Testimony of Healing August 29, 1977 Issue

Margaret M. Brown with contributions from W. Roy Brown

For more than forty years now I have been enjoying the blessings to be derived from an earnest study of Christian Science. During that time I became the mother of four fine sons. Since my husband is also a student of Christian Science, we have relied entirely upon Truth, as taught and demonstrated by Mary Baker Eddy, to heal every erroneous condition and solve every problem. Some problems have been solved very quickly, one might say instantaneously, while others have required patience and perseverance. Our children attended the Christian Science Sunday School and learned early to trust God for healing. We all believed implicitly what Mary Baker Eddy tells us in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 494): "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." And we have proved it!

In the summer of 1944 we had a testing time, as nearly every child in our vicinity was stricken with measles. Our understanding of Christian Science at that time was not sufficient for us to see the disease as unreal and our children were also stricken.

Our three older children had a very light case of the disease and were soon up and playing happily about the house; but our eleven-month-old son didn't fare so well. Complications set in after the disease. One morning I noticed that one side of his head was larger than the other. Fear took possession of me, and it seemed wise to call a Christian Science practitioner. I did so immediately, and the practitioner lovingly began prayerful treatment for the child.
