A THIRD-CLASS SHOT o

GQENERAL HART discovered a soldier silling safely behind a reek (at Spion Kop, South Africa), and a long way behind the tiring line. ‘"'Good afternoon, my man,” he said in his most nervous, apologetic voice. “What are you doing here?” “Sir,” replied the soldier, “an officer told me to stop here.”

“Oh. why?” "I’m a third-class shot, sir.”

“Dear me,” said the general, aftor some rollout ion, “that’s an awful pity, because you see you’ll have to get quite close to the Boers to do any good. Come along with me, and I’ll find you a nice place,” and a mournful procession trailed off towards the moat advanced skirmishers. There are :i large number of “thirdclass shots” in the Temperance Army, who are sheltering themselves behind some rock out of the enemy’s sight and range. Instead ot the spirit ol Christ being the great impelling force, the spirit, ol* compromise effaces their manhood and cripples their usefulness. Fearful, timid souls, gird up tny loins. Be loyal to God, to high principle, to vour host manhood, and o those who are looking to you lor help and deliverance from the greatest foe that is distressing our country. Give you." better nature its truest plav, do what you know to be right-, come out- from behind the ro( ;« business expediency, sell-ease, petsin nl convenience, social custom, or any other form of selfishness. Como out into the open, and. join the most idvamwd skirmishers.” Between now and the poll, fight all you know hou, and let the last shot go home straight S&SBToirt Till! T 01" LINE." Advt.
