A week ago a friend wrote to me on business, and in the letter stated that
his wife had been very ill for six weeks. At once the thought came, "Tell
her to read the chapter on Healing, in Science and Health." In my answer
to his letter I obeyed the thought. A few days after, I had occasion to
call; found her much better, and _reading_ Science and Health. They had
done as directed, and had received the promise.--R., New York

The first allusion to Christian Science reached me in an article I read on
that subject. Later, a friend came to visit me, bringing a copy of
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," For two weeks I read it
eagerly; then I sent for a copy for myself. When it came, I began to study
it. The Bible, of which I had had but a dim understanding, began to grow
clearer. The light grew brighter each day. Finally, I began to treat
myself against ills that had bound me for twenty-eight years. At the end
of six weeks I was _healed_, much to the amazement of all who knew me.
From that time, my desire was to help others out of their suffering, and
to talk this wonderful truth. After a while I took the class lectures, and
am doing what I can to spread this healing gospel.--A. M. G.

get it from God by asking for it. I suffered, as I think but very few
have, for fourteen years; yet I did not think it sufficient to warrant me
in asking God to help me, until I gave up all hope elsewhere,--and this
occurred in the spring of 1891. I then thought that the time had come to
commit myself to God. Being at home alone, after going to bed I prayed God
to deliver me from my torments, this sentence being the substance of my
prayer, "What shall I do to be saved?"

I repeated that sentence, I suppose, until I fell asleep. About twelve
o'clock at night, I saw a vision in the form of a man with wings, standing
at the foot of my bed,--wings partly spread,--one arm hanging loosely at his
side, and one extended above his head. At the same tim
