A SOLDIER-CLERIC.
"HE THAT HATH NO SWORD." Rf Cable—Prv-t. Association—Copyright. Received 16, 10.30 p.m. Melbourne, June 16. The Rev. Ross, of Adelaide, a clergyman, applied for appointment as a military officer. The local commandant did not approve, and referred the applicant to the military board, which saw no ob- ' jeotfcra to the appointment. Senator McGregor, Acting-Minister of Defence, having qualms on the subject, states that he solved the difficulty by opening his Bible at random. His eyes fell on the verse, "He that hath no sword let "him sell his garment and buy one." That decided him, and he ordered the Rev. Rosa to be admitted as an officer.
