Caring for the Sick . 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 Seneca 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. {LS 185.3}

Omsorg for syge
Vi tog hjem igen fra denne tur lige før et stort regnskyl, som havde sne med sig. Denne storm forhindrede det næste sabbatsmøde, og jeg begyndte straks at forberede materialet for vidnesbyrd nr. 14. Vi havde også privilegiet at sørge for vor kære bror Seneca King, som vi bragte til vort hjem, med en frygtelig skade på hoved og ansigt. Vi tog ham til vort hus for at dø, for vi kunne ikke tro at det var muligt at komme sig med et så frygteligt brud i hjerneskallen. Men med Guds velsignelse over meget nænsom brug af vand, en meget sparsom kost, indtil feberfaren var ovre, og vel ventilerede lokaler dag og nat, var han efter tre uger i stand til at komme hjem igen og deltage i sine families forsørgelse. Han tog ikke noget medicin fra først til (186) til sidst. Selvom han var reduceret anseligt på grund af blodtab, fra hans sår, og ved en sparsom kost, kunne han alligevel tage en god mængde føde til sig og komme sig hurtigt.
