totally blind.

I felt sure that Christian Science would help me if I could only fully
understand it; but there was no one from whom I could ask help, that I
knew of. I gave all the time that I could use my eyes to studying Science
and Health,--which at first was not more than five minutes two, and
sometimes three, times a day; gradually my sight returned, until it was
fully restored.

During this time God and the "little book" were my only help. My
understanding was very limited; but like the prodigal son, I had turned
away from the husks, towards my Father's house, and while I "was yet a
great way off" my Father came to meet me. When this great cloud of
darkness was banished by the light of Truth, could I doubt that Christian
Science was indeed the "Comforter" that would lead us "into all truth"?

Again I lay at the point of death; but holding steadfastly to the truth,
knowing, from the teaching of this precious book, that God is Life and
there is no death, I was raised up to health,--restored to my husband and
little children, all of whom I am thankful to say are now with me in
Science.

I had no one to talk with on this subject, knew no one of whose
understanding I felt sure enough to ask for help; but I was careful from
the first not to read or inquire into anything except genuine Christian
Science, and how thankful I am for it! Since then, I have been through a
class.

I cannot express in words what Christian Science has done for my children,
or my gratitude that the light of Truth has come to them in their innocent
childhood,--healing all claims of sickness, and showing us how to overcome
the more stubborn claims of sin.--L. F. B.

It is a little over one year since a very esteemed friend, of this city,
invited me to partake of the heavenly manna contained in the revelation of
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I had, up to that time,
been for fifteen years a victim of hip-joint disease; this eventually
confining me to my bed, where I had been ten months when the "book of
prophecy" was opened for me. I was not long in finding the light I
needed,--that gave "feet to the lame," enabling me now to go, move, and
walk, where I will, without crutch or support of any description, save the
staff of divine Science.

In proportion as my thoughts are occupied with the work in Science, does
the peace and joy come inwardly that transforms the bli
