The Retreating Foe

S

Weak warfare do we deem it, and cowardly soldiers they, who fail or falter under the fire of a retreating foe.

Nineteen centures ago, Jesus' understanding of Truth enabled him to defeat the common enemy of mankind. At his command, discordant hosts fled the field. Not death, but life, not mourning, but rejoicing followed the bloodless victories of the Prince of Peace. The day was ours, the victory was won; but faint-hearted sentinels have mistaken the disorganized bands of a retreating foe for reinforcements, and have yielded themselves captive to the shattered allies of materiality.

One, however, brave and alert, caught anew Freedom's reveille and called men to retrieve their rightful dominion. Thousands are answering the glad summons and are valiantly striving to recover their lost estate.
