tween his father and a Methodist circuit
rider IN which the prophecy was made
that war was imminent between the
North and South
Dr. Steel dwelt az length on the idea
that prevailed among the people living
in the section where he resided, Of how
easily the Yankees would be beaten and
OF the short duration OF the war. he
remarked.
If we had had half as much knowledge
Of each other before the war as we had
after. we would have adopted some other
method OF settling the difficulty. The
North never cid whip the South. the men
were not whipped-they were just over
come"
This statement was received with tre-
! mendous applause.
Continuing, DR.. Steel said: I'VE. the
South, woke up to find that the war was
no holiday sffair. but a terrible reality
| In conclusion DR.. Steel said: when
God was making the world He put the
finishing touches on Dixie
