Shortly after my return to Anamosa, Iowa, I was called to see a patient thought to be dying. The children and friends were standing around to see him breathe his last. "I am nearly gone, Mrs. Philbrick. I can't stand it much longer." In a few moments he rose and sat upright. "Take this chair," I said. "No, I can sit here just as well." He was on a lounge without a back; but he sat there as if nothing had happened, talking with me about two or three of his neighbors, who had been wonderfully healed, after the physicians said it was impossible. His face was full of joy and love. Before I left he ate a bowl of oatmeal and cream with a relish. I was not in the house over twenty minutes, but long enough to demonstrate the truth of the beautiful lessons you have taught me.
