YOUR POST OF HONOR
You have been railed to serve as a
soldier In the national nrrny, henuM
that Is otic of your obligations as u
citizen of the tJnltState*. The rl-
Izens of a republic must always he
ready In the hour of need to leave
their homes and fake up firms In de
fense, of their rights and principles.
Otherwise the republic cojuid not long
continue to exist. The men who now
enter military service deserve the
gratitude and respect of their fellow
citizens.
You lire doubtless ma king n heavy
sacrifice In ord-r to perform this duty
to your country. Hundreds of thou
sands of other young men and their
families are face to face with similar
sacrifice*. All our citizens will sooner
or later he called upon, each to hear his
or her share of the burden. Men and
women, rich and poor, alike must
do whatever Is necessary and must
give up whatever Is necessary. For no
personal Interests or feelings can be
permitted to stand In the way nt a
time when the safety and honor of the
country are at stake.
As a citizen-soldier you are chosen
for a poßt of special distinction. Amer
ica IN justly proud of the soldiers of the
jmst w'lio have won for us the rights
today'denled nrid put In serious danger
Ity (he hlKh-hunded attacks of the Oer
mini government. America will he no
less proud of you.
Your personal responsibility Is great.
AH warfare today Is conducted, the
Individual soldier counts for more than
ever before. Your own skill and brav
ery, no matter how humble your rank,
may easily he Important factor* In de
ciding whether an engagement Is to be
won or lost. You cannot depend upon
anyone else to carry this personal re
sponsibility for you, you must depend
upon yourself.
Americans are well fitted to meet
this test. During the Civil war, at the
battle of Antletam, the Seventh Maine
Infantry lay, hugging the ground, un
der a furious storm of shot anil shell.
Private Knox, who was a wonderful
shot, asked leave to move nearer the
enemy. For an hour afterwards Ills
companions heard his rifle crack every
few minutes. ;!lls commanding officer
finally, from curiosity, "crept forward
to see what lie was doing, ami found
that he had driven every man away
from one section of a Confederate
battery, tumbling over gunner after
gunner as they came forward to fire.
. . . At the end of an hour or so,
a piece of shell took off the,breech of
his pet rifle, ami he returned dlscon
•olate; but after a few minutes he
fathered three rifles that were left by
wounded nw»n ami went back again."
In the Confederate armies Individual
aoldlers were no less skillful, CIK»I and
brave.
Tnleu of heroic courage can be found
In the annals of nil armies and of nil
nations.

timde up of self-reliant, thinking men
has n grent advantage over n merely
machine-like nrmy. ntul this Is enpe
•flttlly true In present-dny warfare.
A second trnilitlon of the Amerlcnn
nrmy, which need only he mentioned,
Is that of fighting fairly and treating
even the enemy with as much liumnn-
Itjr as his own conduct will permit.
As for slaughtering or enslaving the
civilian population of captured terri
tory, attacking prisoners or assaulting
women, American soldiers would as
little commit such crimen In time of
war as In time of pence.
There Is n third splendid tradition
of the American army which you will
help to carry forward. It hns fought
always and everywhere In defense of
principles nnd right—never merely
for territory nnd for power. Kven the
Civil war resulted from the clash of
op|M>Hlng principles—the principle of
an indivisible Union upheld by the
North, and that of freedom to with
draw from the Union upheld by the
South.
To protect the rights of citizens, the
American people have several times
opposed tyrannical governments—the
English government In 177(1 and 1812,
the French government for a short
period In 170 S. the Mexican govern
ment in IX4B, the Spanish government
lti 1808. The final effect In each case
has been to advance the cause of lib
erty and democracy throughout the
world, even In the countries agalust
which we fought. Our weapons have
not willingly been turned against any
peoples, but only against the rulers
who misgoverned and misled them. In
fighting for our own rights, the Ameri
can army has fought also. In Presi
dent Wilson's phrase, for the "rights
of mankind."
For u like high purpose, the Ameri
can people have entered Into the pres
ent war against the German govern-
ment —a government which in our be
lief misrepresents and misleads the
German people. Only by so doing can
we make America and the world "safe
for democracy." Hut one ending can
be thought of —an ending that will
guarantee the continuance of all those
principles und rights which the Amer
ican army has in the past so nobly
fought to establish.
Never lose sight, even for an In
stant, of the fact that all of your train
ing, your efforts, ami your sacrifices
have thlii one great object In view, the
ttt&lnment of which Is worth anything
\v may coat. *'■
THE ENTERPRISE, WILLIAMBTOK, NORTH CAROLINA
MAKING GOOD AS A SOLDIER
The national army, In which yoo
have taken your place, truly expresses
(he Amerlcaifccharacter und Ideals. It
Is a great flf-iuf»r-rnft«* army. It Include*
men of all degrees of wealth and e»ln
cat lon, chosen through fair and open
select ion hy lot. All are brought to
gether on terms of equality. There hac
been and there will be In this great
national army no favorltlsAi and n«
"pull." The poor man will drill wide by
side with the man who has been raised
In luxury. Knch will learn from the
other. The man makes for
himself will be determined by his own
work and ability.
The commissioned officers of the first
contingent are picked men who have
voluntarily gone through the hardest
kind of training. The officers of later
contingents will be drawn largely from
the men enlisted In the first contin
gents. There Is plenty of opportunity
here for every inan to use his brnlns
and his energy and to earn promotion
according to his worth.
In order to make good In the Na
tional army you must, first of nil, fit
yourself to carry with credit the slrn
pie title of "American CltlEen-Soldlc r"
—one of the proudest titles In the
world. This means that ,vou must de
velop In yourself the qualities of a sol
dler. The more quickly and thorough
ly you cultivate them, the greater will
he your satisfaction find success.
There Is very little real difference
of opinion iin to soldierly qualities
They have been determined by age* of
experience.
There are three basic qualities, with
out which no man can he n real sol
dlw ert-n though he may temporarily
wenr a uniform. They are:
Ixyalty.
Obedience.
Physical fitness
A man without these qualities Is In
the way and Is a source of weakness
to an army, both In the camp and on
the field of battle.
The articles of war In the t7nlte!
States set forth the military crimes
which are punishable by heavy penal
ties. Among these crimes are deser
tlon, cowardice. Insubordination, drunk
enness while on duty, sleeping while
on duty as a sentinel, disclosing the
watchword, and giving aid or comfort
to the enemy. Hun fiver thin list and
you will see that every one of these
military crimes can result only from
the absence of one or more of the three
basic qualities of a soldier.
A soldier's loyalty governs, first or
all, bis feelings and actions toward
his country, his government and hi*
flag. There can be no such thing aa
half-way loyalty. The slightest com
promise opens the door to treason.
nut a soldier's loyalty does not slop
here. It governs also Ills feelings nnd
actions toward the army nnd toward
all the officers under whom be serves.
It absolutely forbids disobedience
a(iiong both officers and enlisted men.
or disrespect toward those In authority.
doing a step farther, loyalty gov
ern* also the soldier's feeling* nnd
actions toward his own regiment, his
own company and bis own s|tiad.
Without this form of loyalty there ran
be no real comradeship; without It you
will never feel that personal pride nnd
satisfaction In the service which should
mean so much In your army life.
The second of the soldier's basic
qualities Is obedience, based on dis
cipline. Without obedience and dls
clpllno an army cannot long continue
to exist; It will quickly degenerate Into
an armed mob. As the Infantry drill
regulations put It, discipline Is "th»»
distinguishing mark of trained troops."
Frequently the recruit, with his in
born dislike of being bossed, makes the
mistake during his first few weeks In
the army of resenting the fact that Im
mediate and unquestioning obedience
Is required of him. He quickly learns,
however, that obedience enforced
throughout the army Is In all situa
tions the chief safeguard of the rights,
the comfort and the safety of every
man. front the raw recruit to the com
manding general. It Is a guarantee
that the small number of unruly or
cowardly uien to he found In every
group shnll be kept In check and forced
to comply with rules made for the
benefit of all.
Military discipline Is always Imper
sonal. Obedience Is required not
merely of you, but of every man In the
army. It Is required of officers by
their superiors with fully as much
slrlctness as It Is required of you. It"
will become your duty, whenever you
are Riven authority over other men, to
demand from*them the same full meas
ure of obedience that others will re
quire of you.
Discipline Is not only essential In de
veloping the army, but also In develop
ing your own character as a soldier.
"The soldier who Is by nature brave,
will by discipline become braver."
The third basic quality, physical fit
ness. is so essential that a law part
of the time devoted to your training
will be spent In building it up. Physical
fitness Includes not only muscular de
velopment but good health and en
durance as well. It Is a quality which
every man who passes the physical ex
aminations can develop in himself by
reasonable care and by obedience to in
structions. Thin Is a subject uiora
fully dlscuMed In a late>- lesson.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 16
THE FIERY FURNACE.
LESSON TEXT—Daniel I.
GOLDEN TEXT—When thou walkest
through the Are, tbou shalt not be burn
ed; neither nhalt the I1*m« kindlo upon
thee.—lsaiah 43:2.
I. The Occasion (vv. 1-7). The fart
that God said to Nebuchadnezzar.
"Thou art this head of gold" (2:38)
was too much for Jilm. Though he ap
peared to have been deeply Impressed
with Daniel's Ood, hi* pride got the
better of him. As he grew great and
became conscious of It, he grew proud.
This moved him to set up a colossal
Idol of gold In the Plain of I>ura to be
worshiped by all the people of his
realm. It waa an attempt at self-delfl
'•atlon. It combined with It a political
move, the object of which was to weld
together the various kingdoms and
people* Into one homogeneous body.
He Ir.uugurated a religious festival,
and called upon all the people to wor
ship the Image which he set up. He
backed this demand hy civil authority.
The penalty for refusal to how down
and worship the Image was to he cast
Into the burning flery furnace. Impos
ing Images ore aet up In many places,
and men and women are being called
upon to bow down and worship them.
Home of these Images are money,
fashion, scholarship, worldly ambition,
pleasures, etc., and woe be to those
who will not worship before them.
11. Tha Behavior of tha Hebrews
(vv. 8-18). (1) the accusation by the
envious spies (vv. 8-12).
Daniel's three friends had been pro
moted to positions of honor and re
sponsibility. Certain Chaldeans whose
envy had been excited by the promo
tion of these Hebrews, sought occasion
against them. This they found when
the Hebrews would not bow down to
and worship the Image. Envious eyes
are always watching Ood's faithful
.me*. Had these Chaldeans been faith
fully worshiping, they would not have
«een the Hehrewa.
(2) The king's rage (vr. 1.1-15)
He calls the Hebrews before him,
questions them and gives them another
chance. The offense was not serious
—they were defying the authority of
the one who had honored them In their
promotion; It savored of Ingratitude.
After closely questioning them he gave
them another opportunity to con»lder
their position before consigning them
to the Are. Ills supreme mistake was
In the challenge he made to the Ood
of the Hebrews. Ha seems to have
forgotten entirely tj>e confession he
had made with reference to Ood (2:47).
(8) The courageous reply of the
faithful Hebrews (tt. 16-18).
They replied without passion or fear.
The pence of God Ailed their hearta.
Their behavior 1* (in expression of
triumphant faith. "We are not care
ful to answer thee In this matter. If It
he So, our Ood whom we serve Is able
to deliver us from the burning fiery
furnace, and he will deliver hs out of
thine hand, O king. But If not, he
It thee, O kin*, that we
will not serve thy gods, nor worship
the golden Image which thou hnst net
up." They courageously showed their
contempt for death. They were not
afraid to die, bnt were afraid to sin
against Ood. They knew that to how
down before this Image was to disobey
nnd dishonor Ood. While they did not
know what Ood would do, In the prem
ises they knew that he would do the
right thing. These Hebrews were far
nway from home, exposed to the most
severe temptation, hut they saw their
duty clearly act fcefore them. God's
law plntnly settled It for them. They
did not try to find an excuse to evade
their duty, and seeing the way clearly
they acted accordingly.
111. The Qlorious Imu (rv. 19-30).
(1) The harmless furnace (w. 10-25).
The Infuriated king ordered the heat
of the furnace to be Intensified, his
roost mlghty t men to bind the Hebrews
and fling them Into the fire. Though
the heat was so Intense that the sol
diers who cast them Into the furnace
were slain, the Hebrews were seen
walking loose In the Are without any
hurt. Equally astounding was the fact
that a fourth one was seen with them.
(2) The conrtaced king (vv. 20-28)
The spectacle was so wonderful that
the king called the Hebrews together
out of the fire. They came forth un
harmed. for the Are had no power over
their bodies; not even a hair of their
heads was singed, their coats changed,
nor the smell of Are upon them (v. 27).
(3) The king's decree (v. 20)
This was moat foolish and wicked.
Even a king has no right to kill people
for not worshiping God.
(4) Promotion of the Hebrews (▼.
30).
Their fidelity in this trying ordeal
resulted In their promotion instead of
downfall. May we learn from this that:
(a) God alone Is Lord of the con
science. _ One's faith and worship
should be determined by the Individual
before his God. No church, king or
ruler has a right to Interfere.
(b).We should meet religious Intol
erance hy being obedient to God rather
than man.
(c) God will support those who arc
faithful.
(d) SVe should prepare for fiery
trials, and through them all be tru
to our conscience.
