Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-04-13

johnston the Confederates had lost a
chieftain who had justified the con-
fidence of his troops by leading them
to victory. Grants army. driven from
its camps. lay in the open in a pitiless
rain around the landing on Tennessee
river, which had barely been saved
from capture by the Confederates
The soldiers of the enemy slept in the
tents of Grants captured camps. Gen
eral BeaureSard, the Confederate lead
er who took command after Johnston's
fall. rested in the tent formerly occu-
pied by Sherman. near the little log
rhapel of Shiloh, which gave the name
10 the battlefield.
On the field where they had been
shot down during the fighting of Sun
day lay 10000 or 1900 dead or wound
ed men IN blue and gray. Over 1000
Federal prisoners from the divisions
OF Prentiss and W. II. L. Wallace were
under guard near the headquarters
of Beauregard, at Shiloh church. Prem
tiss met some of his old acquaintances
among his captors. During the night
of gloom he kept his poise and said to
the exulting Confederates, You. gem
tlemen. have had your way today, but
Buell. will effect junction with Grant
tonight, and We'll turn the tables on
you in the morning"
"There Is Buellr
Early on Monday morning the rattle
of musketry and the boom of guns off
toward the Landing signaled a renewal
of the battle, and Prentiss exclaimed:
"Ah! Didn't 1 tell you so? There is
Buell"' Throughout the night of Sun
| day steamers of all descriptions had
been at work ferrying the divisions
of BuelTs Army of the Ohio across the
| Tennessee river to reinforce Grant
The divisions of General 4. Med. Nc
Cook and General L. L. Crittenden all
crossed during the night and marched
! to the front, where the most active
! Confederates had been seen when
night closed in on the 9Th. This was

Landing. the left wing of the Federal
army as it went into battle on the 9TH,

April Z, was traversed by a road lead
| ing from the landing to Shiloh church
/ and beyond to Corinth. Corinth, Miss,
/ twenty-three miles from PittsburS
/ Landing, was the point aimed at by
| Grant when he could get his army,
with Buell'S re-enforcements, in hand.
! From CCrinth the Confederates had
marched stealthily northward to over

along the COrinth roads back to the

Grand Countercharge.

Sherman received orders from Grant
at daylight on the It'll to advance and
recapture his ground of the day before
around Shiloh church. He waited I'M
til 10 O'Clock, when the sound of the
guns on the left, where Buell. was ad-
vancing, told him that the Army Of the
Ohio was driving the Confederates
back along the road to Shiloh church.

CIernand gave way at ESQ p. m. at
4:30 General W. II. Hurlburt's Federal
division lost its advanced camp. and
at nightfall all that remained in fight
ing trim of Grants army was concen-
trated in the original camps Of ". 81.
L. Wallace's division, which was near
est to Pittsburg Landing The battle
field was in possession of the Confed-
crates.
When the attack began there was a
wide gap between Sherman and Prem
tiss- The retreat of these two divisions
in the same general direction drew
the lines together. Later in the day
the retreat of Hurlburt left a gap be-
tween the lines of McClernand and W.
II. l. Wallace, and the Confederates
poured through, capturing Prentiss
and over 1900 Of his command; also
part of Wallace's division.
Sherman's division appears to have
been completely disorganiZed in get
ting back to a new position-that is
to say, the units did not fight together.
Prentiss' division was driven from its
camp. but Prentiss rallied the COM
mand regiment by regiment and form
ed a new line. Grant ordered him TO
hold the second line at all hazards.
and he fought till overwhelmed and
captured.
The key to the last position held by
Wallace and Hurlburt on the flank of
Prentiss was thicket on the crest of
a hill. In front was an open field
swept by Federal batteries. For five
hours the Confederates hurled brigade
after brigade upon the thicket, and all
were repulsed with frightful carnage.
At last the reserves of Breckenridge
were called in to make last attempt.
Johnston saw the desperate situation
and said: They are making a stub
born fight here. l shall have to put
the bayonet to them" Several regi-
ments charged into the field, but re-
coiled under the fire.
The Confederate Leader Killed.
One of Breckinridge's Tennessee
regiments halted at the edge. of the
field and refused to go in. Breckin-
ridge and Governor Harris of Ten
nessee, who was present, appealed in
vain. Johnston then rode out on his
magnificent thoroughbred charger,
Fire Eater, spoke a few words OF en-
couragement to the hating Tennes-
seeans and said, II will lead you" At
| this signal two whole brigades rushed
across the field. shouting wildly as
/ they met the storm of lead from the
crest The charge went home. The
/ enemy turned and retreated One of
! the straying bullets fired in retreat
struck Johnston. and in an hour be
was dead. But the hill. the Hornets
/ Nest had fallen. Prentiss was cut
/ off from help; likewise part of W. II.
/ L. Wallace's line.
The Confederates say that the stub
born fighting Of Prentiss after he had
been flanked by the loss of the "Hor-
nets Nest" saved Grants army. Inele
was lull in the attack after Johnston
fell, and General Braxton Bragg re-
| opened the fight by falling upon Prem
tiss and Wallace with his Confederate
corps. These two generals fought
Bragg until the case seemed hopeless,
and then Wallace led his men back in
an attempt TO cut his way to the Land
ing. He was killed. and Prentiss.
finding himself alone and hopelessly
beset, surrendered his whole command

and has allowed the cares of life and
the deceitfulness of riches to choke and
frustrate his prospects of the Kingdom
is represented in this parable.
~ According to the parable there will
be one class who will attain. the King
dom in the sense that they will bring
forth the kind Of fruitage acceptable to
the Lord; but the difference will be in
the amount of fruitage-some thirty.
some sixty and some hundred fold. a.
The Lord does not explain the, differ,
ence between these fruitages, but, the
fully appreciative and loving will be
the most energetic to know and to do
the Masters will, and will bring forth
the largest fruitage and will have the
chief places in the Kingdom. 1-
st. Paul declares that as star differs
from star in glory, SO 1t win be Yith
those who attain unto the First ,Resur.
rection. Jesus assured James and John
that. If they were willing to drink OF
His cup and be baptized into His death,
they should surely sit with Him in !
His Throne; but as to the chief places
Of honor, it was not for Him to say,
Those places will be given according
to principles Of Justice and Of merit. :,

islands. 1t was the Italian ship Anita,
built In Genoa in 1548. and almost an
exact duplicate Of tho Santa Maria,
the famous galleon in which Columbus
made his voyage of discovery. The
Anita was built for strength rather
than grace or speed. broad beamed and
clumsy, but had weathered hurricanes
and typhoons In all parts Of the globe,
and escaped unharmed from the perils
Of tho deep from Cape Horn to Hud-
son bay. She had worlds record,
az tho slowest ship afloat, averaging
2ob days between Baltimore, Md, and
Rio de Janeiro. As her lack Of speed
was losing money to her owner, and

as long as she remained ahoat, 1t was
decided to sell her for what she would
bring piecemeal, and use the money

the Kingdom, but it was not to be un-
derstood by outsiders. 1t was for this
reason that Jesus spoke in parallels, be-
cause the masses even Of the Jews were
not in n heart condition to understand.
Only such persons as were willing to
undertake the stringent conditions Of
the marrow way" were to fully and
clearly understand the parallels This
is in harmony with all Of Gods deal
ings in the present time. We read,
"The secret Of the Lord Is with them
that reverence Him. and He will show
them His Covenant"
In Verse 13 the Master indicates
that this parable would serve as a gen
eral key to the Interpretation of all His
parallels Seed" does not mean literal
seed. birds do not mean birds.
''thorns" do not mean thorns. etc.
Proceeding, the Great Teacher ex-
pounded the parable as follows:
Seed Represents the Kingdom Message.
Q The seed that was sown repre-
sents the Word of God: 1t repre-
sents that particular feature Of Gods

This is shown by St Matthews ac-
count of the same parable. (Matthew
xiii, 19D Our lesson says that the
Wicked One is Satan. Satan and his
evil agents are therefore represented
in the parable by birds" and the i'm
port is that we lose the benefit Of that
which we do not understand.

the world. And how great Is the priv
ilege of becoming members of the
Bride of Christ to be associated with

class represented have little depth Of
character; they are merely emotional.
When they find that the good Seed
of the Kingdom is unpopular and that
it will bring them a certain amount of
reproach and contempt and perhaps
persecution, the Kingdom Message
fails to produce in them the fruitage
desired. o.
