I have seen the sick healed. I have seen devils cast out. The blind have seen, the deaf have heard; and all the gifts and graces have been with us. While I was in Herefordshire I helped carry a sister into the water who had not walked for twelve or fifteen years, and we baptized her. When we con- firmed her she said she believed she had faith sufficient to be healed. Presi- dent Young and Dr. Richards called up- on me and I told them of this case. I wanted them to administer to her with me in confirming her. We laid hands on her, and President Young was mouth. That woman rose to her feet,
Some time ago I met a man and a wo- man against the Valley House here. The woman said to me, "Do you know me?" I said, "No, I don't." "Do you know this man?" "No, I don't." "Well," said she, "he was born dumb, and when he and I were baptized in Here- fordshire, you laid hands on him and his speech was given to him, and he has been able to talk from that day to this." I do not speak of these things boastingly. We have no chance for boasting, because any man who has these gifts knows they are of God, and not of man. I never saw a minute in my life when I felt I had occasion to boast of any gift or blessing that God gave to me. Whatever power I have received, whatever I have been able to do, has been by the gift of God.
I pray God my Heavenly Father that we may always live in that way and manner that when we arrive on the other side of the veil we shall receive all those gifts and blessings that belong to the Saints of God who have been true and faithful in any age of the world.
