As a teen-ager away at boarding school, I played on the school basketball team. During the action of one game I was thrown against a radiator and badly injured. When the family physician examined me a short time later, he said I must be operated on as soon as possible. So, this was done.

After some weeks in the hospital I was visited one morning by the doctor, who said that he felt it only fair to tell me I would never be a well or active person, and that I would never be able to have a family. This came as a terrible shock to me, as I had often thought of having a happy home and family of my own.

Not long before this my mother had had an impressive healing through prayer in Christian Science. Now she urged me to turn to God, as the doctors had predicted I would never fully recover.
