In the Faith-Promoting Series, a remarkable resurrection miracle was documented. When Elder Lorenzo Snow and companions attempted to go ashore in a boat at the Sandwich Islands, the boat capsized in the surf. Lorenzo Snow was lost under the boat for over an hour, appearing to be drowned. After extensive efforts to resuscitate him, he was miraculously restored to life. This extraordinary deliverance demonstrated divine power over death and the importance of faith and persistence in administering to the afflicted.
