I was in this state of mind and body when Christian
Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering,
presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not
believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris-
tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been
looking for all my life. I began to read Science and
Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that
I could love and trust God. I took to studying the
Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and
other Christian Science literature for a year. After
studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one
day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken
no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was
perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and
Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit-
ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine
can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism
and had for several years been obliged to use special
glasses when reading or working, and could never use
my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first
reading of Science and Health I found that I could read
in any light and for any length of time without the slight-
est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi-
cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice
that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor-
rowing. – E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare,
