I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for what it has done and is doing for me and my family.

Our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, wrote in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 210): "Beloved Christian Scientists, keep your minds so filled with Truth and Love, that sin, disease, and death cannot enter them. It is plain that nothing can be added to the mind already full." And she adds: "Good thoughts are an impervious armor; clad therewith you are completely shielded from the attacks of error of every sort. And not only yourselves are safe, but all whom your thoughts rest upon are thereby benefited."

One of the many healings I have had in Christian Science, for which I am very grateful, is of bondage to the tobacco habit. I had used tobacco off and on for a great many years, and while I had quit the habit a number of times, I always had a desire for it, and would resume its use, being lulled by the voice of error arguing that it was no worse to use tobacco than to abstain from its us and yet have a desire for it. I not only had had the tobacco habit ever since I was a young man, but had merchandised it and was familiar with all the various brands and degrees of domestic and imported tobacco; and while I had often read what our Leader says about the use of tobacco on pages 407 and 454 of Science and Health, I did not see why the use of tobacco should hinder my progress in Christian Science.
