A SERMON TO MEN.

and Of their heroic deeds. but when
where and how has this generation
proved its vaior? 1t comes with very
bad grace from any old veteran to pre-
vent his son from showing that he in
herlts the prowcss of bis father.
Does any one still bear a grudge
against the Moth for what happened
in the civil war? Why Lord help US
il the Yankees had had the ucgroe.
and the farms and the hot sun and we
had bad the whites and the factories s
and the cold climate, they would have
seeded and We would have whipped
them back into the Union Il sight
quicker than they did us.
How many civil wars did Rome
have, and what old Roman ever bore
an eternal grudgc against some section
Of his country? How many civil wars
did Palestine have? There was very
little love slost between the people Of
Galilee and the people of Jerusalem,
aud yet we find Jesus, the Galilean,
uttered this burst of patriotism: go
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that kill
est the prophets and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, now often
would | have gathered thy children
toge cher even as hen gathereth her
chickens under her wing, and We
would not.
When / listen to some OF the older
people talk al ,ut this present war
am reminded Of a comic paper illus-
tration. An old man, evidently in

Confederate tell how some one had
shot off Il par. Of his ear ct close
quarters during the war. The Yank,
coming smilingly forward with out
stretched hand. is saying, ~ was that
man; shake. The old Rcb says,
"You are, durn you! you're tie man
