In 1923 I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in mechanical engineering. I then entered a family-owned medical publishing business of which, many years later, I became the president (a position I held until my retirement in 1972).

Given my background, it might seem unlikely that I would become a Christian Scientist, but six years ago that is exactly what happened.

At that time, during the course of a business trip, I suddenly lost all strength in my left leg. Only with the greatest difficulty was I able to return home. An X-ray taken on the following day showed water on the knee, and medical attention was prescribed. Being unwilling to have my knee subjected to such treatment, I asked a Christian Science practitioner if she would pray for me. (My daughter had joined The Mother Church a year previously, and I had learned of Christian Science through her.) The practitioner agreed to help me, and the knee trouble was completely healed within a day.
