A testimony of my first healing through the ministrations of Christian Science was published years ago in the Christian Science Sentinel. It described my restoration to complete health in 1949 after twelve years of incapacity resulting from pulmonary tuberculosis. The transformation was such that I have since enjoyed many years of competitive sport, as well as normal business and social activities.
So many healing incidents have taken place in my experience through my continued study of Christian Science that my gratitude must again be publicly expressed to God for His infinite goodness.
About the mid-fifties, I was riding my motorcycle home from the tennis club, when I collided with a learner motorcyclist who, carrying a pillion rider, came out of a secondary road. I shot over the handlebars, scraping my legs as I was flung from the machine and rubbing off my fingertips as I landed, hands first, on the roadway. I was probably unconscious for a few seconds, for when I looked up, quite a large crowd had gathered and a doctor had stopped to give assistance. On seeing my hands he said I would have to be given an anti-tetanus injection, and he insisted on driving me and the other two involved to the nearest hospital. I thought it best to make no objections with so many spectators about, so we all got into the doctor's car.
