Lesson the second: The triumph of the
wicked is short Did yea ever see an army

liable. IL you had stood at Long Bridge
Washington, during the opening Of our sad
civil war, you would know what it is to see
en- army run. And when those men of All
looked out and saw those men of Joshua in a
stampede, they expected easy work. They
would scatter them as the equinox the
leaves o, the gleeful and jubilant de-
scent OF the men OF Al upon the men
of Joshua! But their exhilaration was
| brief, for the tide OF battle turned,
and these quondan conquerers left their

Bethaven- So it always Is. The triumph Of
the wicked is short You make SIC, 900 at the
