RADIO PROGRAM No. 60 - You Can Prove the Power of Prayer

Jeanne Dixon

On this program Mrs. Jeanne Dixon of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, told of her own experience, as follows:

I'm a professional drama and speech instructor, so you can see I depend on my voice quite heavily. Once years ago, before I was interested in Christian Science, I had serious difficulty with my throat. At that time, the surgeon who operated on me said that if there was a recurrence of this trouble at any time, there would be no further help for me, surgical or otherwise.

I wasn't troubled with my throat again until some years later. Then I became desperately ill with a large swelling in the throat which affected the tongue and jaw to such an extent I could not speak. It became almost impossible to swallow and breathe, and there was considerable pain. I wanted release from suffering at any price; in fact, I was tempted to welcome death as a means of escape, as apparently I seemed to be at the point of passing on. By this time I had become a Christian Scientist. I called a Christian Science practitioner, who quickly perceived the urgency of the situation. He pointed out clearly and strongly the spiritual facts of being—that God was my Life, and that divine Life was reflected in living, not dying. Also, that in reality man has no choice but to be the active reflection of divine Truth and Love.
