In Their Own Words
“A case of miraculous healing through the administration of the holy priesthood is reported by Elder Lester Stevenson, who is now laboring as a missionary in the Southern States of America. He, writing from Live Oak, says: 'We were called to administer to a man who was apparently lifeless. We laid our hands upon him with full faith in the power of the Lord to heal, and he was restored to life.' — Millennial Star 58:46”
