12	                    SEVERE EYE TROUBLE OVERCOME 

  	    After hearing Christian Science lightly spoken of,
  	from a Christian pulpit, I decided to go to one of the
15	services and hear for myself. From infancy I had
  	been devoted to my church, and as soon as I was old
  	enough I was ever active in the work. Feeling it to
18	be my duty to attend every service held in my own
  	church, I took advantage of the Wednesday evening
  	meetings. My first visit was not my last, I am thank-
21	ful to say, for I saw immediately that these people
  	not only preached Christianity, but practised and lived
  	it. At that time I was wearing glasses and had worn
24	them for sixteen years. At times I suffered the most
  	intense pain, and for this phase of the trouble, one
  	specialist after another had been consulted. All gave
27	me very much the same advice; each one urged ex-
  	treme carefulness and gave me glasses that seemed to
  	relieve for a time. None of them held out any hope
30	that my sight would ever be restored, saying that the
 1	defect had existed since infancy, and that in time I should
  	be blind. 
 3	    The thought of blindness was very distressing to me,
  	but I tried to bear it with Christian resignation, since
  	I thought that God had seen fit to afflict me; but since
 6	I have learned that He is a loving Father, who gives
  	only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my
  	affliction. I had no treatment, but I read Science ...and
 9	Health, and my eyes were healed and glasses laid aside. 
  	I can never find words to express my thanks to our dear
  	Leader, through whose teachings my sight has been re-
12	gained. I can truthfully say that "whereas I was blind,
  	now I see" — through an understanding of Truth I
  	have found my sight perfect as God gave it. — Miss
