If I had only heeded the blessed counsel of Truth!
I went to Chicago, however, so full of confidence in Christian Science
that I supposed every one who had studied with Mrs. Eddy must be right.
Unfortunately, I took my course with a spiritualist who had been through
two of her classes; discovered my mistake, and went to a mind-cure,—only
to find the mistake repeated. Being an earnest seeker for Truth, I tried
again to go to the Massachusetts Metaphysical College; but it was
uncertain when there would be a class, so I took a course with one of Mrs.
Eddy’s students in Boston. The darkness now rolled away. Science and
Health once more revealed the light to me as of old.
All this time, the mind-curers had me in view, and were sending me
reading-matter; but, _praise the Lord!_ Truth is victorious.
My dear brothers and sisters, let us be safely guided by the counsels of
our Mother, in Science and Health! I, for one, am astounded that I was so
led astray; but I did it all through ignorance,—and the _sincere_ desire
to know the truth and to _do_ it, saved me.
Your sister in truth, R. D.

I have been reading Science and Health for one year and a half, and have
had 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.
