“In the year
1830, in the town of Shelby, Orleans county N.Y., a woman of middle age lay
very sick for a time under the doctor’s care without any benefit and
pronounced by all as incurable As I was praying one morning in church,
without thinking of the case, there came a voice to me from some source which
was as distinct as a man could speak, saying: ‘Go, and pray with and for that
woman.’ I went to her home the next week, and tried to make her comfortable.
She was apparently in a dreamy state. I left the house without prayer, and
thought no more of it, until a day or two after, when father and I went to
the same place on business. She saw me and beckoned me to come to her, and I
did so. She whispered to me, asking why I did not pray for her the other day,
and added: “Something told me thee came to pray for me,’ (she was a Quaker.)
I told her I was sent to do so, but diffidence and timidity prevented at that
time. I felt no call to pray then but a day or two after, while I was alone
and going by the place, without thought on the subject, the words came to me
again, as plain as man could speak them: ‘Go, and pray for that woman’. I
went in, and called the family together and while we engaged in prayer, an
invisible power was felt by all in the house, and that woman was healed at
once, and was well.” |
