Verses 1S-21.-Joy and misery.
Many members Of the church in
Asia Minor had only recently come out
Of the darkness of paganism. 1t was
not to be expected that they had who'll
ly recovered from the bad effects Of
their former living, nor indeed had
they adequately adjusted themselves
to the Christian standards. ut took
centuries for Christianity to disengage
itself from Its surroundings and to re-
make society and the rules Of life"

an idea of the conditions on the mis-
sion field of the first century. BE not

their perilous temptations, and they

In 1858 was detailed on court mar
tial to sit at Nashville for the purpose
of trying cases of delinquency that had
occurred in the Army Of the Cumber-
land. One young fellow. Sergeant Mil.
ton Troop, who was brought before us,
engaged my attention the moment l
saw him. His bearing was soldierly,
and his countenance bore the stamp Of
a strong character. He was charged
with desertion to the enemy.
His disappearance occurred while his
regiment was in proximity to the Con-
federates. Later on the command at
tackled and surprised small body OF
the enemy, taking a number Of prison
ers, among them the accused. His sto-
~ was that on the evening Of his dis
appearance he had pointed out to his
captain that the command was liable
to be surrounded by the enemy. The
captain had declared that there was no
enemy near. Troop offered to ride out
and reconnoiter. The captain gave his
consent. Troop had not gone far be-
fore he was called upon from the rear
to surrender. He had ridden between
the enemy's vedettes.
The captain, Croker, being called,
fatty denied the whole story, declared
that he had had no such warning and
had not given the sergeant permission
or orders to scout. The matter rested
on a question of veracity between the

scrap Of paper found in his knapsack
on which was written, Meet me to-

handwriting was manifestly- disguised
it was impossible to tell whether the
writer was man or woman. At the
time the message was written the loca-
ton described was within the enemy's
lines. When asked to explain this pa
per the prisoner at first refused to do
SO, but afterward said that he had
formed the acquaintance of a young
country girl. who had appointed the
meeting.
The captains evidence was so direct
and the accused's explanation so lame
that he was found guilty and sentenced
to be shot. AS he was led away he
made an exclamation which convinced
me of his innocence:
