Joseph Silver testifies that he was healed of a near-death illness through the administration of the Priesthood.
In Their Own Words
“My testimony is, to-day, the same as it has been, that “ Mormonism” (so called by this world) is the true ism. By its seal through the administrations of its Priesthood, I have been healed, when to all human appearance my spirit must within a few moments have made its exit from mortality. — Millennial Star 23:14”
