While I fought the controls and tried to get the engine going. I saw all the good and bad-things I had ever done, and most of them were bad. Then I began to pray.

“Oh, God." I said. "help me get out of this."

As a last desperate act, I throw; my weight to the left-hand side over the coclcpit and jammed the, controls, then jammed the engine; wide open. The thing suddenly’ sputtered and vibrated violently,‘ and sailed away on her one good wing for France. I held it that way ‘ all the way home.

as I headed for France on onet wing, that there had to be some- thing Else. I had seen others die

than I. I knew there was a Power. I am not such an egoist as because I am I. I believe there is

pact at all.

On a rainy night in Fe-brua.r.\’, 1941. I had the worst accident of my life. As I look back on agonizing days in the hospital,

it all. It was a test and prepara- tion for what was to follow.

In the four months I lay in that hospital I did more thinking about life and death than I had ever done before. Twenty-one months later. I was adrift in an open lifeboat with seven other starving men. molt of them so young they need- ed the strength and understanding of a man who had been down in the valley of the shadow, who had suf- fered and made sense out of his suffering. To those men I was able lb bring the essence of the religion and philosophy I had distilled in the hospital.

Easy To Die

Once I almost died from a throat hemmorhalze.

"Here." I said, "is death."

It dawned upon me in a flash that the easiest thing in the world is to die; the hardest is to live. Dy- in; was a sensuous pleasure; liv- ing was a grim task. In that mom- ent I chose to live. I knew from experience that abandonment to death was a sin. I was quitting. I had work to do. others to serve.

Many things came to me. I real- ized ! wasn't afraid to die. be- cause I have lived so much in good ways and bad that I no long- er feel the youthful pang of not having lived at all. I knew only the sorrow oi‘ being unable any more to help other people. And when I finally came around. I saw life and death and the meaning of the Golden Rule more clearly than I had ever known.

Never Lost Faith

I took that clarity with me to the rubber raft in the south Pacific after our plane crashed. I shall

recount that story again. I merely want to tell you the mean-
