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 15 B. S., Wilmington, N. C. Read more
