It was self- sacrifice. and whenever 'there was self-eacri- fice they were on the path towards God. They had been led to t ike up arms by the highest motivee, as t vide need from extracts which he read from letters he had received from Sergt. William* For the sake of the women a.nd children and civilisation," he wrote, we pray for a speedy ending cf the war; not thai we are afraid of facing the fi-c-quite the reverse.
