Healing of Sister Chalder in Sunderland

“On my return in company with some members of the Church we passed by an aged sister's home. After we had passed the house I said to those with me: I feel like I should have called in to see Sister Chalder, but we have not time. We continued on some distance when I again felt impressed more strongly than before to return. I turned to the men with me and said We must go back. We turned and did so. On entering we found Sister Chalder lying in bed and very sick indeed; in fact those present thought her time had come, as she is far past the appointed lease of life. When she recognized us her countenance brightened and she endeavored to speak to us. Her voice was weak, but we understood what she said. Glad to have you come, she repeated; I have been praying to God that you might come, that I might be healed. Those present with the old lady did not believe as we do. The gentleman, whose name was Woodruff, said I do not believe in elders laying on hands for the healing of the sick. I told him to remain and see whether God would fulfill the promise wherein He said by the mouth of His Apostle James... After the administration Sister Chalder raised up and said she was well. Mr. Woodruff said This is my first time to see anything like that. He was as white as a corpse. To-day he is a living testimony that she was healed. So did all present say they knew it was the power of God made manifest.”
