I am responding to an article in The Christian Science Journal of November 1994, entitled "Why do I write for the periodicals?" The following healings have brought me untold joy and gratitude—examples of "the invisible good" discussed on page 78 of Science and Health: "Spirit blesses man, but man cannot 'tell whence it cometh.' By it the sick are healed, the sorrowing are comforted, and the sinning are reformed. These are the effects of one universal God, the invisible good dwelling in eternal Science" (p. 78).

The first healing I must present very humbly, because it was a long time coming. I worked to earn my living for many years, and for a great many of them I smoked cigarettes. I'd gone to Christian Science Sunday School for a while when quite young, but in time took up smoking.

I did come back to Christian Science and to church on my own, later. And I loved it. I began to study and learn from the weekly Bible Lessons. Some people formed a Christian Science Society in our town. Then it became a church. We were such a happy church family.
