How Will You Feel on Monday?

THERE Is one day of the week
= which, as Christians believe. is
Gods special gift to man. 1t is for
everybody's benefit.
Let us suppose there Is a town
where everybody works, one way
or another, for one man, spending
most Of their time making one man
rich. Six days a week, that Is: then
comes Sunday and nobody works.
This Is everybody's day, not the
boss's day.
Such a town would be a little hard
to find; but even there everybody
does have one day.
Jesus said. The Sabbath is made
for man. Net for preachers, not for
a favored few. not even for Jews
and Christians only: but for man.

spoke has its successor in the Chris.

Christians appreciate the day more
than atheists; but God made Sun
day for man just as he sends rain
and sunshine on one and all.
Our forefathers sometimes got
hold OF Sunday by The wrong handle
Just as the Pharisees did in their
time, with the Sabbath. They talked
a good deal about not breaking
the Sabbath as II II were very
fragile something to be kept under
glass and never touched.
No. Jesus meant that the day Is
to be used; and the purpose OF IL is
to keep man from being broken
But that Is still not all Of II.

a day which we rise back. so 10

narrow road running north and

In order to appreciate the seri-
GUS situation the country was in
at the time of the Battle of Fort
Stevens. and to realize what it
would have meant-though even
temporarily-to have lost this en-
gagement, one must take into
consideration the conditions ex-
isting in the United States at that
time. The war had been going on
for more than three years. The
Battle of Gettysburg had been
fought just one year before with
out any apparent decisive results.
At no time during the war was
the country in greater or a more
serious state of uncertainty than
when Gen. Lee sent Gen. Early
up the valley with the apparent
intention of compelling Grant to
weaken his hold on Richmond.
Soon Hagerstown paid Early's
army a tribute Of $4,000, and
Frederick 10 times as much. In
toxicated with these successes,
Early determined to make a drive
on Washington, which had been
left almost unguarded. as he had
suspected. and probably. in ad-
vance. was aware Of. and when
Lew Wallace was defeated at the
Monocacy on July 8, 1864,
naturally the fears of the citizens
and public officials here were
greatly intensified.

there. Early's men needed rest.
He was willing to kill the enemy.
but not his own soldiers. While
his army was resting. the gallant
9th Corps was hitting only the
high spots on the Seventh street
pike. and. when on the morning
of the 18th he saw through his
glasses Gen. Wright's magnificent
army manning the fort in front
of him, he no doubt abandoned

New York Cavalry had arrived
from the James. but even this re-
inforcement would not have been
sufficient to have repulsed Early
without the help Of the 9Th Corps.
One of the reasons assigned for
Early not entering Washington
Immediately upon his arrival was
that his men came upon per-
fectly good barrel of bourbon
whisky in the cellar of the home
Of Francis p. Blair. at Silver
Spring, and that they could not
be induced to leave it for fear it
might evaporate in their absence.

"ThiS morning arms were giver
out to the employees Of several o1
the departments for the defense
of the city. This afternoon the
clerks of the Adjutant Generals
Office were drilling in front oi
Lafayette Square. fully armed and
equipped.
"A number Of the patients ir
the hospitals, able to bear arms
for a short time. have been sent
out-about $50 going from Camp
bell Hospital this morning"
EorIy's Opportunity
Early's first sight Of Fort
Stevens convinced him that the
works were but feebly manned y
In fact. this opinion was justified,
since the only troops that were
ready to defend Washington at
this time included mainly con-
valeScents from nearly every
regiment in the Army Of the
Potomac, a few Regulars and
militia made up of citizens and
departmental employees. However,
there seemed to have been no
lack Of officers, for it was
facetiously said that there were
-four times as many generals In
Washington as privates."
Here was Early's opportunity.
That he faltered and failed was
