  	                     FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE AND JOY 

  	    I have often had a desire to make public what Chris-
18	tian Science has done for me, but I never could tell of
  	all my blessings, they are so many. From childhood
  	I was always sick, never knew one hour of rest, and was
21	under the doctor's care most of the time. I was living in
  	the East at that time, and was advised to try change of
  	climate, which I did. I came West with my family in
24	the spring of the year, but instead of growing better I
  	grew steadily worse, until at last I was obliged to keep
  	my bed for nearly three years, — a great sufferer. My
27	ailments were, it seemed, all that flesh is heir to, and
  	were called incurable by the doctors; viz., Bright's dis-
  	ease, and many others, — in the last stages. My case was
30	known among physicians, many of whom were prominent
 1	specialists, as a most extreme one. Many, upon looking
  	at me, would turn away with a wise shake of the head
 3	and say, "What keeps her alive?" My physicians, who
  	were exceedingly kind and did all that lay within their
  	power for me, gave me up and the death sentence was
 6	pronounced on me by all who attended me. 
  	    It was then I realized that "man's extremity is God's
  	opportunity." The "little book" was handed me at this
 9	hour of great need. I read it, not thinking it would heal
  	me, but, like a drowning man, I grasped at it. I read it,
  	read it again, and soon f...ound myself growing stronger;
12	then I kept on reading and was perfectly healed of all the
  	supposedly incurable diseases. — L. B., Austin, Minn.
