from joseph august anderson's 2d mission—1891

[O]n the 22d did we anoint a sick woman that had been confined to bed for about a year and hundreds of crowns had been paid out for medicine but to no avail. She having faith in the Gospell [sic] but could not get out of the house in order to receive baptism was the cause of us administering the ordinance of healing to her. wi [sic] fasted and prayed all day and the Lord heard and answered our prayers to the efect [sic] that the woman went up directly and dressed and took in food. She got well as soon as wi [sic] were through. and wi [sic] felt thankfull [sic] to God for his kindness towards and the woman she will be baptized as soon as she can obtain strength in her body to go out to the river.
