One Of Frederick the Greats best
Generals was Hans Joachim Won Zie.
ten, commonly known in Prussia as
Father Zieten," or the "Hussar
King"
Aietcn was never ashamed Of his
faith. On every occasion he professed
it, before high and low. Once he de.
clined an Invitation to come to his royal
masters table, because on that day he
wished to present himself at the table
Of his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
II was sacrament day The next time
be appeared at the palase, the King,
whose insdel tendencies were well known
made use Of some profaoe expressions
about the holy communion Of the Lords $
Supper, and the other guests laughed.
Zieten shook his grey head solemnly,
stood up, saluted the King and then
said, with firm voice
"Your Majesty knows we'll, that in
war have never feared any danger, and
everywhere have boldly risked my life
for you and my country. am still an
mated by the same spirit, and today,
if il were necessary, and your Majesty

at your feet, But there is One above

time, the welfare of the State. This
is undoubtedly true. salute your
Majesty
The noble old soldier having thus
concluded his bold testimony for his
Divine Master, of whom he was not
ashamed, sat down.
This open confession Of his Savior
immediately silenced the seoffers, and
evidently made q powerful impression
on the King. lie felt he had been
