Nineteenth century. in some respects
the most tremendous battle ever fought,

wounded. the fields for miles around
strcwn with a dead soldiery from
whom all traces of humanity had been
dashed out, there met in the public
square of that city of Leipsic the allied
conquerors and kings who had gained
the victory-tEe king of Prussia, the
emperor OF Russia, the crown prince Of

quered for the truth and in front of the
palace Of heaven the kings and con-
querors of all the allied powers of
Christian usefulness shall salute each
other and recount the struggles by
Which they gained the triumph and
then hand over their swords to him
who is the Chief of the conquerers,

crown of dominion. the crown OF grace,
