RADIO PROGRAM No. 302 - A New Purpose Gained—A Home Strengthened

with contributions from Polly Roberts

Speaker: At first our guest and her family felt they had no real purpose or direction in their lives. There had been much inharmony and illness. But all this changed when a new understanding of God brought a fresh purpose to their home. Mrs. Polly Roberts, of Bronxville, New York, has kindly agreed to tell us about the whole experience.

Mrs. Roberts: After our marriage, our social life consisted mostly of parties devoted to gossiping and drinking. I knew that such a way of life leads to instability and a general relaxing of orderly living, and I did not want such a way of life for my children. But I didn't have the courage or understanding to know what to do about it.

I was beset by other problems. Our two children were frequently ill, and I was tense and fearful concerning their welfare. I longed to be a good mother, but didn't know how. Housework seemed tedious and never-ending—nothing but drudgery. And as a result of this whole situation, I felt mentally stagnant. I prayed for wisdom in the only way I knew, and it's wonderful to me how completely my prayers were answered.
