four years of almost continuous war

With our last parting let me impress

to the general government. Sustain
the poor, help the feeble, and succor

Fellow soldiers, with my love and

God, in his infinite mercy and kind

Gen. Gordon 8 Last Words at Appo.
mattOX.

After the death Of General "Stone-
wall Jackson, Gen. John B. Gordon
may be said to have been the Fright
hand" Of General Lee, owing to his
thorough knowledge of strategy, his
habits Of watchfulness Of the move
ments Of the enemy, and the irresisti-
bic dash with which he led his daring
veterans upon the field.
General Gordon was born soldier,
tue son of Mars. He was as mod
est as ne was brave and OF course, in
his recent lectures did not tell of his
own many deeds Of valor, as they were
witnessed or known to the veterans Of
Lees army. I was at Appomattox
and beg leave to mention q few Incl
dents connected With the gallant Cor
don:
BY order Of Surgeon Lafayette
Guild, medical director Of the Army
of Northern Virginia, who had impro-
vised sunll field hospital for the
wounded, Of our last "skirmish" on
the morning of the surrender. On the
day following, while taking little
rest from our labors when in conver.
sation with my brother medical Off Ger,
we were most agreeably surprised by q
salutation from General Gordon as he
rode up to our camp FIRE. General
Gordon and l were college boys to-.
gether at the University of Georgia,
he senior aud freshman. He ad-
dressed me in his old familiar manner:
med, get your horse end ride with
me, am now on my way to make q
last address to my soldiers of the SEQ
oud corps and the right wing Of the
army"
ln few moments we were facing
the soldiers who loved him 80 we'll
and were ever proud to follow him in
battle. Still in his saddle and follow
ed by his staff, all of whom we're
mounted, General Gordon advanced q
pnce to the front, and With all the
winning grace of soldier, removed
his hat sad addressed his veterans. /

form, for the address, with the lapse
Of years is now but memory Of this

The attendance st the Rockefeller
Bible claes yesterday vas the largest
in it's history, almost every seat in
the large auditorium of the Fifth Ave-
nue. Baptist Church being occupied.
Mr. Rockefeller spoke on "Moral
Courage taking his text from the
Apostle Paul's Statement in his de-
fense when on the trial before .he Ro.
man governor, Felix. He said, in
part:
How few of us would have had
the mora! courage to have said what
Paul did if we were placed in the
same position. Now let US define
what moral courage is. It is that
faculty which enables one to do what
is morally right without the slightest
regard to personal consequences. It
puts God and truth and righteousness
before all personal considerations.
Physical courage enables one to face
bodily danger without finching. It
carries man into the storm of shot
and shell without regard to his person
al danger.
"This is admirable in its way, but the
man who would not finch before the
fire of the enemy is often the one who
falls in the hour of moral temptation
because he has not the courage to sey
mo- or breads the sneer or laugh of
wicked companions more than the
disapprovsl Of God. No one without
moral courage can stand firm in the
hour Of temptation or attain that no.
BILE life for which God has made him.
owe are all moral towards, every
one of us. We let opportunities pass
by for fear of the jesrs of our fellow
men. What does their laugh or
sneers amount to? tits only tempo
rary at the best, and you will find
that the man who laughs and sneers
at you to-day for having the moral
courage to stand up for God is the
man who will admire you for it to-
morrow. Down in his heart he knows
you are right and admires you for
your courage.
"Moral cowardice is the opposite Of
moral courage. AS the latter is ad-
mirable and heroic, so the former is
despicable. And yet for lack Of This
quality thousands of people make
wreck of life. If they feared God
half as much as they fear the taunts
of men they would not permit them
selves to be laughed ont Of being true
to themselves and true to God.-New

and no one suspected her identity,
least Of all, Jasper. She endured
without complaint the fatigues Of
marching, the bivouac on the ground,
the coarse, scanty fair, repaid by an
occasional glimpse of her lover. He
was always &C the front and she
always fought b. his eide, hoping to
shield him in case Of danger. Some
times at night, when guns were stack
ed and camp fires low, and the light Of
the stars revealed the weary soldiers
wrapped in their blankets and dream
ing, perhaps, Of home, she stole tc
Jaspers side and watched him as he
slept. On the eve OF grca. battle
she stood watching him, filed with
prescntimento Of coming evil, and pray
ing that he might never know what
she had done for his sake. Her tears
fell upon his face, and fearing to
arouse him, she stole away to weep
through the long hours of the night.

over the spot and Miss St. Clair
fought desperately side by side with
Jasper. The fever Of battle was in
her blood, and she kneV no fear. At
length weapon was levclled ut Jas
per, and she threw herself in front Of
him, receiving the missile in her own
breast and falling at Jasper'e feet.
AS he held her in his arms, her beau
tiful dark eyes glazing in death fixed
upon his, her life blood gushing rap.
idly away, he learned for the first
time Of all she had dared and endured
for loves sake. With her lovers
arms about her, and the missile still
in her breast, in the midst of surging
aud charging infantry and cavalry,
with the boom of cannon growing dull
er to her dying ears, she gave up her
life gladly for him who had once saved
hers.
She was buried in quiet grave by
the Santee river with all the honors
due soldier. The entire brigade
stood with barred heads as the gun was
fired above her, and many tear was
shed for her by the rude men who had
been her comrades.
After this Jasper fought more reck-
lcssly than ever, distinguishing him
self a number Of times. A sword was
presented to him for his rescue of
flag shot away from the ramparts Of
Fort Moultrie. He met his death in
raising the flag on the fort in Savan-
nah. Three men had lost their lives
in the desperate attempt before he
made it and succeeded, thus immor-

TIE LOVE STORY OF SERGEANT JAS
The story of the love Of Sally St.
Clair aud Sergeant Jasper is brief,
touching and tragic. Jasper was q
hero Of the American Revolution and
belonged to the famous band of Ma.
rion, the "Swamp Fox" Of rather
humble origin and limited education,
his talents aud unparalleled bravery
procured his rapid advancement,
Early in the struggle he saved the life
of Sally St. Clair, beautiful young
Southern girl with flashing brown eyes
and curling dark hair. Cupid hides
in the folds Of battle flags and love
ripens more rapidly when the air vi
brates with the martial notes of the
bugle, aud the blood s,irs briskly in
time to fife and drum-when today
only is sure and tomorrow may Garry
the lover away to glory or death. IN
this case Miss St. Clair's gratitude
Was also potent factor.
Their love Was soaroely declared
when Marion's band was ordered into
action and they parted with oil the
anguish which lovers must feel in the
face Of such uncertainty. For him
there was excitement, action, achieve
ment ahead, and for her inaction, un.
certainty and tedious waiting. This
state Of affairs became uncomfortable,
and she made desperate resolve, lit.
