Answered Prayer -- Amazing Preservation from Brain Difficulties

Tip! The Master will not expect more from anyone than a person is capable of doing for Him. Jesus wants us to understand that each person will be rewarded according to their faithfulness in doing their given task.

"A few weeks ago, a man who had once been a member of my church, but had fallen from his faithfulness through strong drink, fell from a ladder. He struck his head on the corner of a stone, which made a dent in his 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 his skull, and his senses were restored; his mind seemed quite clear. This continued for over a week, when it was evident that there was still some pressure on the brain. The surgeons removed his skull, and found three pieces driven down into the brain.

They expressed, from the first, that there was no hope of his recovery; but they marveled 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."
