At one time while I was pastor in Grand Forks, a young man came who had
been on crutches for four years. (He was partially paralyzed, and unable to
bear his weight on his limbs.) He came at the time of the State camp
meeting. He had written to Brother E. E. Byrum to come and pray for him,
and he was bringing the answer he had gotten from Brother Byrum which said,
"I haven't time to come and furthermore it is so far and expenses would be
so great and since the Dakota State Camp meeting convenes in a few days,
you might be able to get someone to take you down there. Brother Susag will
be there and he does the same kind of work that I do. He will pray with
you, and instruct you how to get saved and healed."
He came and went through the entire camp meeting without receiving the
faith he needed to get saved and healed, but he remained another day and I
had time to more thoroughly instruct him. He did get saved and was
perfectly healed.
A DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER HEALED
I was asked at one time to come to a certain city to preach for a certain
denomination for a couple of weeks, which I did. On coming I found that I
was to stay with a certain doctor who had a daughter five years old. One
afternoon she was sitting talking with me and I found her almost as smart
as a high school girl. Toward evening I said to her, "Honey, you are sick."
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'll be all right in the morning."
But she became seriously ill that evening, insomuch that the next day her
father sent for another doctor, a nurse and a lady to help. About three
o'clock the third morning the doctor came up into my room and made a
confession which he needed not to have made. Then he said, "I've come to my
wit's end; I know of no help for the child. But would you please pray for
her? But pray right away, as she may pass away any time." I began to pray
right away. I put on my clothes and ran down stairs, praying all the while.
When I got down stairs everything was quiet, and when the doctor met me, he
said, "Less than three minutes after you commenced to pray my daughter went
to sleep, and I believe when she wakes up she will be well." She slept
until four in the afternoon. When she awakened, she said, "I want to get up
and dress." The doctor said, "No, honey, you can't do that; you have been
awful sick. You will have to stay in bed and be quiet until you get
stronger." She said, "Where is Brother Susag?" He said, "Do you want to see
him?" She said, yes, so they called me and I said, "Praise the Lord,
honey." She said, "Can't I dress?" "Sure, you can dress," I said, and so
they dressed her. Then she said, "Now I want to get up and run." Again the
doctor said, "You can't do that." She said, "Brother Susag, can't I run?" I
said, "Sure, you can run," and out of the bed she went, but she stumbled
against the wall, and the doctor went to catch her. She said, "Don't touch
me. If I need help, Brother Susag can help me." Then through the house she
