A patient, who had been healed of numerous beliefs, and whose husband—during her period of treatments—had been freed from a lifelong claim of rupture, was called to a not distant city, by a telegram from the attending physician, saying, "Your mother has Pneumonia, and cannot live. Come at once."
Knowing what Christian Science had done in her own home, her first thought was to take a Scientist with her, and resort to that help. But as she must catch the first train, she found there was no time to call any one. Then her cry for higher help was answered, when she was enabled to say, "God is with me, and is the only help. There is no death! and there is no power in error to frighten my sisters and the doctor into making any laws that will fasten this false claim of death upon my mother! She is free!" With these declarations of Truth she was peacefully sustained during the journey.
Upon her arrival, she found the friends grouped about the bed supporting the almost unconscious woman; who, when she saw her daughter, said: "I'm almost gone!" The reply was: "No you are not! God is your life, and you cannot die!" Then, begging all to leave them alone, the brave daughter met the grim monster. Declaring that God is Life, and is the only power, only presence, only help, within two hours her mother was quietly sleeping, breathing like a child; all appearance of the prolonged struggle for breath, during the past two days, disappearing during the night.
