In our school books we learned that—"for want of a
nail the shoe was lost—for want of a shoe, the horse was
lost—and for want of a horse the battle was lost."
Yes, often something that seems relatively small is the
hinge upon which a major event hangs. To-day, we all
desire that our boys overseas shall return home quickly
—but it is only by every one of us doing the utmost in our
power that this desire will become an accomplishment.
