At the end of the First World War...

At the end of the First World War, I was discharged from the Royal Air Force with a disability pension and told that I would always be lame. This was the result of a flying accident in which I had sustained a badly broken thighbone. Two major operations had been performed, and I shall always be grateful to the surgeon and to the nursing staff of the hospital for their kindness and very practical help.

About two years after the war, I was told that I could be healed in the same way as the people who were healed by Christ Jesus, if I would study the King James Version of the Bible in conjunction with "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. At first I thought this to be incredible, and I would not listen.

A little later, however, when I was tired of being lame and was reaching out for something, I knew not what, my wife and I decided to attend the services at a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, in the town in which we lived. This was the start of a new life for both of us. When we attended these services, we found happy, grateful people there who gave us a warm welcome and assured us that we had found the true way of Life.
