Having lately come to the knowledge of Truth as you teach it, I take the liberty to address you, trusting that, true to your doctrine of Love and Mercy, you will understand the longings of a hungry soul. For several years I have had a belief of deafness whiceh has been very hard to bear. I have spent everything for treatment, but all to no purpose. For more than two months I have been treated by a ScientistEditorial Note: Christian Scientist; and although I embrace the teachings of Christian Science, and in the face of severe opposition accept it as the only true Life, I cannot overcome the old belief of physical deafness. Is it right for me to say I accept it under the circumstances? I desire if possible to have an interview with you for advice and counsel. I have attended your meetings but have not risen above the old belief enough to be able to hear the sermons. I wish especially know whether I am doing right to try and help others while I cannot give personal evidence of this mighty power. Please give this consideration and grant me an interview, or at least answer my question through your valuable "Journal," whose pages are a continual help and inspiration. I know your time is very valuable, but I long for a few words from the lips of the great teacher.
