Healing of Charles Riggs from Consumption

“I arrived at Monticello May 7, and together with Thomas Briggs and J. W. Coons, we anointed him with oil and prayed over him, rebuking the disease in the name of the Lord, when he at once revived. The next morning I went over to see him, and found him sitting in an easy chair. He extended his hand and said, 'Brother Palmer, I am almost well enough to start for Utah, and will go as soon as I get a little strength.' In a few minutes the doctor entered. He stood still with wonderment, and could scarcely move his eyes from the pale face of the boy, who spoke with a loud, clear voice, a thing he had not done for weeks until that morning, 'Doctor, I am well, and your medicine did not do it either.' 'I know it did not,' replied the puzzled doctor; 'what in the name of common sense has brought this sudden change? I expected as much to see you laid out this morning as to find any life in you.' 'Our Elders arrived last night and administered to me, and the Lord has raised me up,' said the boy. 'Well, I know no man could do it; God alone has done it, and we will give Him the glory, for it is as one raised from the dead,' said the doctor.”
