An unnamed woman who had been an invalid confined to her home for seventeen years traveled twelve miles to Belfast to be baptized. Following the ordinance, she was able to attend all three church meetings the following day and returned home alone on foot the next day, feeling fine.
In Their Own Words
“One of the converts that was baptized on Saturday evening had been an invalid, confined in her home for seventeen years. She came twelve miles to have the ordinance administered to her, attended the three meetings on Sunday, and returned home alone on Monday, feeling fine. — Millennial Star 70:40”
