tell of the many blessings that I and my family have received through Christian Science. It is almost two years since my husband was nearly blind,— could not bear the light at all, and for a long time we had given up all hope that he could ever see again. It seemed indeed the darkest time in my life, the thought of a blind companion, and four small children to care for, alone among strangers and with very little means to live on. But Christian Science came to our rescue, and in a short time his eyes were healed, and his health made perfect, whereas before coming to Christian Science he had not been able to do a good day's work for four years. Some one of the children was sick most of the time, and I myself had always been a slave to sick headache. All my life I would have it a week at a time. I had doctored for it, but all in vain. I supposed I would always have to suffer with it, and tried to be as patient as I could. When my husband accepted Christian Science I had no faith in it, but I said, if he was healed of the condition he was in, this would be proof enough for me that we needed no more medicine.
In a week after he commenced treatment he got on his wheel and rode twenty-five miles and back in the same day, and brought a copy of Science and Health home with him. I read it to him, and made up my mind I must have the Journal and Sentinel, so we sent for them, and read them together. I threw away all the medicine, but the last was the one I had been using for the baby every day. I stood and held it awhile, then I said if one goes all should go,— and out it went. I never needed it again, and we are all in perfect health. We have had many good demonstrations in the family, and are all very thankful for Christian Science, and could not get along one day without it. All we have, and all we are, we owe to it.
I cannot close without thanking Mrs. Eddy and all who have helped us into this new life of health and happiness.
