The sermon was followed by prayer and

This question was raised by Saul Of TRrsus

now he hears the voice OF God he forgets all

our duty to God If we are alive to our own
spiritual welfare we shall ask, Lord what

cry of every truly awakened soul. 1t is only
when men are themselves hardened in sin
that they attempt to justify themselves by
criticising others. People often talk about
others as though they were deeply concerned
for their conduct, when all the time they
have NO concern for themselves.

Seven months after l had received
the wound submitted to an operation
to remove the shattered piece of skull.
1t was performed by Drs. Robi and
Hinton, and lasted over an hour. j
sat in n chair, resting my head in
my left hand while the doctors
worked. 1 refused to take an an
aesthetic, because 1 was so much inter
ested in my own case that 1 wanted to
know exactly what they did. Already
had for months suffered the most in
tense pain, and cannot say that the
surgeons knife added materially to my
misery; in fact it almost seemed to be
relief. AS say, although previous
to the operation had been we'll nour-
ished, never slept except under OPT
ates.
1t seems that the ball or shell which
struck me had torn my scalp, carrying
away the periosteum of the occipital
bone and cracking the latter so that
subsequent inflammation caused the ex-
poliation or throwing off of the bone.
Portions of the inner table of the
skull came away, but the in
ner periosteum remained intact;
nature has provided new matter, which
has IL SuSLi-1lh0 pEObOSbAOAA
over my brain. At the time the bone
was removed the surgeons could feel
the pulsations of the brain, the inner
periosteum having become visible.
After the bone was removed Profess
sor f. X. Hamilton, who attended Pres,
ident Garfield during his last illness,
examined my wound and was SO struck
with the popularity of the fracture that
he took me to Bellevue Hospital, where
furnished the subject of a lecture tc
the clinic. This lecture was published
in the London Lancet for 1864.
At the clinic with me was a mar
named Monk, with small hole in hi
head. That is, it appeared very small
beside mine, though the lecturer init
mated that his chances of surviving
| were not as good as mine.
Another interesting and not very
cheerful feature of this experience WA
the fact that the lecturer brought from
a cabinet a number of skulls, each one
representing some phase of a fracture
of the head. He would hold up ont

"A part of my head is in Washing
ton"
When made this statement the other
day in the course of a conversation with
some friends, they looked at me very
closely, as if TO see whether / was
really in my right mind. The explana-
ton which followed l am sure convinced
them that the statement ] made was
absolutely true, and at the request of a
newspaper man who was present, / re-
peat the story of my strange experience
during the war, the result of which was
to make my case one of the most re-
markable in the annals of surgery.
/ was born in 1886 and have lived in
Brooklyn nearly all my life. l enlisted
in 1869 in the Fourteenth regiment
of Brooklyn. The peculiar and re-
markable wound in my head was re-
ceived about IL o'clock of the first day
of the battle of Gettysburg, just as the
command was given to charge on Davis
Mississippi brigade along the railroad
cut ! do not know whether a bullet
or shell struck me, but was proba-
bly, struck by sharpshooter in a
neigh boring barn who had mortally
wounded General Reynolds as he was
standing beside me n moment before.
The bullet, or shell, entered my
head directly above the tenn
pie, taking q circuitous course

there are several holes in each side OF
my head, each as large as half dollar;

hour, waking to find myself totally
blind. at once attributed my blind
ness to a shock to the optic nerves, for
remembered having read something
on that subject Fearful that should
be blind for life wished that the shot
had killed me on the spot.
I lay thus helpless about an hour,
dimly realizing my terrible condition.
Suddenly discovered, in rude outline,

Quickly as it had been taken away.

from my shelter tent, made wad or
compress of it and put it in the open
ing in my head. l suffered no pain, but
afterward, when the shattered bone be-
gan to suppurate, suffered as much as
it is possible for a man to suffer and live.
l also made bandage from a piece of
tent, placed it around my head and start
ed off on a walk, not knowing exactly
where I was going. I could see thaS
both lines of battle were getting ready
for a general engagement. 1 soon re-
ceived an intimation that 1 was going
wrong; one of the soldiers of the Sixth
Wisconsin shouted to me, at the same
time making a motion for me to go
back. 1 turned about, not knowing
which direction to take, because 1 was
out ON the battlefield away from the
roads. After three days detention at
Gettysburg 1 walked to Littletown, a
distance of eleven miles, which, it will

my own Uranium and say cheerfully:
Now we may expect Mr.. Jochum's
skull to look like this after he is dead"
This was quite grewsome, but | con-
soled myself with the thought that l
might be helping along medical science.
After this lecture many surgeons
came to see me, travelling two or three
hundred miles for the purpose of study
ing my case. DIR. Van Buren,, at that
time a celebrated surgeon of New York,
examined me, together with DIR. Mott.
His experience with such surgical cases
had been long, but he expressed great
surprise at my recovery. remember
that at the time he called small hand
full of sutures which united the two
bones had come out, and these were
shown to him. The sutures had been
picked out by the surgeon until there
was quite a collection. They filed a
tablespoon and looked like irregular,
jagged pieces of ivory. They would
slip off and work out through the hole
in my head.
