In Their Own Words
“We had a neighbor who was troubled with a disease in the eyes, and was nearly blind, and had tried the skill of physicians, and the night previous to having hands laid on her, her friends thought she would not survive until morning—she was immediately restored by the laying on of hands by Elder Knight in the name of Jesus Christ. — Times and Seasons 2:20”
