Helen Mar Kimball's Brother Healed of Severe Burn Through Priesthood Oil Administration

Helen Mar Kimball Whitney documented a remarkable healing of her young brother through the priesthood power and faith. She recorded: 'While we were living with them in Quincy, when I was about ten years of age, I had a severe attack of fever, and a heavy storm coming on, the weather was quite cold, and not having a fireplace in the room, mother placed a kettle of live coals in the center of the apartment. Just as she stepped out into the other room, my little brother aged about four years came in and accidentally fell into the kettle and burned him badly. My little brother cried for her to anoint him with the consecrated oil. She immediately administered it, and was silently praying, when he cried, Pray loud. She obeyed him and in a few minutes he was sound asleep. He never cried from the burn after the oil was administered and it was healed from that moment.' This remarkable healing demonstrated the power of consecrated oil and the faith of a believing mother and child.
