was one of these events which has
changed the career and altered the pre-
1t conceived destiny of thousands of men
1t in this country Man proposes and
y God disposes, - is an apticrism as true as
= the paper on which these lines are writ
d ten. l have only to go back in memory
to my early years to verify this assertion.
- All of the plans that my imagination had
mapped out for my future career were
y blasted and scattered to the four winds
n of heaven. An altogether new era dawn
ed upon my mind and has since been
carried ont in my life. The most of
those who are drafted into the army feel
r the change keenly or will feel it, but go,
: you soldiers, and do YOUR duty and in
the merry days to come, when cruel war
is over, you NAV be able to recount your
experience on the battle field of France. |
