Instantaneous healing of Pearl Whitelock

Pearl Whitelock, daughter of J. A. and Amanda Whitelock, was dying from a violent illness in Philadelphia. After her father telegraphed the St. George Temple requesting prayer, the child was instantly healed and recovered her health overnight.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in M. F. Farnsworth, “Temple Manifestations,” The Contributor 16, no. 1 (November 1894): 64.):

Among the many remarkable healings in answer to prayer is the following: Professor J. A. Whitelock had been employed in the Central School in St. George. After fulfilling his engagement, himself and wife, Amanda, returned to their former home in Philadelphia. While there their little child Pearl became violently ill and wasted away to a mere skeleton. She was given up to die by eminent physicians there, as well as by all the friends. Brother Whitelock telegraphed us to pray for her in the St. George Temple, which was done, and the child was instantly healed. In a most remarkable manner the flesh returned upon her bones, so that in the morning those who saw her, beheld a healthy, hearty, lovely child. They wrote a lengthy letter of the particulars of this healing, which letter was read to the company in the Temple, and also to the congregation in the Tabernacle in St. George the following Sabbath.
