Vision of the Healing of Mrs. Cory

“In the morning, before I arose, I had a vision, as follows: I saw a log house, and entered it through a door at the northwest corner; in the northeast corner lay a woman sick in bed; in the southeast corner was a small door opening into an adjoining room, and near it a stairway, where stood a ladder; the fireplace being in the south end. As I entered the house and laid my hands on the woman, she rose up and was made whole; the house being crowded, she took her seat near the fire and under the ladder, or near by it, and she praised God with a shout of glory, clapping her hands for joy and exclaimed: "Thank God, I'm every whit whole." I awoke, and the vision was so vivid that I could not doubt but that I was to go to that house and heal the woman. I arose, and after breakfast, I started in the direction indicated in the vision. I traveled on foot, and after walking some miles, I came to a house which I knew to be the one I had seen in the vision. I entered the door at the northwest corner, and there, in the northeast corner, lay the woman in bed, sick. The house, the door, the stairway, the ladder, the fireplace, all were exactly as I had seen them in the vision. I went to the bedside, and said to her, "I am a servant of God, and have come to heal you in the name of Jesus Christ." I laid my hands upon her, and she was made whole. She arose, and the house being crowded, she took her seat near the fire and under the ladder, and she praised God with a shout of glory, clapping her hands for joy, and exclaimed: "Thank God, I'm every whit whole." She then walked to the meeting, and testified to the people of her miraculous healing.”
