In Their Own Words
“He further testifies that by an accident his own wrist was put out of place, and he was obliged to stop work, but a servant of God laid hands upon him, as Jesus directed, (see Mark xvi., 18.) and his wrist “ was restored to its former strength that moment.” — Millennial Star 11:10”
