I am grateful for this means of expressing my gratitude for all that Christian Science is and for all that it does.
Although I was brought up in a Christian Science Sunday School I slipped into the byways of material pleasures and began to smoke and drink. I was a heavy smoker, using as much as a pack of cigarettes a day. The habit continued for more than ten years.
When my wife was healed of a chronic malady through Christian Science, I took up a serious study of this Science for myself. The taste for social drinking left me immediately, but I continued to smoke.
