Brother Green suffered from heart palpitation for six months and was healed after J. V. Lone administered to him. Later, after being crushed in an accident, he was healed of back pain by J. V. Lone and T. D. Brown.
Fuller account of this event (in the witness’s own words):
On the 22nd of January, 1849, I was called upon to administer to brother Green, who had been afflicted with palpitation of the heart for six months, and had been under the care of a physician, but found no relief. I anointed him with oil, and prayed for him, and the palpitation ceased immediately, and he has been free from it ever since. January 28th,—The same brother called for me to attend the ordinance again; he was suffering the most excruciating pains in the back, having been severely crushed by accident, and was unable to move without assistance. Elder T. D. Brown and myself administered to him, and we blessed him in the name of the Lord, and he immediately rose up and declared that he was free from pain, and walked about the room, and went to his work the next morning.
In Their Own Words
“On the 22nd of January, 1849, I was called upon to administer to brother Green, who had been afflicted with palpitation of the heart for six months... the palpitation ceased immediately... January 28th,—The same brother called for me to attend the ordinance again; he was suffering the most excruciating pains in the back, having been severely crushed by accident... we blessed him in the name of the Lord, and he immediately rose up and declared that he was free from pain. — Millennial Star 11:17”
