said, Its the work of a woman.
So Florence Nightingale went to the
front with her retinue, and, as she
walked down the halls, men would
arise, and with their dying strength
salute her and fall back dead. They
counted it an honor to kiss her sha-
dow as she swept by in her ministra-
tions of peace, and to alleviate their
sufferings.
At the close of the war, they had
a banquet for the officers of the
army and navy, and Lord Stratford
arose and gave each man a piece of
paper and asked him to write on that
piece of paper the name of the man
or woman that they considered had
done the most for England and when
they gathered up those slips of paper
there was but one name written on
them and that was the name of Flor
ence Nightingale!
When she was seventy-eight years
old, the Lord Mayor of London gave
her the freedom of the City, and the
King and Queen seen her autographed
letters of congratulation We will
never forget those that have served
l know of a man who would come
to church and tell how much he loved
the Lord, and he would spend more
on tobacco in one year than he gave
to God in ten years. It's the word
and deed that moves the world!
Describes
Western Gang.
Out in a Western City there's n
gang of men that will stand on the
street corner and they will preach in
fidelity tinctured with anarchy. It's
very subtle, though. The police
! would arrest them if they would open
/ ly assault the Government that gives
them their bread and butter and Il
pillow on which to rest their unwor
/ thy heads, and a place for their mis-
cradle carcasses to exist; but they'll
say,
"Oh. if God gave His Son to die
| for this world, God was murderer:
| Hes not fit to love-"
A Bible isn't fit to have in their
homes l wish some of those black
hearted degenerates would go into
some G. A R. post and tell the old
! father that gave his boy to die, that
he was such / wouldn't give much
for his old carcass after he got out
of there.
Now, when the war broke out, n
man out West had son and the son
said. Father, l must enlist"
| The father said, "I need you home
to help me-"
But the son enlisted and he came
back wounded and he died at home.
And that uniform is one of the most
! treasured keep-sakes of the family
| Another child was born; he grew to
be man. and the Spanish-American
! War broke out, and he said, Father,
must go!"
He went and at the charge at San
Juan Hill he fell, mortally wounded
Oh, you go and tell that father
| that gave two boys for his country
that he was a murderer, and see what
will happen to you'll
God Gives
Heart In Love.
/ God Almighty gave out of his heart
in love, and those men gave them
selves and filled the trenches of Bull
Run and Shiloh and Gettsburg, and
of Corinth, my friends, the blood oil
the greatest men, in order that free
dom might be ours!
The Government Penitentiary al
. Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is as much
an evidence of the love of this Gov
eminent as the United States Mint a.
Philadelphia or a Denver. If there
were no laws, If there were no penal
ties attached to our transgressions
then your life and virtue wouldn't bt
worth a snap of your finger. Their
If might was right, they might drivf
you from your house and stop you OF
the road and make you get out o
your limousine. But nights no
.. right!
It's the principles of right tina
make might, and therefore the Law
steps in and tells you that when you
transeress upon my rights, you pa,
the penalty or if | transgress upoi
yours, pay the penalty. No man i
left to act upon his own will abou
, everything in this world.
Why do we have penitentiaries
First, to save us from the transgres
sions of the men that will not keel
, the law, and to make good citizens
of them, if possible; and then, to pun
, ish them for the crimes they've com
mitted against the law.
