  	                  MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALED 

21	    I did not accept Christian Science on account of any
  	healing of my own, but after seeing my mother, who was
  	fast drifting toward helplessness with rheumatism, restored
24	to perfect health with only a few treatments in Christian
  	Science, I thought surely this must be the truth as Jesus
  	taught and practised it, and if so it was what I had been
27	longing for. 
  	    This was about ten years ago and was the first I had
  	ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy
30	of Science and Health and I began in the right way to
 1	see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought
  	of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think
 3	I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something
  	I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the
  	Scriptures. 
 6	    It was not long after I began reading before I dis-
  	covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could
  	read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was
 9	something I could not do before, as my eyes had always
  	been weak. The doctors said they never would be very
  	strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose
12	my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses,
  	and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them,
  	my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk
15	being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed,
  	I also noticed that I w...as entirely healed of another ail-
  	ment which had been with me all my life, and which was
18	believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth
  	has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view
  	myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and
21	compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my
  	eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born
  	again" and that I have daily been putting off "the
24	old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new
  	man." 
  	    Some of the many things that have been overcome
27	through the study of Science and Health, and through
  	realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro-
  	fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which
30	made both myself and those around me at times very
  	miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc.
