In August, 1894, I was brought home to die

C. A. W. BERGER

In August, 1894, I was brought home to die. My first physician after having prescribed for me four days said if I failed as fast for the week to come as I had the past, I would be no more.

When brought home, our family physician was called, took my case, and did all he could for my recovery. He prescribed for me from August, 1894, until March, 1895, but I received no benefit. The doctor said, "If you have any business, you had better attend to it; to-day you are here, to-morrow you may not be, life is uncertain and death is certain." I told him that since there no help for me, and as my expenses were great, I would not take any more medicine.

Before I should pass away, I wished to see my sister. The message was sent and she replied that she wished me to see a friend of hers. I was unconscious when the letter came, but it was answered, and in a short time word came from one of Mrs. Eddy's students, saying that she would commence treatment and would come the following Monday. She was so quiet and peaceful that although a stranger, she did not excite me in the least. I felt restful in her presence. She talked with me and read a little in Science and Health. At this time, I could not lie down. I had not been able to feed myself for some time, and could not walk without help. When tea was ready my sister invited me to take tea with them. I felt very much hurt as she knew my circumstances. The practitioner said, "You can walk." I thought, "You do not know so well as I." Assistance was offered. "No;" she said, "she does not need help." The invitation was given the third time Again the Scientist kindly but firmly assured me that I could walk. I looked at her and without help I arose and went with them to tea When the food was passed I felt more hurt than before. They knew I could not eat, but my practitioner talked with me and enabled me to realize that God made everything that was made, and He finished His work and called it good, and so food could not hurt me. Since that time I have eaten whatever I wanted and it has not hurt me.
