Mr. James Gregson was miraculously healed at Leeds in April 1927. The great crowds who witnessed the miracle will long remember the day of his sudden recovery. He was an absolute cripple, whose only power of locomotion was painfully to propel himself along the ground dragging his twisted legs behind him.
I was an iron-maker by trade. On February 2,1922 I met with a serious accident. I fell from a height into a coal-box, every bone being shifted out of place. My spine was also injured. I was taken to the hospital, where I received every treatment that the hospital could supply, but I became a helpless, hopeless cripple. I had to creep along the ground; my legs were twisted and I dragged them along in a crossed position. I could not sit, but had to lie. My life was a misery. My wife on the Wednesday evening read in the paper an account of a woman who was blind receiving her sight in Principal George
Jeffreys’ campaign meetings. As she read, I was convinced that I could be healed if only I could go to the meeting. I went on the Saturday on my crutches, dragging my legs behind. That night I was saved: He forgave all my iniquities. I then went again on the Sunday to the Coliseum. God alone knows how I got there, and when I got there I had a great struggle to get in, but some of the people took pity on me and dragged me round
to the back. Then the attendants carried me in and laid me in front of the platform.
One of the revival party came to me and said “Brother, you don’t look comfortable; can I make you more comfortable? ” and I answered, “I am never comfortable” for I was in pain night and day. The Principal prayed me for, and when he laid his hands upon me I felt as if a dozen hands were placed all over my body and I felt every bone going back into place. I was instantly released and I was completely healed. I was only skin and bone; my eyes were sunk in my head. Inside two weeks I had gained two stone five pounds, and I continued to put on flesh. I was able to go back to my work as strong as ever. I have never lost a day’s work since through ill health. Hallelujah! To God be all the glory! Praise the Lord!”
