gentleman took a book from its bookcase saying, "Here
is a work on Christian Science." It proved to be Science
and Health. I knew as soon as I had read the title-page
that this was the very book we wanted. We immediately
sent for the book, and when it arrived we obeyed the angel
and feasted on it. I was very much prejudiced against
the Bible, and my first demonstration over self was to
consent to read the four Gospels. My wife bought me a
New Testament and I began to read it. What a change
came over me! All my prejudice was gone in an instant!
When I read the Master's words, I caught his meaning
and the lesson he tried to convey. It was not difficult for
me to accept the whole Bible, for I could not help myself,
I was just captured. The disease with which I had been
troubled for years tormented me worse than ever for
about six months, as if trying to turn me aside; but I lost
all fear of it.

I kept up my study of Science and Health and the dis-
ease disappeared. I can honestly say that Science and
Health was my only healer, and it has been my only
teacher. – R. A. C., Los Angeles, Cal.

Christian Science came to me when I was a wreck, my
body being completely covered with sores. My eyes were
very bad, so that I sat in a darkened room for weeks to-
gether, most of the time in bed under opiates. The home
doctor and a specialist said the disease of the eyes could not
be cured, though they might help me for a while. I had
one operation, and the doctor said if I took cold I would
become totally blind. My suffering was beyond telling.

A clergyman called almost every day, and sat by my bed
and wept, and my good, kind doctor shed tears many times.
Finally, after a year of this terrible suffering, I was sent
to Indiana, to a sister who had been healed of lung trouble
by Christian Science. The first day I was there she read
to me from the Bible and from "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and I was healed.
I knew that God was no respecter of persons, and when I
saw what had been done for my sister, who was changed
from being a mere frame to a strong, robust, healthy, rosy-
cheeked woman, the cough all gone, I said, "God has as
much for me, if I will accept it." I was healed instan-
taneously by Christian Science, and am thankful to God
for giving us this understanding through Mrs. Eddy,
our beloved Leader. I am now in perfect health. –
Mrs. F. S., Laurel, Miss.

For twelve years previous to the fall of 1897 I had been
under the care of a physician much of the time. Different
opinions were given by them, as to the nature of the trouble,
some diagnosing it as an abnormal growth, etc. I was
healed through reading "Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. It was a clear case of
transformation of the body by the renewal of the mind.
I am perfectly well at the present time. – J. M. H.,
Omaha, Neb.
