Translations:Aimee Semple McPherson/11/en

Following the birth of her son, Aimee underwent a serious operation. She knew her choice was of either “going into the grave or out into the field with the gospel.” When she chose the latter, she was healed by Jesus and determined to preach. One night at 11 o’clock, she called for a taxi, packed her belongings, gathered her children under her arms, and left for her parents’ farm in Canada. She wired her husband: “I have tried to walk your way and failed. Won’t you come now and walk my way? I am sure we will be happy.” He joined her for a time but then returned to the business world, later divorcing her and remarrying.
