Brother Brown has had many evidences since his return from his mission
of the willingness of the Lord to hear and answer his own prayers
and the prayers of others in his behalf. As an instance, he mentions
that he was accidentally thrown from a street car on the evening of
January 30, 1913. He was unconscious when picked up, and taken to a
hospital, and remained so until 10 o'clock the next morning, when he
rallied. Upon examination, it was found that his nose had been broken,
three teeth knocked out, four ribs fractured and a rupture produced.
Three days afterwards, while suffering from internal hemorrhage and in
very great pain, he called for Brother William Newell to administer
to him. He felt a change occur while the hands of the Elder were upon
his head and testifies that it was by the power of God that he was
healed. His improvement from that time was rapid, and the readiness and
completeness of his recovery surprised his friends and the doctors who
knew the extent of his injuries.
Remarkable Patriarchal Blessing
DR. GLEDHILL'S WIFE OPERATED UPON REPEATEDLY FOR INTERNAL
TUMOR--BLESSED BY A PATRIARCH--PROMISED THAT SHE SHOULD RECOVER AND
GIVE BIRTH TO MORE CHILDREN--SCIENTIFIC OPINIONS UPSET BY FULFILLMENT
OF INSPIRED PROMISE.
When we read the many miracles in healing that we find recorded in
a few chapters in the Bible, one is apt to think that to-day these
things are not found among us so generally now as anciently, but
on more mature thought, one will discover that there are many more
manifestations of God's healing power to-day on record than in the Holy
Bible.
Being a physician, and dealing with that most sacred and miraculous
thing we call life, I often see the power of God made manifest through
his authorized servants, and I have personally taken part in this holy
ordinance of the administration with oil, where healing, and other
blessings have occurred.
Young people sometimes fail to appreciate the priesthood of God. They
little realize the power and blessing that may come through this
channel. It is with a heart full of gratitude for His Priesthood and
the blessings that have come to me and mine from this channel, and
with a prayer in my heart that faith may be kindled in the heart of
some reader, that I write the following narrative of what I consider a
modern miracle.
Mrs. Gledhill, my wife, had been ill for one and a half years; had been
to two hospitals including the L. D. S. Hospital of Salt Lake City,
and had been examined by five of the best doctors in the State of Utah
and their advice and treatment faithfully followed, but her symptoms
gradually grew worse. Three times a slight operation had been performed
with no improvement, and it was decided that a major operation would be
necessary.
