NOBLE SENTIMENT

One Of the most eloquent Ken
tuckians is Mr.. Henry Waiter
son of the Louisville Courier
Journal. AS an editor he has for
a long time been placed among
the few great ones. Although his
speaking ability is not so widely
known as his power TO fascinate
and instruct with bis pen, his ca
pabilitieS on the platform are
hardly secondary to those he dis
plays from the tripod. The great
editor WAS recently called upon to
address the Kentucky volunteers
at Lexington, Ky. What lie said
there is worthy of place in any
home in America. We would
| like much to give his entire speech
! to the readers of the w ITNESS, but
Of course we are limited to a few
| thoughts. Mr.. WatterSon SAID to
! the soldiers: "G Ou are going to
! fight "A battle WageG by man for
man. You are going, therefore,
in the name of that Christ who
died for men. You are going to
! fight a battle for the glory Of God
and your native land. You are
going, therefore. under a flag
which, the symbol at once of free
dom and humanity, and having
Cod : blessing upon 1t, has never
yet known defeat. Look to 1t
that you carry yourselves as sol
dlers equally Of the cross and OF
the flag
What nObler sentiment than
that given by the Kentucky editor
could be expressed: 1t sounds
like a voice from the cruSadeS.
We do not know that Mr.. Wat
terSon is "a protesting Christian,
but he talks like one in the above.
He at least has recognized that
no American can be good Chris
tian who is not a good patriot.
He shows this by what be says
further: 'NO man can be a good
soldier who is not at heart a good
man. StIf-pOSSeSSiOn in the pres
ence of danger is the truest cOur-
age, and he is the braVeSt soldier
who keeps his head, who knows
perfectly the right thing to do,
. and who does 1T. 1t is the sense
, Of duty which Will ma Ike you, men:
duty to the flag above you: duty
to the country aud honor. and &c
those dear ones at home WHO will
, follow you with ever fearful, but
with ever frightening eyes. Ohe-
dienCe, submission, is the first AND
perhaps the hardest of the sol
) dierS duties. II the officers seem
J capriciouS, or tyrannOuS, do youl

of YOU: though | would rather Sc,

brave and lovely sailor lad whom
North Carolina has Just given NJ
