Testimony of Healing January 22, 1944 Issue

My parents were sturdy pioneers...

Anna Snygg Brown with contributions from Frances Rankin Hauser

My parents were sturdy pioneers, who made daily use of the Bible, so I was as good a Christian as I knew how to be. It was in the year 1914 that I became interested in Christian Science. My sister, who had been healed several years before, was a faithful student, but I, being a medical nurse, could not understand how Science could be of interest to me, although I was grateful for what it had done for her.

Two members of our family had passed on from tuberculosis, and having shared in the care of them, I was increasingly afraid of the ailment. So I began to study Christian Science in earnest. In about six weeks the fear and a cough that had developed left me; then I felt sure I had been guided aright.

Considerable effort was required on my part to overcome an ugly prejudice against Mrs. Eddy, but that vanished when I became more enlightened. I learned that Mrs. Eddy made practical use of divine law and that, through faithful striving, I too could think and live that way. My interest in Christian Science increased, and I began to have proof of the ever-presence of God and the immediate availability of divine law.
