  	                           MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME 

  	    In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I
18	read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who
  	hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous
  	light." 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. H. A.,
