IT has been said that the days of
dashing cavalrymen win soon -
over and that the art Of riding win
become rs purely q pastime - the
arr Of sailing IL destined to become
by reason of the introduction Of
steam. This opinion In combated
very vigorously by Major Kunz In
his "Kriegs- Geschichtliohe Belt
rage" He believes that the uses Of
cavalry have been changed, but that
its existence il not yet endangered.
On the other hand, he points out
that mere mounted men, as against
highly trained riders under the very
best leaders. are absolutely 1Saless
today. Commenting upon the many
brilliant though unfortunate caval-
~ attacks executed by the French
In 1870, he says:
"First.-A frontal attack Of cav
airy against victorious infantry can
only be justified when the aim ia 70

the beaten army. The success Of
such an attack IL practically impos-

Second. d.-Momentary success OF

An infantry which has suffered

and the readers of the Dispatch are

there Is something about this institution

In a special way.
FOUNDED IN FAITH.
About three years ago a lady OF this
CITY determined to carry out plan
that had been in her heart for some
years of doing something in the way or
providing a home for children who need
"a one. A small place in Chesterfield
county was dedicated TO God for THIS
purpose, and though there were many
needs to supplied, and nothing to supply
them. there was the full BELIEF that ths
thoughts OF doing the work were Hea-
ven-born, and that the One Who gave
them would likewise give the means 10
carry on the work; and that, too, with
out making appeals, public or private
for any donations.
There was one small dwelling on the
Mace hut Il was too small for the pur-
nose. SO the nrst step Of faith was to
start to building what was needed: After
prayer the work was begun, aud week
by week. as money was needed TO pay
the workmen, IT was sent, until tnat
much was done. Since then and in the
same way. more has been done, until at
nresent there are three small cottages,
in addition to the main house, which
contains ten rooms.
Then came the matter OF Inmates ana
helpers in the work The latter presenter

was needed, but there was no money t0
buy, but before another change In th6
weather came some beautiful quilts we're
sent by a friend, no one having been
told OF the need. on another occasion
some clothes were sent that were nos

child applied for admission. The little
one was received and IL was found that
the clothes fitted the newcomer as we'll
as though made for her.
1--WE have greater cause for thankfuls
ness. for answered prayer. for spiritual
blessings, than for material things. Ths
second year in the home there was not
q protesting Christian among the chill
dren. and some were old enough to un-
derstand such things. Very earnest
prayer was offered for their salvation
for several weeks, but no special EFFORT
made TO arouse their interest In the mat
ter beyond the usual Bile instruction
One morning at our quiet family worship
one OF the boys burst into tears and con-
fessed his sinfuiness and need OF Sa-
viour He became an earnest worker
among the other children. In a few weeks
all who were old enough TO understand
spiritual things had given their hearts
TO Christ"
That this IL not mere emotion IL evi-
dent TO the spirltually-minded visitor. In
fact. one Of the most noticeable things
In the home Is the eager interest this
children take in spiritual things Every
Sunday they are ready for SUNRISE
prayer-meetlng. Some OF them, when
sick. take their trouble directly to the
Great Physician, and are healed without
material aid.
DISCIPLINE OF THE HOME.
The discipline Of the home. too. is ex-
cellent. The writer was impressed with
the behavior OF the children once when
there at dinner time About twenty chill
dren were I'm the adjoining ROOM but
after they had sung verse and asked
the blessing there was scarcely a sound
to be heard, though only a door sepa-
rated the two rooms. They are taught
industry. also. All who are large enough
have specified duties For though the
spiritual needs OF the children are put
first at all times, and u life OF fun
trust I'm God is thoroughly taught. there
IS full recognition OF tho need for
practical and thorough training In indus
try and manual work.

the greatest difficulty for there was not

support could be offered. But before long
three children. then four more. who full
