the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife
noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away
my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and
through the understanding gained by studying Christian
Science I have been able to do away with my indoor
glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes
since. This is now a year and a half ago. – G. F. S.,
Liverpool, England.

Fourteen years ago my heart awoke to gratitude to
Fourteen years ago my heart awoke to gratitude to
God and the dear Leader at the same time. After a
patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to
procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time
I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second-
hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed
to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told
me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and
McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in
some way connected with the work. I sent there for
information regarding a book called Health and Science,
and the return mail brought me the book, Science and
Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver-
ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani-
ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia,
and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life,
finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies,
and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have
been held in such bondage and have been liberated by
the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal
of that wonderful book.

Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found
the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only
of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I
should be led to some person who would heal me; but
old things had passed away, and all things had become
new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien-
tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science,
and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science
literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely
certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was
also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once
demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms
of error. – E. J. W., North Yakima, Wash.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send the
particulars of my healing through Christian Science.
While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On-
tario, about three years ago, my attention was called
to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was
doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years,
but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my
recollection.

Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered
with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often
being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart.
I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for
four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every
known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only
gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci-
ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that
