Autobiography 1882 Leaves from My Journal
On the evening of the , at Brother
Kingston's house in Dymock, Elders Brigham Young, Wil-
lard Richards and I laid hands upon her head and confirmed
her.
Brigham Young, being mouth, rebuked her lameness, and
commanded her to arise and walk, in the name of the Lord.
The lameness then left her, and she never afterwards used a
staff or crutch.
She walked through the town of Dymock next day, which
created a stir among the people; but the wicked did not feel
to give God the glory.
The whole history of this Herefordshire mission shows the
importance of listening to the still small voice of the Spirit of
God and the revelations of the Holy Ghost.
The Lord had a people there prepared for the gospel. They
were praying for light and truth, and the Lord sent me to
them, and I declared the gospel of life and salvation unto
them, and some eighteen hundred souls received it, and many
of them have been gathered to Zion in these mountains. Many
of them have also been called to officiate in the bishopric, and
have done much good in Zion. But in all these things we
should ever acknowledge the hand of God, and give Him the
honor, praise and glory, forever and ever. Amen.
