I should like to express my gratitude for all the blessings I have received through the study of Christian Science.
While participating in athletics several years ago, I suffered a very serious injury to my right leg. All efforts to correct this condition by medical means failed, and I was informed that immediate surgery would be required if I was to have full use of the leg and walk correctly. At this time I knew nothing of Christian Science; so I consented to the operation because I had high hopes of participating in college athletics and then pursuing a career as a professional athlete after graduation.
The operation did not correct the condition. In fact I had more difficulty with the leg and had a great deal of pain. I became very much depressed and spent a lot of time indulging in self-pity. During this time I had a very serious internal difficulty and was informed by a physician that I was fortunate to be among the living. This condition held me in bondage for five years.
