Son Charles Miraculously Healed of Brain Fever Through Priesthood Blessing

One of Wandle Mace's children was afflicted with brain fever in its final stage, and the physicians had given up hope, declaring the case hopeless. Wandle Mace, a faithful member of the Church, requested that Parley P. Pratt come and administer a priesthood blessing to the child. Parley P. Pratt came and gave the boy a blessing through the power of the priesthood. Immediately following the blessing, the child was healed of the disease. This was a remarkable manifestation of the power of God and the priesthood, demonstrating that through faith and priesthood authority, even when medical science had given up, the Lord could intervene and restore health. Wandle Mace recorded in his autobiography: 'Oh, what joy swelled our hearts as we gazed upon the child so miraculously healed.'
