Two young ladies helped her to the station and her mother carried the
crutches. Two months after the camp meeting I went to Saint Paul Park and I
met this same young lady, Sister Davis, as she came walking along as spry
as any young lady. I said to her, "When did you get your healing and start
walking?" She answered, "When we got to Saint Paul I got up and walked home
and was well!"

Brother Emil Krutz and I were called to pray for Grandma Dahl who was ill
with double pneumonia. There were eight saints in the room and I heard one
ask another, "How old is Grandma?" The reply was, "Seventy-seven years
old," to which someone answered, "If I were that old I would not care to
get well."
We anointed and prayed for the sick woman but she showed no signs of life
or of getting any help. Brother Krutz looked at me and said, "The Lord
heard prayer." We went into another room and closed the door, Brother Krutz
said to me, "You go in there and send the folks out." We went back into the
room and asked visitors to kindly step out of the room; then locking the
door we again offered prayer. When we took our hands off this time the
sister sat up in bed and said, "Call my daughter, Mrs. Umden, and tell her
to bring me something to eat, I am so hungry." She was perfectly well and
lived several years longer.

For a year or more I was having pain in my liver. I was prayed for a number
of times but did not even get relief and my body kept swelling up until I
could hardly wear my clothes. The Ministry advised me to go to a specialist
and find out what the trouble was and said then if I were healed God would
get more glory out of it, so I went to the specialist.
The doctor said that it was not cancer, but worse still, it was enlargement
of the spleen. He then said, "Dear man, there is no remedy for your
trouble; I can only make a harness that you can wear suspended from your
shoulders to help support your stomach, which will be some relief."
When I got home I told wife what the doctor had said and that I had made my
last trip in the ministry. She looked at me and said, "No, you are not
going to die." "Well," I replied, "I have been in this world fifty-six
years and that is a long time, so if the Lord sees fit to take me I will be
satisfied." She went out of the room and when she returned I saw she was
crying and lifting her right hand' she said, "You are not going to die."
"How do you know," I asked? "The saints will not give you up," she
answered.
