18 KIDNEY DISEASE AND EYE TROUBLE HEALED
Early in 1904 I was teaching in a private boarding-
school. I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I
21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general
health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate
did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change.
24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my
own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I
struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a
27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot
of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often
thought that life was not worth living. In September,
30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science
1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school,
and who was healed through Christian Science treatment.
3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation
it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I
6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when
I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found
myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought
9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord,
and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de-
scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris-
12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless
the L...ord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy.
My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words
15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as
myself, and following meekly and obediently all our
Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude
18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van-
couver, B. C.
