they alone have the right to de-

Can people not belong to the

other? Must we continue the
grave error of assuming and
sometimes insisting that our
contributions be duly recog-

The earthly soldier serves I'M

The Christian soldier, more

Yet mo cross, no crown" is
the law of Christian service. The
Christian soldier serves upon a
