THE STORY OF A SOUL.

Not long ago in one OF the London
hospitals a remarkable case was OBJ
served which brings up that most
curious of all questions. the relation
of the material thing we call the
body. with that Intangible essence
which for want Of better name we
call the soul.
A little s-year-old girl was brought
to Farnham Isolation hospital in the
last stages of diphtheria. According
to the report of two doctors and three
nurses, she was really at her last
gasp. 1t was decided as final des-
perate resort to try traeheotomy. and
removing her TO the operating room
chloroform was administered, where
upon the child's breathing ceased, her
heart stopped and her color grew
waxen. In the face of these unmis-
taxable signs Of death one of the
nurses left the room, saying: 1T is
all over" But the doctors decided
to proceed with the operation. which
consumed twenty minutes. and a tube
was inserted In the subjects throat.
The child was actually dead. accord
ing to all tests known to medical
science. and this fact appeared to be
conclusively established by the waxen
complexion, which never appears un-
til life is extinct Then as a last
hope. artificial respiration was en-
ployed, aided by strychnine. brandy
and hot bottles. To everyone's amaz-
ement and delight the child began to
breathe again. and was soon cor
sclous and rational. The tube had
been removed and it is said that there
is an excellent chance for her com
plete recovery. How long the child
ceased to breathe is not exactly
known. but it was at least thirty
minutes. and during that period there
was no movement Of the heart.
While the body of this little girl
was in this condition, to all intent
and purposes dead, where, it may be
asked. was the soul? When real
death takes place the theory is that
this soul flies away or in some other
manner separates itself from the body
But in this case here were all the
symptoms of death; every known test
had been applied except that sufIlc-
lent time had not elapsed to permit
of the process of bodily decomposi-
tion setting in. Yet, II there was
soul it certainly had not taken its
flight. 1t was still in the body.
When. then the question arises. does
the soul leave? How long after the
actual physical cessation OF all bodily
functions does 1t continue in the body
and for what purpose?
1t seems obvious that If the testi-
mony OF the medical attendants is to
be accepted, that the child so to
speak could not have been more dead.
In fact had not extraordinary meas
ures been taken the patient would
have remained so. Now, in view OF
this, what inference are we to draw
as to the state or function of the
soul?
1t is n problem over which philos-
ophy and science have racked their
brains in vain. The only star that
seems to illumine the horizen is hope.
