Elder Mitchell's Daughter Elizabeth, Breathless and Pulseless From Measles, Revives When He Commands Her to Arise in the Name of Jesus at Sheffield (1848)

“About twelve months ago, my youngest daughter, Elizabeth, was ill of the measles, and they came out pretty well, and we thought she would soon recover; I placed a table by the bedside and retired to bed as usual, and went to sleep. About one or two o'clock we were awakened up, by the table being thrown over, when I instantly jumped out of bed, set the table on its legs, then found the matches as soon as I could to get a light, and, behold! to our astonishment, the child was dead to all appearence, for she was stretched out, eyes set, her face very much discoloured, as well as other parts of the body, and all the measels had entirely gone in; my wife said she is dead; I told her to be still, for I was enabled by the Spirit to possess myself; I examined her carefully, to see if the spirit had left the body; and when I found that she did not breathe, and that there was no motion of the pulse, nor move in the juggler vein, I laid my hands on her, and, in the name of Jesus, commanded her to arise and come to herself, but no movement whatever, I had faith still in the ordinance, and I knew that faith must have its opportunity, I laid hands on again in the name of the Spirit, and the child gasped a few times, then she returned to her natural color, and was in a few minutes one of the most lovely little girls that ever I saw, for the measels were expelled from her system too. — Millennial Star 11:14”
