One time I received a distress call from Geo. W. Green and family who were
living that time on a farm near Hancock, Minnesota, to come and pray for a
sick child. They were living six or seven miles out of town, and no one was
there to meet me, so I had to get the taxi to take me out. I arrived late
in the evening. Going into the house, I learned the child was already dead.
All the occupants of the house, both up and down stairs, were sick in bed
with the flu, thirteen in all. Sister Green was the only one able to get
out of bed to let me in. I had no way to get back to town, but as we were
talking and praying, a doctor happened along and stopped and came in and
asked Sister Green to make him a strong cup of coffee and sandwich. He
said, "This is the third night since I was in bed, and I need something to
strengthen me." He filled out a burial permit for the child so it could be
buried. And he said, "You can't stay here tonight." I told him I had no way
to get back to town, so he offered to take me. I went and the next day I
returned with the undertaker. The road to the cemetery went through the
town, but the leading lady, a social worker (I presume) forbad us taking
the body through town. So we had to detour several miles out of our way. An
epidemic of flu broke out in the town and I am told that this lady was the
first one to die with it. At the Green home the Lord restored the entire
thirteen to health, and protected me. Throughout the years I have been
protected from all manner of contagious diseases where I have been called
to pray.
