In Their Own Words
“President Dunn and I were requested to attend to the ordinances of anointing with oil and laying on of hands by brother Jackson, who had sore eyes; he had lost the sight of one eye completely, and the other was dangerously affected, but after we had attended to the prayer his sight was restored immediately, and the same hour he walked through the town looking about him. — Millennial Star 11:17”
