Wv re ARE accustomed to think of
w clergymen as ministers of
peace, whose duty it is, when
war is declared, to pray for the sue
cess of their armies. This they can
do with a clear conscience, in the full
conviction that their side is battling
for the right, without the disturbing
thought that the opposing force may
be equally certain its cause is just.
History tells us of priests, from
bishops down to those of lowly sta
ton, who did not restrict themselves
to petitions for aid from on high, but
have tucked up their cassocks and
girding on a sword went forth to
meet the enemy and do deadly execu-
ton. There were many instances dur
ing the Civil war of students leaving
theological seminaries to serve In the
armies, and returning after peace was
declared, to compete their studies.

of that faith in Montana, DR.. Thomas
Corwin Iliff-who distinguished himself
In a military way at a time when war
threatened, but failed to materialize.
1t was in the early '70s. when the
whites were casting covetous eyes on
the rich lands of the Bitter Root valley.
then owned, as they had been from time
immemorial, by the Selfish, or Flathead
people. The Selfish knew what the out
come was likely to be in such an event,
but did not intend to give up their
heritage without a struggle. The white
settlers in Missoula and vicinity watched
the course Of events with considerable
apprehension, The Flatheads had always
been friendly, but they were quite cap
able of defending their rights If neces-
sary-and they outnumbered the whites
probably at hat time, although I can
not assert this as a fact. One thing was
certain: the Indians, If reused, could
make 1t exceedingly interesting for the
whites in the Bitter Root valley and else
where in that neighborhood.
About this time a young man recently
ordained came to what he says was then
called Missoula Mills, to build up a
