Transcription

They had washed Sister Young preparatory to having her annointed which ordanance I attended to after we had prayers, Sister Lawson be ing mouth made an excellent and humble prayer. Then I called Sopha to seal the annointing, which she did in a praiseworthy manner, for one so young. Then I called upon Jane to annoint the head of Sister Wickens and Sister Newsom to administer to her. They both did exceedingly well, I will here mention that we all laid our hands on when each one was administered to. Then it was proposed to bless Sister Louie Felt, she being poorly. Sister Cushing annointed and Sister Lawson blessed her. After we were through with these, Sister Aggie Tuckett who is very sick sent a word for us to come and pray for her. We went in and Lizzie Felt annointed, and, I administered to her. Felt, that they would all soon be healed They were so grateful to us, seemed to look upon us as ministering angels.
