RADIO PROGRAM No. 167 - Why Prayer Can Heal

Speaker: Today we're going to hear from a man who had doubts as to whether prayer could heal sickness until he himself was healed. This man is Dr. Frederick G. Roberts of Chicago, Illinois, and he's here in person to tell us his own story. Dr. Roberts, won't you begin now?

Dr. Roberts: Well, I was a physician on the north side in Chicago for about ten years, with a very active practice. I was qualified in medicine, obstetrics, and gynecology and also in surgery. Then suddenly I became ill with a nervous breakdown and general physical collapse. For several weeks I suffered greatly and kept getting worse; there was even question whether I would recover at all. Four well-informed physicians were in consultation on the case, and each rendered a different diagnosis and recommended a different procedure of treatment. Finally my wife asked me to have Christian Science treatment; she was slightly interested at that time.

We'd love to hear from you!
