When the little clinic was just about finished, the missionaries tried to explain how they hoped the Indians would come when they were ill so the missionaries could try to help them.
One day the brother of the Chief of the tribe stood at the door of their little home. He explained that his wife was experiencing great difficulty giving birth to their second child. He feared she would die. Would the missionary let his wife come to help with the birth of the child?
The missionaries felt this was indeed of the Lord. They prayed together about it, and then the Indian returned to his wife. Rose prepared a bag of equipment she thought she might need, before heading across the field to the place where the Indian had said their but was located. The missionary went back into the house after Rose's departure. Kneeling down he committed his dear one to the Lord's care and guidance.
He was still on his knees when he heard someone calling, "Senor, come behold it, quickly!" He ran out to find a couple of Indians pointing very excitedly to the fields where just a little while before his beloved one had crossed. He could see her in the distance returning. Between them and her in the field was a bull quietly feeding. The Indians were distraught as they warned, "Behold it, she will be killed, that is the wildest bull ever seen in this district! It came down from the hills with the cows and we are not able to go near him." The Under-Chief had also come down. He was holding his head, crying, "What shall we do? She is going to pass close to the bull! He will kill her!"
The missionary calmly replied, "We must be quiet and not alarm the bull in any way. We must commit my wife to God. He will take care of her." He bowed his head and prayed. The Indians all took off their hats while he did so. When they looked up, Rose was already passing right in front of the bull, and the bull didn't even lift up his head!
As Rose came nearer to them she could hear the Indians saying very excitedly, "Caika!" (Behold it!) The missionary went out to meet his wife and embraced her lovingly, with tears in his eyes, while the Indians looked on.
Looking at them in bewilderment she asked, "Honey, what's all the excitement about?" He explained how they were all concerned for her safety, as she had just passed the wildest bull they had ever seen. "Why!" she exclaimed, "he was so tame he didn't even look at me. I wasn't afraid of him!"
Surely the Lord had fulfilled His promise in Psa. 34:77The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (Psalm 34:7) once again: "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them."
