for the1 principle of a thing stood by
me wonderfully. In No. 7 Township

When a village youth makes a fly

Blessed is he who maketh Christ

Two or three times in my life God
in His' mercy touched my heart, and
twice before my conversion I was un
der deep conviction.
During the American War, I was
surgeon in the United States Army
and after the battle of Gettysburg
there were many hundred wounded
soldiers in my hospital, amongst
whom were twenty-eight who had
been wounded so severely that re
quired my service at once. Some
whose legs had to be amputated,
some their arms, and others both
arms and legs. One of the latter was
a boy who had been but three months
in the service and being too young
for a soldier, had enlisted as a drum
mer. When my assistant surgeon and
one of my stewards wished to admin
ister chloroform, he turned his head
aside and positively refused to re
ceive it When the steward told him
that ; it was the .doctor's orders, be
said, "Send the doctor to me." When
I came to his bedside I said, "Young
man, Why do you refuse chloroform?"
"When I found you on the battlefield,
you were so far gone that I thought
it hardly worth while to pick yon up,
but when you opened those large blfle
eyes,' I thought you had a mother
somewhere, '.who might at that mo
ment' W thinking of her boy. I did
not want yon to die on the field, so
oiuered you to be brought here, but
you have now lost so much blood that
you are too weak to endure an opera
tion without chloroform; therefore
you had better let me give, you some."
He laid his hand on mine and looking
me in the face. said. "Doctor, one
Sunday afternoon in the Sabbath
School when I was nine and a half
years old, I gave my heart to Christ
I learned to trust Him then. I have
been trusting him ever since, and I
can trust him now. He is my stremrth
and my stimulant; he will support me
while you amputate my arm and leg."
1 then asked him if he would allow
me to give him a little brandy. A-
gain he looked me in the face, say
ing, "Doctor, when I was about five
years old, my mother knelt by my
side with her arms around my neck
and said, 'Charlie, I am now praying
to Jesus that you may never know
the taste of strong drinks. Your pa
pa died a drunkard and went down
to a drunkard's grave, and I promised
Gdv4f;xiWWere His will that you
should grow up, that you should warn
young men against the bitter cup."
I am now seventeen years old, but I
have never tasted anything stronger
man tea or cortee, and as 1 am now
about to go into the presence of my
Gad, would you send me there with
brandy on my stomach?" The look
that boy gave me I shall never forget.
At that time I -hated Jesus, but I re
spected that boys loyalty to his Savior
and when I saw how he loved and
trusted Him to the last, there was
something that touched my heart, and
I did for that boy, what I had never
done for any other soldier; I asked
him if he wanted to see his chaplain,
"Oh, yes sir," was the answer. When
Lhaplam K. came he at once knew
the boy from having often met him
at the tent prayer meeting, and tak
ing his hand said. "Well Charlie. I am
sorry to see you in this sad condition."
Ufi, I am all right sir," he answered,
"The doctor -offered me chloroform
but I declined it, then he wished to
give me. brandy which I also declined.

The largest number of ballots in
many years, if ever, were cast in the
primary election last Saturday. So-
great was the vote that it was about
one o'clock Saturday night before the
poll holders finished counting out the
ballots in the, Marshall precinct. Be
fore these were finished, enough of
the other precincts had been heard
from to show pretty well who had
been elected. In some instances, no
candidate had a majority but it had
been pretty generally understood that
the high man would be declared the
nominee without a second primary.
However, some of the candidates have
been disposed to go into a second pri
mary, and it is not certain yet that a
second primary will not be held. If
it continues to stand as it now is, the
