The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later... to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.
