In his latest sermon at washington

text being from Samuel, XX.24 n
his part is that goeth down to the
battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth
by the stuff" DIR. Talmage said:
If you have never seen an army
change quarters, you have no idea OF
the amount of baggage-twenty loads,
fifty loads, n hundred loads of bag
gage. David and his army were about
to start ont on n doubie-quick march
for the recovery of their captured fam
lilies from the Amalekites. SO they
left by the brook Besor their blankets,
their knapsacks, their baggage, and
their carriages. Who shall be
detailed to watch this stuff!
There are sick soldiers, and wound
ed soldiers, and aged soldiers, who
are not able to go on swift military ex-
petitions, but who are able to do some
work, and SO they are detailed to
watch the baggage. There is many a
soldier who is not strong enough to
march thirty miles in n day and then
plunge into a ten hours fight, who is
able, with drawn sword lifted against
his shoulder, to pace up and down as a
sentinel to keep off an enemy who
might put a torch to the baggage.
There are 200 of those crippled and
aged and wounded soldiers detailed to
watch the IA some NJ them 7
