Nearly five years ago I was very ill with congestion of the brain, which so affected my eyes that I was obliged to wear a green shade over dark glasses on account of a sense of intense pain caused by the light. While in this state of suffering, Christian Science was brought to my notice. At first I paid little heed to its loving message, but some weeks later when it was again presented to me I began to think that there was something in it which would meet my need. Treatment was asked for and after three months I was healed. Shade and glasses were discarded the fourth week and have never been used since. Although constantly ill before the healing of my eyes, I have not had occasion to spend a day in bed since beginning to study Science and Health.
For the physical healing I am indeed grateful, but for the spiritual uplift experienced, I can find no word adequate to express my gratitude to God. My constant desire is to live a purer, nobler life, to be ever ready to extend a helping hand to others. I am also very grateful for the comfort and the sense of security gained by the realization of the protecting power of divine Love in times of danger and alarm. Thanks be to God for guiding Mrs. Eddy in her search for the truth, which she has so clearly set forth in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."—Sheringham, Norfolk, England.
