Healing of the Daughter of a Recent Convert in Bristol

“I am pleased to bear testimony that my daughter, who was suffering from a severe attack of quinsy, was entirely healed by the power of God through the agency of the Elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Bristol. The doctor who was attending her saw her on the afternoon of November 28th, 1898, and told me that quinsy had set in, and she would be very much worse before she got better. I could see by his manner that he considered it a serious case. In the evening of the same day, she became much worse, and, having recently become acquainted with the Latter-day Saints and been a regular attendant at their meetings for some weeks past, I spoke to one of the Elders about my daughter. He asked me if I would like to have my child administered to, telling me that the Lord was able and willing to heal her if I had faith. I said I believed they were God's ministers and that he would heal my child if they would lay hands on her. They held a cottage meeting in my house that evening, and before leaving they went upstairs and administered to her. She went to sleep shortly after, and when she awoke the next morning she was entirely free from pain, and the swelling had gone down. She was able to eat her breakfast, and has been quite well ever since. I thank God for this manifestation of His power, and for the testimony I have received of the truth of the Gospel as taught by the Latter-day Saints.”
