SIGNS THAT FOLLOW BELIEVERS.
Besides the miraculous aid and protection frequently afforded them
in their labors, the missionaries abroad often have occasion to note
remarkable manifestations of the Lord's power and goodness towards
others.
The signs that Christ promised should follow believers are as much in
evidence in these days as in former dispensations. The Latter-day Saint
Elders witness these signs from time to time among those who accept
their testimony and believe the Gospel. Often they are called upon to
administer the ordinance of anointing and laying on of hands upon the
sick and afflicted. As the result of such administrations they see some
wonderful manifestations of the power of God. A few such instances of
recent occurrence I shall here relate:
Some three years ago two Elders who were laboring in Warwick, England,
made the acquaintance of a lady who was so ill that she had been
confined to her bed for two years, and suffered great pain. They taught
her the Gospel, and told her that the miraculous signs which the Savior
said should follow the believers might be realized in her case if she
would exercise faith. She read the books they loaned her and believed
their words, and a day was appointed for them to come and administer to
her. They came upon the day appointed and the ordinance was attended
to. While their hands were upon her head, she afterwards testified, all
pain left her; and immediately after the conclusion of the ceremony she
was enabled to get up and walk. She retired to an adjoining room and
partook of refreshments. She was entirely healed from that time, and
was able to work and earn her own livelihood.
Elder Ephraim H. Nye, who at the time, June, 1899, was president of the
California Mission, gave the following account of a remarkable case of
healing which came under his observation:
"T. M. Shaw, of San Francisco was baptized a year ago last May. He was
a painter and was employed as such at the Mare Island Navy Yards, but
roomed at Vallejo.
