Healing of Elmo Cluff's Broken Shoulder

“I got up went into the children’s room and said to Harvey, ‘I don’t want you to oppose me in what I am about to do, for I believe God will be with me, and all of you children will receive a testimony of His power that you will never forget. Get up and go and bring three of the elders here to administer to Elmo.’ It was daylight then, and was five o’clock when the elders came in. I told them all about it, and how I felt about the matter. That I wanted to take off the bandages but wanted their firm assistance to strengthen me and my faith. They seemed willing if that was my feeling, and I thereupon took scissors, and cut off all the bandages. The poor neck and shoulder were terribly swollen, and the elders anointed it with oil and administered to the child. I felt a calm peace settle over me, and I knew that the Lord had heard our prayers. The child went to sleep, and when he awoke, he was able to move his arm, and the swelling had gone down. In a few days he was out playing with the other children, and he has never had any trouble with his shoulder since.”
