Healed Through Prayer and Anointing
Sister Laura R. Hall writes from Perrysburg, Ohio: “I want to say a few words through the Review for the encouragement of others who may be afflicted as I have been. The Lord laid heavily his afflicting hand upon me until I was near the grave, and I saw that all earthly aid had failed. It was then I saw that I was not prepared to die, although the grim monster stared me in the face. I could not think of leaving this world unprepared; for as the tree falls so it must lie. I then requested my parents to lay my case before the church at Lovett's Grove. They did so, and one Sabbath after meeting several of the brethren and sisters came in and prayed over me, anointing me with oil in the name of the Lord, according to the apostle's direction; and while they were praying the pain left me, and I was made happy in the Saviour. For the first time I could exclaim, Glory to God! In a few days I was able to do my work. Praise the Lord's holy name for his wonderful works to the children of men! I am determined to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
