~ URING the last session Of the
General Assembly we had the
pleasure OF recommending the
granting OF an appropriation sufficient
to cover the proper expenses Of the Ma
tional Guard and TO provide for a week
in camp.
The annual outing is at hand and
most Of our citizen-soldiers have re-
ported for duty and are now inhabitants
Of the city Of tents which has sprung
up in a day at cooch's Bridge
This weeks outing win do them good
Life in the open air. with drills and
exercises and wholesome diet will in
crease their stock Of nerve and muscle
add to their powers Of endurance and
allow them to return from their weeks
outing a little better in every respect
Yet this is not what the state pays
for. 1t is concerned with the military
excellence Of these citizen soldiers, and
to give them training and experience
and add to their efficiency this camp
Of instruction has been designed. There
is a fiction which is often repeated.
that American raw recruits make the
best soldiers in the world. and we are
told that It is because they are intelli-
gent and yaiorous. This fiction fire.
quently is responsible Tor the assump-
ton that our standing army is a need
less expense, and that it is unneces-
sary to keep well-tralned militia.
AS matter Of fact, the raw re-
cruits OF America do make excellent
soldiers but they must FIRST undergo a
certain amount Of training. This they
absorb in a remarkable short time, but
training is indispensable. It took a
Mcclellan a long time to lick the raw
recruits into shape ere we could meet
the armies Of the South with any as
surance Of success.
We never expect war; we are never
looking for rioting or other internal
troubles but occasionally they come.
and then we must be prepared. It is
something TO know that we have hve
or six hundred men trained and
equipped ready at a moments notice to
respond at the call Of the Governor
Il is possible for the civil machinery at
any moment TO break down. Courts
have found in times past that they
we're unable 10 enforce their DEGREES
Then we want guns with trained men
behind them. and we want them at
once.
But this military training may be
more useful than we think. In the
ranks are men who need only oppor-
tunity TO command companies. should
it be necessary to go on a war foot
ing and should this require an enlarge
ment Of our military force. many Of
these enlisted men could put on
shoulder straps and command as in
telligentgy as they have learned 20 obey
absolutely.
SO we wish for our soldier boys an
enjoyable week. May they have a good
time while learning more of the duties
Of a soldier And may they never be
called to shed blood less innocent than
that Of the Delaware mosquitoes.

During tha claudlan persecution. Val

prison where many other Christians were

and a youth to whom she was betrothed.
Valentine was noted. even among hts
conpeers OF the early church, for his
gentlencss, his tenderness and his love
for all humanity and especially for hts
love OF the very young, mono Of whom
ever found him Indifferent TO thelrSgriev-
ances. real or fancied. or unsympathetic
when they sought his help.
In the gloomy prison he quickly became
the spiritual head of the Respondent band
of Christian prisoners. Ills faith and
huoyant cheerfulness cheered and IN
spired them:, his hymns OF praise filled
their hearts with courage and took away
their gloomy forcbod!ngs.
The Christian maiden and her bctrothed
were the sole survivors OF their respec-s
tive families who had pcrished IN the
persecution. The day came when they
stood before the good Bishon Valentine
and prayed him to mako them man and
wife, even though the prison walls shut
them In and death threatened them At
every hour.
The gentle priest yielded to their prayer
and at the midnlg ht hour; wit b o little

performed and the words spoken which
united the lovers forever.

They were sent to the arena together
