The next morning the physician came, and as he entered, said, “I told my wife about one o’clock this morning that in all probability the young man was out of his trouble.” He was told that he was alive. The physician was surprised, and immediately ascended the stairs to his room. As he felt the pulse, he said: “Young man, you are better, the crisis is past; but it is not my skill that saved you, but a higher power. With good nursing you may get well.” He gained rapidly, and soon took his place in the Office, a converted man. {LS 146.1}

Den næste morgen kom lægen, og idet han kom ind sagde han: “Jeg fortalte min hustru omkring klokken et i nat at den unge mand sandsynligvis nu var ude af sine trængsler." Han fik at vide at han var i live. Lægen var overrasket, og gik straks til hans værelse oven på. Idet han mærkede pulsen, sagde han: "Unge mand, du har det bedre, krisen er forbi; men det er ikke min dygtighed som har reddet dig, men den højere kraft. Ved god pleje kan du få det godt." Han kom sig hurtigt, og tog snart sin plads på Kontoret, som et omvendt menneske.
