Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 37: July 15, 1902
All eyes were fastened upon the speaker, and the very stillness of death seemed to rest upon the entire assem bly as those wonderful words of proph' ecy and warning fell upon their ears. I thought of the little sick boy I had been to see a short time before. There happened to be a little girl in the hall, sister to the father of the sick child, and as soon as Elder Kelsey ceased speak ing I sprang from my seat and hastened to find her, and almost carried her from the building to the street, put her on a buss (omnibus) that passed near where her brother lived, and said to her, Sarah, when you get off this buss, don't take time to walk, but run your very best to your brother's house, and if little John is still alive, tell his father from me to make haste and send for some of the Elders of the Church, and his child will be healed and live.
Little Sarah faithfully delivered the message, the Elders anointed the boy with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith saved the child, and the Lord raised him up, and he lived to become a man. The people returned to their homes with the spirit of the blessing in their hearts, and laid hold with much joy and faith in the word of the Lord and in the principles of the everlasting Gospel, so that their sick were made well, the blind received their sight, the deaf their hearing again, the dumb spake, and the lame leaped for joy and praised the Lord, and evil spirits were cast out, for the powers of darkness were present also.
