188 - H Nov. 25:2/3 - The Rev. J. Monteith, jr., deliv red a sermon yester-
day in the Euclid st. Presbyterian church, based upon Ps. 23:6.
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies." He
contrasted the present prosperity during the war with the want and slaugh-
ter of past wars. He praised the North for their "progress of freedom".
and all the good they were doing and had done. "In view of all this, is
there any man before me who dare allow the finger of his conscience to in-
scribe upon his country's sword the word, 'failure'?... The 8th of November
was the most anxious day in history, but its sun set in a cloud of trium-
phant glory. The result was one for which we have sung, and wept, and
prayed, and talked, and worked. Those who think the war a failure, and who
must therefore regard the 8th of November as the gloomiest day in history,
had better, like Job, clothe themselves with the sackcloth and sit in the
ashes of repentence." (23)
