Quaker from Charlotte were drafted for
she Union army. They objected strenu-
ously to enlistment In their company, on
account of the article in their creed which
opposes war. They had to go to the front,
but they would not fight; I'm fact, they
would not even take up their rifles and
go through the manual of arms. Corpor-
ais, sergeants, even their company Off
GERS. could not make them drill.
Finally the case came to the attention
of President Lincoln. The great emanci-
pator was much Interested in the matter.
He saw clearly that this was no instance
OF mere INSTRUMENTATION, and he admired
the mistaken devotion to principle shown
by the two Vermonters. At first he was
al a loss to decide what should be done.
To permit the men to leave the ranks and
return home would be to establish a pre-
cedent that was unthinkable Finally the
Yankee wit OF the martyr president solv-
ed the problem. The two men were trans
ferred to the hospital corps, where they
served ably and faithfully, and in ac
cordance with the dictates of conscience.

note when he said: What Is a benefit to

animates both communities.
Mr. Byrnes told his hearers many things

mont does need to wake up and
this advice has been given very
freely of late. The encouraging future
of the matter is that Vermont is waking
Up. The new progressive spirit that is
shown is a very hopeful indication of
better days to come.
It Is well to emphasize the fact that

1t Is interesting to learn from a man
