the barber, the letter being written
before he received news of his wife's
death:
9-25-18.
Dear brother,-While thinking of
you all, thought I would write you
to let you know how I am. I am
just as fine as I can be, hoping you
are all the same. I am through
training on this side of the sea. The
next training I get it will be in
France. So am going to send you
a prayer, and want you to put it in
the Pressing Banner for me. If you
see mama or Angie in passing ask
one of them to give you the money.
I will write it off and mail it in this
note, don't forget. Don't write me.
1 will write when get to France, a

tice, Lord of hosts, I give my life
into thy hands, weapon for thy

thoughts Of those who plan the bat
tie, remember my comrades of the
ranks. keep US and arm us with
steadfast and adventurous hearts
and if it pleases thee give us the
victory we desire. remember in low
ing kindness all whom 1 love, uphold
and deliver them and bring US to-
gether at last, whether through life \
or death. into thy hands commit
my spirit. thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. thy kingdom |
come. in the name of Christ who
gave himself for our deliverance,
even unto death. Amen"
We have tried to copy the prayer !,
just as it was written by Happy. 1t
was first offered, no doubt, by some
person with more learning than he,
but we may well doubt whether it
was offered, in the beginning, by
one more devout, or one who enter
ed into all its beautiful petitions
with more earnesntess and real con-
viction. AS it is read many people
in Abbeville will pray within them
selves that it will go with the simple
negro over the top, and out into the
I unknown land, and "deliver" him.
