During
their next venture in Hong Kong,
the trials continued as they had before. A son was born to them, delivered by
cesarean section, who weighed only 3 pounds. Rarely did an infant so
premature live during those times. To complicate matters, the baby was unable
to keep any milk on his stomach. Having already buried two daughters in Hong
Kong, Alfred's heart sank, but his faith once
again endured. He cried out to the Lord for help and the Lord quickly
answered, speaking these words by His Spirit: "Feed the child Eagle
Brand evaporated milk." This was perhaps, a simple word from God, but by
no means was it a simple task to obtain this product in Hong
Kong. Dr. Garr immediately began to scour the city
for the milk. Having searched all over Hong Kong,
he finally entered a native store and asked the Chinese owner if he carried
this type of milk. The owner answered that he had some kind of milk, but was
unsure what kind it was. In fact, he said that he had not ordered the
product, and did not know what to do with it. When the owner found the
mysterious product which he had received by mistake, it was indeed the Eagle
Brand evaporated milk. Alfred bought the entire case from the owner, his
heart leaping with gratitude to God. His newborn son immediately took the
milk and his life was spared.
