pray on the floor so I suggested we should do the same. One of the students in his respect for me took of his jacket and placed it on the floor for me to kneel on and as I kneeled down they all kneeled down behind me as I lead them in prayer. I prayed to the effect after thanks giving my God and Father would open the eyes to the truth to what I had spoken to them about. Afterwards I was informed this had never happened before they had never prayed or had a Christian pray for them. I did not see any results from that time but they held me with respect and were always curious to me. I had met a Muslim missionary called Paul? At the time connected with Spicer Street Independent Church in St Albans and asked him to come with me to their Friday night religious instruction classes.

I could understand concepts and problem solving was no problem to me but the ability communicate with the written word was virtually impossible for me. How I got though teacher training college I do not know. I often thought they must have been hard up for students at the time. I can how ever remember the Head of Technical Studies calling me to his office saying he was worried about my written work. He arranged for me to have remedial help.
