When tho army of Antigcnus went into
battle bis soldiers wero very much ciscour-
aged. and they rushed up T. tie general and
said to him: Don't you sec VIC have a few
forces and they have 50 many Inoref and the
/ soldiers were atfrightcl at the smallness Of
their number and the greatness OF the enemy.
/ Antigons1s their commander, Strengthened
himself up and said. with Indignation and
veheincncc. "H0w many 90 you reckon INC
to be" And when We see the vast armies
arraved against tho cause # sobriety II may
sometimes be very disccuraSing. bat | ask

You will take without my saying it that
nv only faith Is in Christianity and in the
