some wonderful demonstrations. People here are antagonistic to the
Science, and tell me that I am a "fit subject for the asylum." Physicians
threaten me with arrest, also, but I walk straight on, knowing _well in
whom I trust_.

A little over two years ago, while living in Pittsburgh, my wife and I had
Christian Science brought to our attention. We were at once interested,
and bought a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
At the time, Mrs. A---- was suffering with severe belief of astigmatism of
the eyes. She had been treated by a number of specialists, during seven
years, the last being the late Dr. Agnew of New York, who prescribed two
sets of glasses. He said that he could do nothing more for her, as the
trouble was organic; that she must wear glasses constantly; that if she
attempted to go without, she would become either blind or insane. The
glasses were in operation, and still life had become a burden from
constant pain, when Christian Science came to our relief. Mrs. A---- had not
in years read for two consecutive minutes, and could not use her eyes in
sewing at all. The lady that told us of the Science, insisted that she
_could_ read Science and Health, which she actually did,--reading it
through twice, and studying it carefully each time. After the second
reading, there came the thought that she did not need the glasses, and she
at once abandoned them, and went about her usual duties. In about two
weeks from that day the eyes were perfectly healed, and are well and
strong to-day.

_My Dear Teacher:_--Yours without date is at hand. Could you know out of
what depths of material _debris_ the first reading of the first volume of
Science and Health, six years ago last December, lifted me, you would
believe it had always been "all I could ask." It was _only_ words from the
pen of _uninspired_ writers that gave me pain. As the revelation of the
All-good appeared to me, all other books, all forms of religion, all
methods of healing, to my sense became void. Chronic beliefs of disease of
twenty years' standing, dimness of sight from the belief of age, all
disappeared _instantly_; indeed, material life seemed a blank. The _why?_
I could not explain, but this I did know, in this realm of the real I
found joy, peace, rest, love to al
