" They turned not back empty from their contests, and unlike the fallen of Israel, they die on the achievement of victory. Ye daughters of the land, weep for them, — for they were the protectors of your homes in the days of trouble ; they kept back the foe in the dark hour of danger. But we must turn froin, the mere expression of grief to some other thoughts adapted to the occasion. The events which now call us to mourning should lead us to deep humiliation before God. The wonderful successes t...hat have crowned our arms since last September were, per- haps, begetting a pride that was offensive to the Giver of victories. We had, in our distress, often called upon the Ruler of the nations to interpose, to judge between us and our enemies, to turn back the tide of war upon the foe, and to deliver us from the treason that threatened life. But we had come to have confidence in an arm of flesh. We thought that if Sherman ordered the battle there must be victory; we thonglit if Thomas movel, tlie foe would be scattered before iiiin lilce chaff; we thought if Sheridan rode into the conflict, his legions would trample down the enemy ; we thought if Grant should hurl his relentless battalions on the enemy, that parapet and en- trenchment and abattis and artillery and lines of living men, would all yield to the stubborn warrior.
