RADIO PROGRAM No. 96 - "The lame shall walk"

Winona N. Heimann

On this program Mrs. Winona N. Heimann of Los Angeles, California, told of her own experience, as follows:

I was in my teens, somewhere between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. My doctors diagnosed the condition as rheumatic fever. The case was a very intense one, and the fever settled in my knees, drying up the fluid in my kneecaps. I became slightly lame at first, but by the time I was twenty-one my knees were almost rigid and very painful. I was so lame that I had to use a cane in order to walk.

This was something like the experience of a very dear friend of mine who had been an opera singer. She fell and broke her knee, and the joint fluid ran out. As a result she had to give up her singing and walked on crutches for three years. However, she was healed in Christian Science and was walking normally. She kept lovingly urging me to try Christian Science, but I was skeptical and would not. Then I went to a specialist who told me that there was nothing known which could restore the joint fluid, and that I would always be lame. When I heard this, I went from his office to see my friend, and I poured out my troubles to her.
