In a battle during our last war the Certr federates were driving back the Federals; who were in swiftretreat, when a Federal officer dropped wounded. One of his men .stopped at, the risk of his life and -put 1114 aims around the officer to carry him from the field. Fifty Confederate muskets were aimed alb° yam* man who was picking up the officer. But the Confederate cap- tain Shouted: "Hold! Don't fire. That follow is too bravo t� be shot." And as the Federal officer, held up by his privata soldier, went limping slowly off the fleld tho Co.nfederatea gave three cheers' for the brave private, and just before the two diai appeared:behind a barn both the wounded officer and the bravo priaate . lifted- their capsla gratitude te the Confederate cap tain. 1 a Shall the gospp • e less generous than '1 3, the 'World? We Staok arms, the bayonet° our northern gun.facing this way, the bay- onet of tho southern gun facing the other way, and as the gray of the morning melts Into tho blu-o of noon so the typical gray, and blue. of old war times have blended at' last, and they quote in the language Of King.james' translation without any re- vision, "Glory to God in the highest, and i on earth Peace, good wH1 to men." .Now,1 What do we mean by this groat observance? First., we mean instruction to One whole generation. Substract 1865, when the war . ended, from our 1806,and you will realize what a vast number of people wore born since tho,war or wed so young as to have no -vivid appreciatiOn. No ono under 41 years of ago has any adequate memory of that prolonged horror. Do you remember it? "Well," you say, "I only remember that mother swooned away while She was reading the newspaper, and that they brought niy father „home wrapped , in the flag, and that a good manipeople came in the hone° to pray, and mother faded away after that until again there were- many people in the house,and they told me she was dead," , - ! • There aro others who cannot remember the roll of a drum or the tramp of a regi- ment or a sigh or a tear of that tornado of woo that swept -the nation again and again until there was ono dead in each house. Now it is tho religious duty of those who do remember it to tell those who do not. My young friends, there were such part- ings at rail car windows and steamboat _wharfs and at front doors of comfortable homes as I pray God you may -never. wit- ness. Oh, what a time it was, when .fa- thers and mothers gave up their sons, never expecting to seo thein again and never did ' see them again ontiltheyeame book inuti- lated and crushed and dead. .. A Glance at the Past. • Four years of blood. Four years of hos- tile experiences. Four years of . ghastli- ness. Four years of gravedigging. Four years of funerals, coffins, shrouds, hearses, dirges. Mourning, mourning, mourning! It was holl let loose. What a time of Waiting for news! Morning paper and evening paper scrutinized for Intelligence from the -boys at the front. First, an- nouncement, that the battle must occur the next day. • Then the news of the battle going on. On the following daystill going on. Then news of 80,000 slain and of the names -of the great generals who had fallen, but no news about the private soldiers. Waiting for news! After many days' a load of wounded going through the town or.city, but no news Min our boy. Then a long list of wounded and a long list of the dead end a long list of the missing. Aad among the last list our boy. When missing? How missing? Who saw him last? Missing! Missing! Was he in the woods or by tho stream? How was he hurt? Missing! Missing! 'Atha burning prayers that ho may yot bo heard from. In that awful waiting for now many a life.porished. The strain of anx iety was too great. 'That wife's brain gavo way that first weekafter tho battle and over and anon sho walks the floor of the_ asylum or looks out of the window as though she expected EOM° one to come along tho .path and up the steps as she soliloquizes, "Missing; missing." What mado matters Worse, allthis might have been avoided. There was DO more need of that war than at this inotnent I should plunge dagger through • your heart. Thero. wore a. few Christian phi- lanthropists in those days, scoffed at both by north and south, who had tho right of • It. . If they had been heard on both sides, 'WO should have had no war and no slavery. It was advised by those Christian philan- thropists, "Let the north pay in money for tho slaves as property and set thorn. free." Tho north said, "We cannot afford to pay." The south ,said, "We will not sell thesslaves anyhow." But the north did pay in war expenses enough to pur- ehase.the slaves, and the south was corn- - palled to give up slavery anyhow. Might not.tho north better have paid the mouey and'saved the 'Ives of 600,000 brave men, and might not the south better have sold out slavery and saved her 600,000 brave mon? I swear you by the graves of your fathers and brothers and sons to a new hatred for the clan -Upton curse of the nai- ve:me-war. 0 Lord Godevrith the hot- test bolt of thine oinnipetent indignation strike that monster down forever and ever. Imprison it In tho deepest dungeon of the eternal penitentiary. Bolt it in with aIl the iron ever forged in cannon or molded into howitzers.

In the tune of the millions of graves of its v Odin°, I de- nounce it. Tho nations no d more the spirit of treaty and less of the pirit of war. Why War Is Detestable. War is more ghastly now than 021CO, not only beeense of the greater de tructivenese, of its weaponry, but because ow 17:,- takes down the best mon, whereas o ce itphiefly took down the event. Bruce, in 1717, in his "Institutions of Military Law," said of the European armies of his pay, "If all W00110115 persons and 61101i aS have com- mitted capital crimes, heretics, atheists and all dastardly feminine • men,,. were weeded out of the army, it would soon bo reduced to a pretty moderate number." Flogging and mean pay mado them still more ignoble. Officers wore ppointed to see that each soldier drank his ration of a • pint of spirits a day. • There vore noble men in battle, but the moral c erector of the atony then was 05 per cent lower than the moral character of an arrn3f today. By so much is.war now the mor detestable because it destroys the picked nen of the nations. • Again by this natienal desesmony we moan to honor courage. Many of these departed soldiers were volunteers, not con- scripts, and many of those vvlict were draft- ed might have provided a substitute or got off on furlough or have deserted. The .fact that they lie in their graves is proof of their bravery. Brave at the front, brave at the cannon's mouth, brave on lenely pick- et duty, brave in cavalrycharge, bravo be- fore the surgeon, bravo in the dYing mess- age to the honie circle. Wo yesterday put a garland on the brow of courage. The world wants more of it. The church of God is in wean1 need of men Who can stand under fire. The lion of worldly derision roars and the sheep tremble. In great- reformatorY movements; at the hrst shot how many fall back. The groat obstacle to the churoh'is advance- ment is tho inanity,' the vacu4y, the soft prettiness, the nambY panohyisM of pro- fessed Christians. Great on a parade, cow- ards in battle. Afraid of -go ting their plumes ruffled, they carry a, pa asol over their helmet. They go into battl not with warriors' gauntlet but with k d gloves, not clutching tho sword hilt tod tight lest the glove split at the back. In all our reformatory and Christian work the great want is more backbone, more mettle, more daring, More prowess. We would in all our churches lik-e to trade off a hundred do nothings for one do every- thing. "Quit yourselves like men; he strong. " Thy Saints in all.tbis glorious war • Shall conquer, though they 4io. They sco the triumph from a ar • And seize it with their eye. Self Sacrifice. • Again we mean by this natio al observ- ance to honor self sacrifice for o hers. To all these departed men home an kindred were as dear as our home and kindred aro to us. Dolyou-know how they elt.? Just as you and I would feel starting out to- morrow morning with nine chances out of ten. against our returning alive, for the intelligent, soldier sees not only battle ahead, but malarial sickness and exhaus- tion. Had these men ChOSOD, hey could have spentlast night in their homes and today have .boon seated _where you are. They chose the camp, not because they liked it bettor than th.eir own bouse, and followed the drum and fife, not because they were better nnisic than tho voices of Murfreesboro and the swamps o Chioka- the domestic circle. South Mou tain -and hominy were not playgrounds. These heroes risked and 1esi all for others. There is no higher suhli ity than that. To .lasep three-qoartersfor ourselves and give one-quarter to others .i. honora- ble. To divide even -with others is goner,- ous. To k -cep nothing for our elves and give all for others is snagnanimi y Christ - like. Put a girdle around your body and then measuto the girdle and see if you are 50 or e0 Inc GS round.
