defect had existed since infancy, and that in time I should
be blind.
The thought of blindness was very distressing to me,
but I tried to bear it with Christian resignation, since
I thought that God had seen fit to afflict me; but since
I have learned that He is a loving Father, who gives
only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my
affliction. I had no treatment, but I read Science and
Health, and my eyes were healed and glasses laid aside.
I can never find words to express my thanks to our dear
Leader, through whose teachings my sight has been
regained. I can truthfully say that "whereas I was blind,
now I see" - through an understanding of Truth I
have found my sight perfect as God gave it. - Miss

A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND
It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God,
and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to
the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always
been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my
life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a
very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently
two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils behind
them, - debility, chronic constipation, and several
others, so that with these ills my life was often a
burden to me and I used to think I never should receive
relief or health. I had also lost all love for
God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who,
as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon
His children as a means for drawing them to Him.
