A child of Sister Elizabeth on board the ship Juventa appeared to be incurable and lifeless. Upon being administered to by the Elders, the child was instantly restored and began to gain strength.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 17, No. 24, 16 June 1855, p. 378):
A child of Sister Elizabeth, on board the Juventa, appeared to be incurable and lifeless; but upon being administered to by the Elders, it was instantly restored, and began to gain strength.
In Their Own Words
“Another is the case of a child of sister Elizabeth, considered incurable, it being to all appearance lifeless. When we administered the ordinance to it, it instantly was restored, and it gained strength from that time. — Millennial Star 17:24”
