Healing of a man suffering from rheumatism

“The following day we were sent for by a gentleman who had been sick for some time with rheumatism. He desired us to administer to him. We asked if he had faith to be healed. He replied that he did not know whether he had or not. I then asked him if he believed that if the same power and priesthood that were on the earth in the days of the Savior and His Apostles were restored again, would the same blessings follow those who believed. He replied he certainly did. We told him that we held the same priesthood, and it had been conferred on us by those holding authority from God to administer in all the ordinances of the Gospel and if he desired we would administer to him. After kneeling and praying in turn, we laid our hands on him and rebuked the disease in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The following day he was able to be out in the garden, and four weeks later I met him with his dinner bucket three miles from home, going to work, having regained his usual health.”
