C. E. K.

At a time when death seemed to be confronting me, I finally mastered fear and faced it. I realized that death had no power over my spiritual individuality, it had no power over one iota of good, or any part of me which proceeded from God. All it could possibly kill was error or evil, and I was willing that should die, and the sooner the better. Then I thought, Let me see what death claims? It does not claim any life, it does not claim mind, it does not claim action, nor power. It is lifeless, mindless, powerless, it does not claim anything for itself, then why should I fear that which is not anything? This proved to me what a delusion it is, and with this all suggestions of death passed away.

About six months after this experience I was called to my mother's home where she lay unconscious from the effects of cholera. The muscles were set, and the manifestation of death was so pronounced that I had to go into another room to work. Fear was intense, and all I tried to do was to silence the material senses. It was through the realization of "stationary power, stillness, and strength" (Retrospection and Introspection, p. 117), and the truth found in 2 Chronicles, 20, that this demonstration was made. The following morning a great sense of weakness was manifested, so that she was unable to be about. The thought then came that it does not take time to gain strength, it is omnipresent, it is here and now, and has never been lost. The next day she took a trip of eight miles to the country.

Several months after this, I found my husband in an almost unconscious condition from heart failure. He seemed to be sinking fast; I tried to give him a drink but he could not swallow it. I stayed right in the room declaring the truth, and soon the color began coming into his face, and within a half hour he was well and able to walk upstairs. The next morning he felt as well as ever.
