of Bishop Batterton and his brave
allies whose love of country is su
! premely above the sordid things Of
| life.
Bishop Batterton knew no fear
That noble virtue which we call
courage had the supreme place in his
heart. He had the courage to stand
at the post Of duty and defend his
honor with his life. Having formed
conviction, truth and duty demand.
ed that he stand by it. And when
the supreme test came he was equal
to the emergency and proved himself
hero of the highest type. Rise up,
spirit of Bishop Batterton, Knight
of the Cross of Jesus Christ, for
thou art worthy of a name amongst
the immortals. am glad to say that
that same spirit of right living
square dealing and fair play which
led him to give his life in the service
of his country, is the same spirit that
led him earlier in his life to dedi-
cate himself to the Lord. On the
End day of November, 1914, it was
my great pleasure to baptize him
with my own hands and receive him
as member of this church. And the
lone star of gold which is seen in our
service flag shows that he is the first
and only one so far to make the SUI
preme sacrifice.
Time will not permit me to pro-
long these remarks, and words can
not portray the value of this young
life or the extent of our great loss.
If 1 could but speak one word of
comfort to-day to these sorrowing
hearts it would be a service precious
to my soul. And if 1 could bring the
message of this young life to the cit
izenship of Bourbon county I am sure
it would be an inspiration to service
such as we have never felt before.
He being dead, yet speaketh in thun-
der tones, as we remember the ser
vice he rendered and the sacrifice he
made. We speak of the spirit of rs
and of the heroism of the noble six
hundred. The same spirit animated
the heart of Bishop Batterton and
the brave young men who stood side
by side with him on the battle front.
And that is the spirit of the Ameri-
can boy, the unconquerable spirit.
The spirit of the boys who stood on
the Inflated Lusitania, just before
she made her fatal plung, with moth
ing hut the h1no coponu of uoo,ox
above them and a watery grave be-
meath, standing in the immediate
presence of death without a CULVER.
listening to the band playing Nearer
My God to Thee away out in mid
ocean, one thousand miles at sea,
that spirit will never surrender to
the Prussian War God.
