In Their Own Words

“Sister Jane Batty, was seized with Asiatic Cholera, in the month of August. When I was called to administer to her, she was taken with violent cramp, which was followed with great pain. I laid hands on her, and by the authority of the holy priesthood rebuked the disease in the name of Jesus Christ; the cramp and pain immediately left her, and she was restored to health and strength. — Millennial Star 11:21”
