Remarkable Preservation From Brain Difficulties.


"A few weeks ago, a man who had once been a member of my church, but had

fallen from his steadfastness through strong drink, fell from a ladder,

striking his head on the corner of a stone, which made a dent in the

skull of over two and one-half inches in length, and three-fourths of an

inch in width, and half an inch in depth. This happened on Friday

afternoon. At our prayer-meeting, in the evening, most earnest prayers

were offered in his behalf; the brethren prayed that God would restore

him his senses and spare him a few days, that he might repent of his

back-sliding and be saved.



"The surgeons raised the skull, and his senses were restored; his mind

seemed clear. This continued over a week, when it was evident that there

was still some pressure on the brain. The surgeons removed the skull,

and found three pieces driven down into the brain. They expressed, from

the first, no hope of his recovery; but wondered much at the clearness

of his mind, which continued for over two weeks. We believed that it was

in answer to the prayers of the church that he might have time and

opportunity to repent and prepare to meet God, which we trust he did."
