RADIO PROGRAM No. 139 - A Present Help in Trouble

On this program Mrs. Dorothy Reid of New York City told of her own experience. The program was as follows:

Speaker: The Bible tells us that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." How often we fail to realize just how much these words can mean! At a time of great trouble our guest learned how true and practical this promise of God's help can be. I'd like you to hear about it in her own words. Let me introduce Mrs. Dorothy Reid of New York City. Just when did this experience take place, Mrs. Reid?

Mrs. Reid: It was more than twenty-five years ago. I was in a sanatorium with what had been diagnosed as an advanced case of tuberculosis. I had been away from my home for a year and a half, and there was very little improvement. We were very discouraged, but at this point a business acquaintance of my husband's told him something of Christian Science, and he said he was sure it could heal me. He sounded very convincing; so my husband attended a Wednesday testimony meeting in a Christian Science church that very night. He knew at once that he had found something he had been searching for. Then he went to see a Christian Science practitioner for an explanation of this religion, and from that time on he never doubted that I could be healed.
