On coming to the office the next day the doctor said, "I have good news for
you, Reverend, you have no cancer." I asked him, "When did you lie to me,
yesterday or today?" He said, "Neither, the picture clearly shows cancer.
They forgot to take your food test so you had to go back to the hospital to
have it taken and in the food test there was no cancer." The doctor asked,
"What did you do, once a cancer but none now?" I said, "I did like a little
story we ministers have about a little boy and his sister. They were out
playing, and at eleven o'clock Mary was hungry and went in to ask mother
for a slice of bread, but mother said, it is soon time for lunch, go out
and play now, until lunch is ready. Then Freddy went in and asked for bread
and he came out with a slice of bread with butter on it. Then Mary said,
'What did you do to get it?' 'I cried for it,' answered Freddy," so did I.
The Lord made them forget to take the food test at first in order to verify
the miracle.

One day I was plowing, since I had asked the boys to let me plow for the
exercise it gave me. It was about ten o'clock in the morning and I had
stopped and gotten off the gang plow to let the horses rest and stood
looking south in the field when I saw six or eight feet before me dear
Brother A. G. Ahrendt standing and smiling at me, just as real as if he
were there in the flesh. "Brother Ahrendt is leaving Grand Forks by my
orders," the Lord said to me. "If by your orders he is leaving there,
amen," I replied. I then turned to get on the plow when on the other side
of the plow there stood a lady minister and the Lord said, "Some are
contemplating getting her as the pastor and that will be the ruination of
the work in Grand Forks." (Not because there was anything wrong with her as
a minister but because she would not fit in the place). The vision
disappeared and I went to plowing.
Two or three days later I became so burdened about Grand Forks that I was
almost sick, so I wrote to Brother Ahrendt and asked if anything was wrong
or anyone sick, for I was so burdened. I expected an answer right away, but
didn't get it, so wrote again and still no answer. The next week I wrote
for the third time telling them that I was going through Grand Forks on my
way to Raab for a meeting, and would be in Grand Forks and they could
arrange a meeting for me over Friday night, Saturday and Sunday if he
wanted me. Then a letter came from Sister Ahrendt saying her husband was
away and that they were leaving Grand Forks.
