Miracles in My Life - J. N. Loughborough

given them a chance to speak.
After the grove meeting at Koshkonong,
Stephenson and Hall returned home, and Elder
Cornell and I expected to go that night to the home
of Stephen Bragg, some 12 miles over an
unfamiliar road. A brother who lived only a mile
off the road had a request from his ten-year-old son
who was suffering from a severe fever, that we
stop and have prayer for him. The man said, "My
boy says that if you will come and pray for him, he
will be well." We told the man we did not see how
we could turn off the road that distance and still
reach Brother Bragg's before dark. After we started
out on what we supposed to be the right road, we
found our way blocked by a gate, and the brother's
house just inside the gate. He rushed out and
exclaimed, "We are so glad you decided to come!"
The facts were we were so busy talking, the horse
had taken the wrong road. We had prayers for the
boy, and just as his faith had claimed, he was
instantly healed of his fever. We were able to
complete our journey before dark.
