Hut tho world from tho vei beginning
kept calling for surgeons, and their llrst skill
issjiokoiiof in Genesis, vv hero they employed
their art for tho incision of a snerod rito, Uod
making surgery tho predecessor of Imptisui;
and wo Nil it again in II Kings, ulieio Aha
zlah, tho monarch, stepjssl on some crucUod
lattico work in tho puluoo and it liroko, and
bo fell from tho upper to tho loner lloor, and
ho was so hurt that ho sent to tho villngo of
Ekron for aid; ami lisouluplus, who wrought
such wonders of surgery that ho was deillod,
anil temples wore built for his worship at
Pergnmos; anil Kpidmirus and Podolltius in
troduced for tho relief of tho world phlebot
omy; and Dainocedes cured tho dislocated
ankloof King Darius and tho cancer of bis
queen; and Hippocrates put successful hand
on fractures and introduced amputation; and
Pruxugorus removed obstructions; and Ho
rophllus Isjgnii dlsxis'tlnu; and Kraslstratus
removed tumors; and Cel-ais, tlio Itoiuau Mir
goon, removed cataract from tho oyo und
used tho Sttnish My; and Helioilorus urrest
ed disoaso of tho throat; and Alexander, of
Tralles, treated tho oyo; and IUiu.us cauter
ized for tho prevention of hydrophobia, and
Percivul Pott camo to combat diseases of tho
splno; and in our own century we liavo had
a Koui and a Ijirray in Franco, an Astluy
Coojier and an Abcrnntliy in Groat lirltaln,
and a Valentino Mutt and Willard I'arkor
and Samuel I). Gross In Americ.i, and a gal
axy of living surgeons as brilliant as their
predecessors. What mighty proxies in tho
LatUlug of dlaonso shico tho crippled and sick
of ancient cities were laid along tho strooLs,
that xplo who had over lieeu hurt or disor
dered in tho samo way might wiggest what
bail better lio ilono for tho patients; and tho
priests of olden timo, who wero constantly
EUtTeriug from colds i cool ved in walking baro
foot over tho tomplo pavements, had to put
scribo for themselves, and fractures wero
consiilorisl so far beyond all human euro that
instead of calling In tho surgeons the jieoplo
only invoked tho godsl
HL'UOKltV WA.VTED WITHOUT I'AIN.
lint notwithstanding ull tho surgical and
modical skill of tho world, with what te
nacity tho old diseases hang on to tho human
race, and most of them aro thouviuds of
years old, and in our Bibles we read of them:
tho carbuncles of Job and He.ell:ili; th pal
pitation of tho heart spoken of In Deuteron
omy; tho sunstroke of a child cm i led from
tho llelds of Slmuoin, crying, "M headl my
beoill" King Asa's disease of tho foot, which
was nothing but gout; defection of ti-eth,
thut called for dental surgery, the skill of
which, quite, ispi il to anything model u, Is
still seen in tho llllfsl molars of tho unrolled
Egyptian mummies, tho ophthalmia cutisod
by tho julco of tho newly ripo llg, leaving tho
people blind at tho roadside; epilepsy, as in
tho case of tho young man often falling Into
tho tiro, and oft into tho water; by poclum
drill, as of rCcliuchailnciar, who Imagliiou
himself an ox, and going out to tho Held to
pasture; tho withered hand, which In Dihlo
times, as now, camo from the destruction of
the main artery, or from paralsis of tho
chief norvo; tho wounds of tho man whom
tho thlees left for dead on tho road to
Jericho, and whom tho good Samaritan
nurstl, pouring in oil und wluo wmo to
cleanse tho wound and oil to soothe it. Thank
Ood for what surgery has done for tho alle
viation and euro of human sutler lug!
But tho w odd wanted a surgery without
pain. I)rs. Parro and Hickman and Simp
sou and Warner and Jackson, with their
amazing genius, camo on, and with their
anasthotics 1huuiu1hx1 tho patient with uar
cotlcs and ethers as tho ancients did with
hasheesh and mandrake, and (piloted him for
aw Idle, but at tho return cf coiwiousne&s
distress returned Tho world has never seen
but ono surgeon who could straighten tho
croo'.od limb, euro tho blind ojo or locou
struot tho drum of a souudlovs eai or nslueo
a dropsy, without any pain at tho timo, or
any pain after, and that surgeon was Jesus
Christ, tho mightiest, grandest, gentlest and
most sympathetic surgeon tho world ever saw
oruerwill see, and ho desert e the cnntl
deuco and love and worship and lnaiiua of
all the earth und hallelujahs of all heaven
"Tho blind receive tholr sight and the lamo
walk; tho lepers are clouuvd and the deaf
boot"
I notice this Surgeon hud a fondues-, for
chronic cuos. Many a surgeon, when he has
bad a patient brought to him, has -aid:
"Why was not this attended to live years
ago) You bring him to mo after all pocr
of recuperation is gone. You have united
until there Is a comploto contraction of tho
muscles, and (also ligatures aro formed, and
ossification has tukeil place. It opght to have
been attended to long ago." But Cluist tho

t'hrlst tho Surgeon could not stand that.
Bending over the man mi tho mattress, and
In a voice tender with nil sympathy, but
strong with all iiHmiHitoiico, ho says, "HImi'"
And tho Invalid Instantly scrambles to his
knees, and then puts out his right foot, then
Ills left foot, and then stisid upright as though
ho had never liocn protr.-itcd. While he
stands looking at tho Doctor with a jov too
much to hold, tho Doctor says; "Shoulder this
mattress! for you are not only well enough tc
walk, but well enough to work, and start out
from these mineral baths Take up thy IkxI
and walk I" O'i, what a Surgeon for chronic
cases then, and for ehremte cases now!

In sjM-aklng of ('hiista.sn surgisiu, I must
consider him as an oculist, or oyo doctor, and
an am 1st. or ear doctor. Was there evoi
such another oculist I That ho was iarticu
larly sorry for tin- blind folks, I take from
tho fact that tho most of his works was with
tho tliseiix-d optic uerv es. I havo not timo to
count up tho numlier of blind coplo men
tioned who got his cure. Two blind inon In
ono houv, also ono who was born blind; so
that It was not removal of a v l-ual obstruc
tion, but tlie creation of tho cornea, and cili
a-y muscle, and crystalline lens, mid retina,
ami optic nerve, and tour gland, also tho
blind man of Ilethsaldu, cuicd by tho saliva
which tho Surgeon hiok from the tip of his
own tongue and put usm the oveluls; also
