or war, the problem which must bo
solved by the war department is not
“Mow can we rejeet our volunteers?”
but “How can w<> persuade or even
compel men to enlist in the ranks?"
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

“The world may know him as a gr- at

are passing through a religious crisis.
You are now about to decide your

to sing in the church choir. Fait the
church members have no more right,
in this go-pel movement, to let tin
choir do all the singing than the pew
has to expect the pulpit to do all tin-

The story of Gideon's campaign is
unique in history. Here was a general
about to march against « powerful in

he must meet with a raw and undis
cipllncd force, actually reducing by a
capricious test the number of his fol

When General Gideon raised his stand
ard to repel the invasion of the .Mid
tanites and Amalekites ;52.000 volun
teers answered the call to arms. Hut j
God said to Gideon, better quality than
quantity. Uettor a few loyal and d<*

great host made up of disgruntled and
fault finding, indiffer nt reeruils. Gid :

numbers of that Israeiitish army lie
cut them down and down and down j
and down until there were left only
three hundred men—only three small I
companies to follow their intnpid lead
er. Hut they won tho victory. So it
may be in Mn* great conflict between j
good and evil in this world. Conse- !
crated, loyal, earnest men are needed
In the struggle fur righteousness. The
falling away of the half hearted, the
quarrelsome, ami occasion no alarm.
The fight is tin* Lord’s, and In* can ac
complish mere witli a few brave souls,

you are not wiiling to let that divine

! instead of staying in a church and dis

ter for you to leave Unit church and go

men who deserted Gideon's standard
at the first opporlunity the Hebrew
j eommainler gave (hem to skulk home.
| The church should lx* a harmoniously
organized army. It is not only possible
. thereby to hurl a solid front against
the Satanic foe. hut also by preponder
ance of numbers, concentrated in one
move, to make, as the Hible says, a
little one "become a thousand and a

of an opposing foe. If hy a sure mathe

As in every other army, the Christian
army must have a countersign. When
1 belonged to the United States army,
during tin* Spanish-American war,
there were certain times 1 could not
pass in or out of the camp without
giving the countersign. So we find
that all the Christian churches have a
countersign. That countersign is one
word of live letters, and that one word
is Jesus, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus! Jesus, !
who is our Saviour; Jesus, who lived i
and died and rose again to redeem the
world and to save his pimple from
their sins.

There is sure to be to a more or less !

of us all. If on:* Christian soldier is ^

The third purpose: 1 would show j
that those three hundred immortal !
Gideonite conquerors were all volun- [
teers. Chrlst’E disciples must be volun
teers, not conscripts. One of the most
horrible pictures ever painted was that
by M. Clalrin, called the “Conscripts.”
It shows an African scene where hun

chains and are being forcibly compel

most certain death. Hut Christ's army,
like that of Gideon, has in it no con
scripts. The Christian soldier of the
church must be a volunteer. Will you
enlist under Christ’s banner? Will you
go forth in the name of this church, a
united band, to march against the Sa
tanic hosts? Will you go forth a har
monious company of Christians, ready

Mr. Wilkes writes in the course of a lone letter, dated August IS. 1902:
"My legs were drawn back until my feet touched my hips. I was as helpless as a baby
lor nearly 12 months. The muscles of my arms and legs were hard and shriveled up. I
suffered death many times over. Was treated hy si* different physicians in McColl, Dillon
and Marion, but none of them could do me any good, until Or. J. I* twing. of Dillon, told
me to try your RHEUM ACIDE. I began to take it, and before the first bottle was used np
I began to get better. I used 5} bottles and was completely cured.■’

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-

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
