In Their Own Words
“On Saturday, October 24th, 1908, I was taken with a severe pain in my side during the afternoon and it increased until it became almost unendurable. Being alone, I got on my knees and prayed to the Lord to help me and if it were His will to heal me. The pain left me almost immediately. I feel it is my duty to bear this testimony to the power of God, as I know He hears and answers the prayers of His children.”
