Word From Sister E. G. White
My last report regarding mother's experience was written April 28. After that she was very feeble for three days, at times hardly able to frame a complete sentence. Then for four days she gained strength a little each day, and for the following five days seemed almost as strong as a month ago. NPUGleaner May 13, 1915, par. 1
Last night she rested better than usual, but she looked very frail this morning when lifted from the bed to her reclining chair in the bay window. NPUGleaner May 13, 1915, par. 2
Tuesday afternoon brother C. H. Jones, of the Pacific Press, called to see her. She was lying in the big bay window. When brother Jones asked if she knew him, she said, “I know you, and I am very glad to see you.” after he had spoken of his interest and sympathy for her, and of the prayers offered for her by friends in mountain view, she said: NPUGleaner May 13, 1915, par. 3
