Hard-Hearted Pharaoh

From the musty dryness of a Canopic jar which once stood in a Pharaoh's tomb a London surgeon took the dead Pharaoh's dried and leather heart. He dissected it and marveled. His amazement he told to Sir Berkeley George Andrew Moynihan, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, honorary fellow of the American Surgical Association, who last week retold: The heart showed a fatty degeneration and a hardening, and it was, wonderfully, the heart of that very Pharaoh Menephthah of whom the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened. . . . (Exodus 7:14.)
