spoken by any of the company from the
time they left Brother Brigham's house
till we crossed the public square, and
entered Brother Fordham's house. Bro-
ther Fordham had been dying for an
hour, and we expected each minute
would be his last.

I felt the power of God that was
overwhelming His Prophet.

When we entered the house, Brother
Joseph walked up to Brother Fordham,
and took him by the right hand; in his
left hand he held his hat.

He saw that Brother Fordham's eyes
were glazed, and that he was speechless
and unconscious.

After taking hold of his hand, he
looked down into the dying man's face
and said: "Brother Fordham do you
not know me?" At first he made no
reply; but we could all see the effect of
the spirit of God resting upon him.

He again said: "Elijah, do you not
know me?"

With a low whisper, Brother Ford-
ham answered, "Yes!"

The Prophet then said, "Have you
not faith to be healed?"

The answer, which was a little plainer
than before, was: "I am afraid it is too
late. If you had come sooner, I think
it might have been."

He had the appearance of a man wak-
ing from sleep. It was the sleep of
death.

Joseph then said: "Do you believe
that Jesus is the Christ?"

"I do, Brother Joseph," was the re-
ponse.

Then the Prophet of God spoke with
a loud voice, as in the majesty of the
Godhead: "Elijah, I command you, in
the name of Jesus of Nazareth, to arise
and be made whole!''

The words of the Prophet were not
like the words of man, but like the voice
of God. It seemed to me that the
house shook from its foundation.

Elijah Fordham leaped from his bed
like a man raised from the dead. A
healthy color came to his face, and life
was manifested in every act.

His feet were done up in Indian meal
poultices. He kicked them off his feet,
scattered the contents, and then called
for his clothes and put them on. He
asked for a bowl of bread and milk, and
ate it; then put on his hat and followed
us into the street, to visit others who
were sick.

The unbeliever may ask: "Was there
not deception in this?"

If there is any deception in the mind
of the unbeliever, there was certainly
none with Elijah Fordham, the dying
man, nor with those who were present
with him, for in a few minutes he would
have been in the spirit world, had he
not been rescued. Through the bless-
ing of God, he lived up till 1880, in
which year he died in Utah, while all
who were with him on that occasion,
with the exception of one, are in the
spirit world.

Among the number were Joseph and
Hyrum Smith, Sidney Rigdon, Brigham
Young, Heber C. Kimball, George A.
Smith, Parley P. Pratt and Orson Pratt.
Wilford Woodruff is the only one living
who was present at that time, and he
will soon mingle with those who have
gone.

As soon as we left Brother Fordham's
house, we went into the house of Joseph
B. Noble, who was very low and danger-
ously sick.

When we entered the house, Brother
Joseph took him by the hand, and com-
manded him, in the name of Jesus
Christ, to arise and be made whole.
He did arise and was immediately
healed.

While this was going on, the wicked
mob in the place, led by one Kilburn,
had become alarmed, and followed us
into Brother Noble's house.

Before they arrived there, Brother
Joseph had called upon Brother Ford-
ham to offer prayer.

While he was praying, the mob en-
tered, with all the evil spirits accom-
panying them.

As soon as they entered, Brother
Fordham, who was praying, fainted and
sank to the floor.

When Joseph saw the mob in the
house, he arose and had the room cleared
of both that class of men and their at-
tendant devils. Then Brother Fordham
immediately revived and finished his
prayer.

This case of Brother Noble's was the
last one of healing upon that day. It
was greatest day for the manifestation of
the power of God through the gift of
