Testimonies for the Church Volume 1 - A New You Ministry

passing with much difficulty three wet boggy places, through which small streams ofmuddy water were flowing. There was no way to cross these only by wading. Havingaccomplished this, we came to nice, hard ground and a place where there was a jog inthe bank, and a large spring of the purest sparkling water was boiling up. A large vatwas placed there, very much like the plunge tub at the health institute at battle creek. Apipe was running from the spring into one end of the vat, and the water was overflowingat the other. The sun was shining brightly, and the water sparkled in its rays.“As we approached the spring, the young man said nothing, but looked toward meand smiled with an expression of satisfaction, and waved one hand toward the spring, asmuch as to say: ‘don’t you think that is an all-healing spring?’ Quite a large companyof persons, with brother and sister white at their head, came up to the spring on theopposite side from us. They all looked pleasant and cheerful, yet a holy solemnityseemed to be on their countenances.“Brother white seemed greatly improved in health, and was cheerful and happy, butlooked tired as though he had been walking some distance. Sister white had a large cupin her hand, which she dipped into the spring, drinking of the water, and then passingit to the others. I thought that brother white was addressing the company and sayingto them: ‘now you will have a chance to see the effects of this water.’ He then drank,and it instantly revived him, as it did all others who drank of it, causing a look of vigorand strength in their countenances. I thought that while brother white was talking andtaking now and then a draft of water, he placed his hands on the side of the vat andplunged in three times. Every time he came up he was stronger than before, but hekept talking all the while and exhorting others to come and bathe in ‘the fountain,’ ashe then called it, and drink of its healing stream. His voice, as well as that of sisterwhite, seemed melodious. I felt a spirit of rejoicing that I had found the spring. Sister603
