Testimony of Healing June 28, 1982 Issue

I became acquainted with Christian Science...

LEILA MILLER BROWN with contributions from GORDON B. BROWN

I became acquainted with Christian Science while in my early teens. One of my high-school friends invited me to go with her to the Christian Science Sunday School she attended. When I did, it was like going through an open door into a new world. Our family had experienced considerable tragedy, but in the Sunday School I learned that God is Love and that He sends only good to His children. For this I could never be grateful enough.

During the Depression I was able to go to college. It had seemed impossible at one time, but through prayer I was able to demonstrate that divine Love supplies all our needs. Employment was always available when I needed it, and the Christian Science college organization on campus was a wonderful help and inspiration.

I have had many healings in Science, but one of the clearest to me was the healing of one of my hands, which had been partially paralyzed for about two years. I was working as an accountant and studying piano during this period, so the condition was very inconvenient. At first, I didn't take it seriously. Instead I just dismissed the problem. However, it gradually became worse. A Christian Science practitioner helped me from time to time, and I studied and prayed the best I knew how. Then one morning I could not use my hand at all.
