As for duty the soldier had put that word
where IL never WAS before, aud he obeyed
because those above him had a right to
command. There was, asserted tho speak
er. no more important lesson for the PEG
pie 10 learn than that OF obedience. The
centurion had given the best analysis OF
obedience.
Major Stiles then aitested 10 the respon-
