The Mormon Elders came to that vicinity, the parents of the young lady received and obeyed the Gospel. They were anxious their daughter should be baptized, believing firmly she would be healed. After some time, for she was a ver.y aristocratic girl and did not like to give up her' position in the world, she gave her consent to be baptized. It was a very cold day, the brook was frozen solid, a hole ua- - cut in the ice, and one after another went into the water, and by and by, the lame girl with her crutches came down to the water's edge. The Elders baptized her, he walked out of the water, whole, and never had occasion to use her crutches after. The fact of her being healed created quite a' sensation, especially among the doctors who came froin far and near to inquire byv .what means it had been done. But none could gainsay it. This is only one of. thousands of manifestations of the power of healing. The children in Zion should seek after mighty faith, for there are great works to he accomplished by them. They have been born in the holy priesthood and are heirs to all the, promises of the new and everlasting covenant, and God is ready and willing to pour out rich blessings upon them if they-wil- l seek unto Him and keep His holy commandments ; and let us all remember, with- ut .faith it is impossible to please God. ; ; ! j ton mnch said iion important nhject.
