William Branham recalls the following about his meeting with Arthur Morton, who had no prayer card:
:''He asked, "Will my baby live?"
:''I Said, 'You come by... started to come part of the way by a sled. And then you went down to the place...to get on a plane, you and your wife, you found out you didn't have even enough money for both of you to come on a bus. And now, Traveler's Aid's a helping you.'"
:''I responded, "That I can't say...[but] Within the next three days you're going to meet a black-headed woman on the street, and that woman's going to ask you what's the matter with that baby. And then she's going to tell you of some little country doctor out here that can perform that operation, and you won't want to believe it, because that Mayo's turned it down and said it was impossible to be done. But that's the only chance your baby has, through the power of God, the mercy of God and that operation."
:''And the man like to have fainted. '''And the Holy Spirit spoke THUS SAITH THE LORD. And the baby got well.'''


Arthur Morton did find the doctor who could perform the operation.  Donny Morton then survived a series of four brain operations, and was declared by the doctors to be on the sure road to recovery.  By mid-September Donny Morton was sitting up, and was able to stretch out his arms towards his parents - something he had not been able to do for months.  Sadly, Donny contacted pneumonia in October, and passed away on November 2 in his sleep from a combination of pneumonia and meningitis.

One of the closing comments in the Readers Digest article states: ''"Skeptics will say, “You see? Miracles don’t happen in the 20th century,” But they are wrong."''  They viewed the miracle not in the failure of the boy to live but in the outpouring of love by those impacted by the plight of the young boy and his loving father.
