Here indeed is a tale of purpose strongly and patiently held. The military story of the struggle, glorious as it is in many respects, is actually less interesting in the pondering than this day by day record of recruiting with a small Bounty the want of Music; of keeping in the field of action men who wanted to be in the wheat field, where indeed they were equally needed; Of purchasing food and clothing and supplies without money or credit; of guarding against the effects of blockade, against treachery or open enmity, and worst Of all, against that indifference to the outcome which for various reasons infected the people of the whole country. In reading such collections Of documents as this, one realizes anew that wars are fought and won in the council chamber; the victory of the troops in the field is but a seal put upon the more fundamental victory that has previously occurred, an out ward and visible Sign of the spiritual grace to which the people behind the armies have attained.
