During America’s great civil war all healthy men in the south between the ages of eighteen and sixty were forced to shoulder a musket if unwilling to go guns, how bravely, how calmly, how unselfishly the great soldier bore his •iUtieritig and, sits;.lined by <«od. grace, went unl'aiii t iugiy to the grave. “The world may know him as a gr- at general, ns a succ siul politician, but 1 know him,” wrote his family physi cian, Dr. Douglass, "ns a patient, gen tie, <iiiif t, iiii' cuiijdainiiig sulferer. look ing death calmly ia the face and count ing almost the hours he had to live, and those boms were studied by him that he might contribute something of bcnelit to some other fellow sufferer. 11 he was great in his life he was even greater in his death!” The* <truce of (tod.

When going into battle it is just as important for a soldier to know that be is standing shoulder to shoul der with friends us (o realize that he is standing face to face with attacking foes. Civil war veterans have told me | that the affection which hound the j men of each company together was like bands of unbreakable steel, if a sol- J dier out foraging found food hidden ! away in a barn or if he found a desert- i ed pile of blankets or an extra pile of dry wood to In* cut into kindling, tin :( first persons be thought of were those of his company. There the mem bers shared each other’s joys. They sympathized with each other in their sorrows. If one of their number did wrong or got into trouble, the different members of his company would always come to his assistance. So, my friends, the members of each separate < hrls- tian church ought to be linked together ] by gospel love. They should try to shield each other and pray for each other and care for each other and help each other. They should never before the world expose each other’s weak- ! nesses any more than a wife should he willing to publish before a cynical | neighborhood the weaknesses and shortcomings of her husband. Church members, in other words, should "he kindly alfeetioned to one another, with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another.” Not True (:lirl*»(la»iH. “'The church a harmonious gosjn 1 company? oh, no,” says one. “That ideal is not always a possibility. 1 know it is not possible for me to live in sympathy and love with all the members of my church. Some of them have been too mean and have doue me too many injustices. 1 can truly say 1 do not want to harm them, hut 1 certainly desire that they should leave *nt* entirely alone. 1 certainly intend lo leave them entirely alone. 1 do not wish to keep them out of heaven, but I do not wish some of them to sit be side me In a celestial mansion or by any common earthly fireside made of brick and stone."
