 This will explain why Pitt rose SC highly in the estimation of all the citizens of Great Britain. His con quests. or more correctly the con- quests under his administration ad- ded immehsely to the wealth of the country. This will explain why such jreu,adous credits were passed with sa much ease oy parl.amea,s which had bagrudged scanty pen sions .uort time before.

 It is true that a good many made the triumphs of Prussia d triumph for Professionalism and democracy, and one of Whitfteld's hearers in the London Tabernacle echoed a general popular sentiment when he declared that The Lord stirred up the King of Prussia to pray. They kept three fast days, and spent about an hour praying and singing psalms before engaging the enemy. 0. how good it is to prey and fight That man was genuine preparedness sup porter.
