We returned home from this tour just before a great fall of rain which carried off the snow. This storm prevented the next Sabbath meeting, and I immediately commenced to prepare matter for Testimony No. 14. We also had the privilege of caring for our dear Brother King, whom we brought to our home with a terrible injury upon the head and face. We took him to our house to die, for we could not think it possible for one with the skull so terribly broken in to recover. But with the blessing of God upon a very gentle use of water, a very spare diet till the danger of fever was past, and well-ventilated rooms day and night, in three weeks he was able to return to his home and attend to his farming interests. He did not take one grain of medicine from first to last. Although he was considerably reduced by loss of blood from his wounds and by spare diet, yet when he could take a more liberal amount of food he came up rapidly. {2T 18.1}

Vi vendte hjem fra den tur lige før et stort regnfald som fjernede sneen. Dette uvejr forhindrede det næste sabbatsmøde og jeg begyndte straks at forberede tingene for Vidnesbyrd nr. 14. Vi havde også det privilegium at tage os af vor kære bror King, som vi bragte til vort hjem med en frygtelig skade i hoved og ansigt. Vi tog ham til vort hjem så han kunne dø, for vi tænkte at det ikke var muligt for et kranie, brudt så frygteligt, at det kunne helbredes. Men med Guds velsignelse på en meget nænsom brug af vand, en meget mager kost til feberfaren var forbi og velventilerede lokaler dag og nat, var han efter tre uger i stand til at vende hjem igen og gå i gang med hans landbrug. Han tog ikke et gran medicin fra først til sidst. Selvom han var betydelig svækket af blodtab fra hans sår og af mager kost, kunne han alligevel tage større mængder mad og komme hurtigt op igen.
