around his head, saw civilian on tho
field He said to him; " Sir what arc you
doing heret Be Oft" "Why, replied tho
civilian, there is no more danger here for
me than thoro is for you Then yelling
ton flushed up and said, God and my
country demand that DO here, but you
have no orrand here"
Now |, as an officer in the army of Je-
sus Christ, went on that exploration and
onto that battlefield. If you bear like
commission, co. If not. stay away, But

the description of those places induces peo-
pie to 40 and re for theinsnlvesr' nm

Of yellow fever In some scourged city would
induce people TO 90 down there and get
