HOME AND CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT

Teaching Grandmamma Christian Science

From the September 1890 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A lady who has been very successful in healing says she owes it mainly to her two little daughters, and in corroboration tells the following:—

I should have stumbled many a time, through my blindness, had not their clear perception of Truth and their watchfulness saved me. They are so wise in their childish way! One day my little Lilla overheard me say that I had so many patients I thought I could not take any more. "Oh, yes, mamma, you can!" she said in a sweet persuasive manner, "for the more patients you have the more patience you will have!" This encouragement to persevere in my labor of Love, proved of incalculable value to me; for in taking more patients, I lost more of self and gained a better understanding of the Divine Spirit of self-sacrifice.

My children always do their own healing. Sometimes after the belief is conquered, they will tell me of the glorious victory won over error, and say: "Mamma, I had quite a struggle with that lie; but I downed it." That will often be the first intimation that there had been a "lie" to "down."
