The Wellington dairyman who left his crutches
Direct Answer A dairyman at the Wellington Town Hall meetings in June 1922 said he had been using crutches after losing mobility in both legs. He reported that after being anointed and prayed for, he handed his crutches to Wigglesworth and walked home. Wigglesworth passed along this testimony in his report on the New Zealand campaign. Contemporary newspaper coverage documents the Town Hall meetings and the public response.
