ose themselves against the malice and violence of such as bear a mortal hate against us. Arise, O. Lord, and stand up, we pray Thee, to help and defend them. Be Thou their Captain, to go in and out ible to such as come out against them.--When the enemy doth rage, and danger approach, be Thou, O. Lord, a rock of salvation and a tower of defence unto them. Break the enemies' weapons. As smoke vth, so let their enemies be scattered, and let such as hate them flee before them. Thou seest, O. Lord, the malice of our adversaries, how they bear a tyrannous hate against us, continually vexing and troubling us who fain would live at peace. Stir up, therefore, O. Lord, Thy strength, and avenge our just quarrel. Turn the sword of our enemy upon his own head, and cause his delight in war to o the praise of Thy glory, that Thou alone defendest them that trust in Thee, and givest victory to nations. Hear us, O. Lord our strength, in these our prayers, for Jesus Christ his sake. Amen.

Doubtless many a brave soldier asked himself the solemn question.

I am now to be shot for what other men have done, that I had no hand in, and know nothing about.

While the sergeant was bandaging his eyes Minniken said--"Sergeant, I don't blame you. I hope we will all meet in Heaven. Boys, when you kill me, kill me dead." The eyes of all being bandaged, they bade each other farewell. "Good bye, George, " said one; "Farewell, Nicholas," said another; "Good bye, Blackburn," uttered several; and two or three of them said, "Boys, farewell to you all; the Lord have mercy on our poor souls."
