He writes to an Abilene friend: The

dugouts: Almighty Father, with
grateful hearts for past blessings, we
continue to trust Thee.-Be with us
today as soldleers.--As Thou dldst
walk with Christ, his unseen com
panion, on the torturous road to Cal
vary, so do Thou walk with us ON
the long hard road of army duty. As
we follow the path of service where
ever 1t may lead, help us endure the
hardship as good soldiers of Jesus
Christ Be with us on the weary
night marches and In the cold and
muddy camps. Strengthen our
hearts by discipline. Refine and pur-
lfy our spirits in the fires Of tempta-
tions and trial. Increase our patience
and endurance by the monotonous
grind Of camp life. Broaden our
sympathies and make us more kind
and tender by the sorrow and suf-
fering we see around us here. Make
us more courageous by the example
set by our fallen and wounded COM
