Christ Jesus' response to the cen-
turion who asked help for his pal-
sied servant will be included in
the Bible reauL-jsi "And Jesus said
unto the centurion, Go thy wayj
and as thou hast believed, so be
it done unto thee. And his servant
was healed in the selfsame hour"
(Matt, 8:13}.
From "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy the following selection
will be read (180x25): "When man
is governed by God, the ever-
‘ present Mind who understands all
things, man knows that with God
all things are possible. The only
way to this living Truth, which
heals the sick, is found in the Sci-
ence of divine Mind as taught and
demonstrated by Christ Jesus. "

At TSO you are sure about your
eye condition because you receive the
two most important aspects of an eye
examination. First, the interior of each
eye is examined for evidence of disease
with the ophthalmoscope—an instru-
ment used by both medical doctors
(MD's) and optometric doctors (OD's).
Second, your eyes are examined for
visual abnormalities such as astigma-
tism, near or farsightedness and muscle
imbalance.
If needed, glasses or contact lenses
are fitted for the clearest, most com-
fortable vision possible.
