RADIO PROGRAM No. 183 - "No power apart from God"

Lois B. Estey

Speaker: "There is no power apart from God." Our guest first heard these words at a time when she was completely helpless, unable to see or to move. She is going to tell you herself how these words awakened her to God's all-power and how this brought her complete recovery. I'd like to introduce Mrs. Lois B. Estey of Geneva, New York. Mrs. Estey.

Mrs. Estey: Back in 1930, I was suffering from a large internal growth which had been pronounced incurable. Finally the last physician I had gone to informed me very gently that he could do no more for me, and when I questioned him, he said that I had only a year or possibly a year and a half in which to live.

We had recently moved to Buffalo, where I was not only sick and without hope, but also without friends. My husband and I were befriended by a couple who lived in the same apartment house, and they impressed us as being Christian in an unusually practical and helpful way. Their lives were so joyous, and they seemed to have a remedy within themselves for almost anything. So we began to question them about their religion and found they were Christian Scientists. So when my need became urgent, I decided to turn wholeheartedly to Christian Science myself. And we got a copy of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I really was having a hard time physically: my eyesight had gradually failed, and I finally became totally blind. Also I was completely paralyzed.
