was the way Richard Neville, Earl

maker saw that his troops were be-
ing routed„ he rode to the top of
the hill and dismounted. There,
within sight of his men, he drove
his sward into the neart of his noble
wee charger. Then, having cut off
ail possibility ot personal escape, he
oalled his troops, saying; "The
commander ot the English forces is
here to conquer or die! Will his
men be willing to die with him?"
'The retreating soldiers gathered

by the gleam of the hot, hissing,

an earthly martyrdom.
A BATTLEFIELD BEQUEST.
The dead of our battlefields are in-
tensely alive to -day in the influence
elf the sorrowing loved ones who
were left, bereft. Sometimes we are
apt to erroneously believe that the
only sufferings of war were to be
found in the gunshot wounds and
the swamp fevers, in the heartrend-
ing cries of "Water! Water!" heard
g" at night from the wounded lying be-
tween the contending,: lines, in the
colds, the heats, the hunger, the
• weariness and the homesicknesi suf-
fered by the mon at the front. But
I have always believed that the
wives and mothers and the sisters
and sweethearts who stayed at home
to weep suffered far more than the
husbands and sons and brothers who
donned their ulliforms and went
forth to 'die. Think of their sad,
weary nights! Think of theirstart-.
led earswhen the rumors were heard
that a4reat battle was, about to be
fouglint Think of their Wet eyes,
scanning the long newspaper columns
of the dead and missing! That awful
• word "missing!" Think of the
•
,a4ea.poverty which the young widow had
to face, with four or -five children at
• her back! We honor the dead sold-
iers who „evoPe the .livery of Liberty.
We ought also honor the wives and
. mothers, the sweethearts and the
sisters, who were willing to give
' these soldiers , as a sacrifice, as well
eie, the terries who were willing to
• OUIL CONSECRATED HOMES.
The dead of our battlefields are
intensely alive to -day because they
have proved that the strength of
this country is to be found in the
multitudes of its consecrated homes
and not in the size of its standing
armies. When war breaks out, a na-
tion has to use the ships which it
_has constructed in times of peace. It
takes years to •build a floating light-
ing machine. But what I have said
is true in reference to a standing
army. A country does not need,
save in times of war, to call the
'keenest brains, the strongest arms
•and ,the brawniest bodies from the
avocations of peace and have the
nation groaning uuder the weight, of
useless. taxation. It 0000 not need
to liate fewer member -its, fewer
school teachers. fewer lawyers nnct
ministers and mechanics and farraere
in order to have more privates and
lieutenants and captains awl major
and colonels and generols. 11 •

our battlefields to whom the answer
that he received would apply.
"These are they which earns out of

INCFDENT OF 'rale CRIMEA.
When the English soldiers came
back from: the Crimea war, all Lon-
don turned out to greet them. After
they had marched past the review-
ing stand Queen Victoria and the
prince consort arose to receive those
heroes who were to be decorated
with medals. As each soldier ap-
proached, the Queen, with her own
hand, pinned the medal upon the
breast of the num she wished to
honor. Some of those soldiers had
an empty- sleeve ; some came on
crutches - some bad their heads
bandaged.. At last there came a
litter. In it was carried the physi-
cal wreck of a man. Both of his
legs had been shot aviita. One of his
arras was gone. His body' had sim-
ply been riddled with bullets. Then
the queen, with tears in her eyes,
bade the bearers halt. She left her
place and destended the steps of her
stand to the side of the litter. She
bent over the poor veteran. On ac-
count of his sufgrings the queen
wished to honor him more than any
of the rest. So the more the Chris-
tian dead of our battlefields suffered
the more Christ has honored them.
Therefore the more are they alive
to -day in the heavenly reunions.
"Greater love bath no manthan
this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends." Every one of the
dectd heroes paid the greatest of all
sacrifices for shis country. They gave
their lives in order that others .
might live. May we realize
that when we serve our Lord and
Masterbest, then we serVe best our
nation, May the sorrow and the
sadness, the sufferings and the
deaths instil in our hearts a pro-
found love of peace and a deeper
coneecration to hint whose name is
the Prince of Peace. Let us labor
to so disseminate the teachings of
Jesus that war in the future shall
become an impossibility. Then shall
be only gospel peace, Then all the
people will not: only love the Lord
their God with all their hearts, but
they shall love their neighbors as
themselves. Then war shall be re-
membered as- the sad result of clis-
tensione that are no longer settled
by tlie sword, but are submitted to
the arbitrament of the Prine ' of
Peace. Then the glory e f toe Lord

A condition of indiffenence to

that of Peter, names and John,

true God was fast asleep, and the

12. The night is far spent, tire day

off the works of darkness and let us
put on the armor of light.
We were once darkness, but now
we are light in the Lord, and we
should walk as children of light,
(Eph. v, 8). Light has no fellow-
ship . with. darkness at all. If we
say wo have fellowship with, Him
anti walk in darkness, we lie and do
not speak the truth. Let es there-
fore walk in the light, as He is in
the light (II Cor, vi, 14; / John 1,

the twentieth century since ',Christ
came, it is still the world's right,
arid no amount of progress can

of which the believer is to reckon

plate of faith and love and for a
helmet the hope of salvation (I
Thess. v, 6, 8). Denying ungodliness

also to move mei: as are hi author-

The King comnitatled the bishop,
saying; "I think you mean me, for

So with the help of the King and

of the city, the otelegns eermon

emed that, !The house of the Grey

The influence of this scbool bas

The term "blue -coat" was applied
to the boys of the hospital after the

the present eostuntea gown of blue

Boys aro admitted to the school

WHERE TRE oRritrt CAME FROM
The colonel was entertaining some
of his friends with stories of Army
life, and the talk turned to the in-
flexibility of orders. That remind-
ed the tolonel of Thn Murphy's case.
Murphy had enlisted in the cavalry
service, although he had never been
on a horse la his life. He was tak-
en out,, for drill with other raW re-
cruits under command ot a sergeant,
and, as luck would have it, secured
one of tile worst, kickers in the whole
troop,
• "Now, my men," said the ser-
geant, in addressing them, "no,one
is allowed to dismount withoutor-
ders from a, superior °Meer. Remem-
ber that."
Tim was no sooner in the saddle.
than he was hurled head over heels
in the air, and came down so hard
that the breath was almost knoCk-
ed out,of
"Murphy," shouted the sergeant,
when he discovered the man spread
on the ground, "ybu dismounted!"
"I did:"
"Did you have meters?"
"I did." ,
"From headquarters, I suppose?"
with a seer.
"No, from hindquarters"
"Take him to the guard -house!'
ordered the sergeant. •
she:: "But I would never marry a
maw who loved me for my good
looks." lae: "Of course not, dear.
Lnever thought of such a .thing." • .
"Medicine," says a little girl, to
her playmate, "is something 'that
makes yin: be careful not to catch
cold again."

Lord Carrington tells a good
story of his experiences tvhile Gov-
ernor of New South 'Wales. His float
public appearance was at the
Mayors dinner at Sydney. Ilaving
committed a few words on paper, he
delivered thent in reply to the toast
of his health and then sat down,
feeling very much satisfied with
himself. Opposite him there sat a
fat Mall. He was an Milt who bad
suffered long from the abundant elo-
quence of tbe new Governor's prede-
cessor. When Lord Carrington sat
down the fat mau filled his glass:
to the brim, and said, "Thank
Heaven, he can't speak."
A MILITARY 13AWERY.
The trials which have been now for
a long time carried out in the mill-
tary bakery in Vienna to prepare a
satiefactory biscuit ration for the
army have, it. is stated by an Aus-
trian military journal, been at
length crowned with success. The
characteristic feature in the new
biscuit seems to be that the dough
is rolled out in long thin strips and
then partially baked. The strips are
next cut up into small prisms,
which are made up in a small card -
tabard box. 11 is claimed that the
biscuit thus prepared is more diges-
tible than -the .ordinary form, that
it keeps better, and is protected
from dust and &trap, While the vas
times are more easily served out to
the nAn. An improved bread ra-
tio0 for use in field hospitals and
for issue to convalescents has also
been prepares. Thie so -coifed "bread
censcree" is made of fine wheat meal
milk, eggs, sugar, and aniseed, and
is stated to form both a nourishing
-
and palatable food. '
