And I say that the angels of God never looked down from the battlements of heaven on a holier scene than that. His great, sympathetic heart saved the republic.

The greatest victory in those days of struggle was that Chrlstlike sympathy. The greatest victory that Is ever won on any battlefield of human life, in the hour when the struggle goes on, is won through the wonderful element that comes down from the heart of Jesus Christ his own divine sympathy for struggling humanity.
