Brave Generosity.
In a battle during our last war the Con-
federates were driving back the Federals,
who were in swift retreat, when a Federal
officer dropped wounded. One of his men
stopped at the risk of his life and put his
arms around the officer to carry him from
the field. Fifty Confederate muskots were
nimcll at the young man who was picking
11p the uilicer. But the Confederate cap-
tain shouted: “lloldf Don't lire. That
follow is too bravo to he shot." And as
the Federal ofilcor, held up by his private
aoldicr. wcnt limping slowly off the field
the Confederates gave three cheers for the
brave private, and just before the two dis-
oflicer and the brave private lifted their

Why War II Den-able.
War in more ghastly new than once, not
on] because of the creator doctructivcnocr
of to weaponry, but because now it taken:
down the best men, whereas once it chiefly
took down the worst. Brace, In 1717, in
bio “institutions of Military Law." said
of the European armies of. his day, “ll all
fmous persons and such as have com
mlt er) capital crimes. heretics. atheists
read all dastardly feminine men, were
wooded out of the army, it would soon be
reduced to a pretty moderate number."
Flogging and mean pay made them still
more 13111111111. Officers were appointed to
no that each soldier drank his ration of a
pint of spirit: a day. There were noble
men in battle, but the moral character of
the army then was 95 per cent lower than
the moral character of an army today. fly
so much is war now the more detestable
because it destroys the picked men of the
nations. '
Again by this national ceremony we
mean to honor courage. Many of these
departed soldiers were volunteers, not con-
scripts. and many of those who were draft-
ed might have‘providcd a substitute or got
on on furlough or have deserted. The fact
that they lie in their grow; is proof of
their bravery. 11va at the front, brave at
the cannon a mouth, brave on lonely pick-
et duty, bravo in cavalry charge bravo be-
fore the surgeon, brave in the dying mess-
age to the home circle. We yesterday put
a garland on the brow of courage. The
world wants more of it.
The church of God is in woeful need of
men who can stand under fire. The lion
of worldly derision roars . and the sheep
tremble. In great refurmatory movements
at the first shot how many fall back.
The great obstacle to the church's advance-
ment. is the faculty, the vacuity. the soft
prettiness. the namby pnmb) ism of pro-
fessed Christians. Great cna p rude cow
urds in battle. Afraid of go ting their
plumes rallied, they carry a perusal. over
their helmet. They go into battle not with
warriors' gauntlet but with kid gloves
not clutching the sword hilt too tight lest
the glove split at the back.
In all our 19101111111011 and Christian
work the great want is more. backbone,
more mettle, more daring, more prowess.
We would in all our chm-choc like to trade
off a hundred do nothings for one do every-
thing. "Quit yourselves like men; be
strong."

scar Sacrifice. ’
Again we mean by thiswnntioual observ-
ance to honor self sacrifice for others To
all these departed men home. and kindred
were as door as our borne and kindred are
to us. Do you know how they felt? Just
as you and 1 would feel starting out to:
marrow morning with nine cimnm out of
ten against our returning alive, for the
intelligent soldier sees not only battle
ahead, but malarial cicknrws and exhaus-
tion. liad these men chosen, they could
have spent last. night in their homes and
today have [men mated whom you are.
They chose the camp, not because they
liked it better than their own house, and
followed tbcdrum and life, not becnulte
they were better music than the voices of
the domestic circle. South Mountain and
Murine-shore and the swamps of Cbickn:
horniny were not playgrounds.
These heroes risked and lost all for
others. There is no higher subllmlty than
that. To keep three-quarters for durselvera
and give one-quarter to others is honora-
ble. To divide even with others is getter»
one. To keep nothing for ourselves and
give all for others is magnaniznity Christ»
