The year of 1S31 paw the outbroik of the most terrible of modern wars The hour came nnd the man WAS needed. Within four yours Grant commanded an army vaster than had ever before baeu bandied by man , IT WAS Nor LUCK , but the roault of inflexible faithfulness , In domitable resolution , eleepless energy , iron purpose , persistent tenacity. He rose by the upward gravitation of natural fitness , The very noldlor < 5 became impregnated with hla spirit. Gen. Grant has been grossly and un justly called a butcher. He loved peacj aud hated bloodshed. But it waa his duty at all co-Is to save the country , The struggle was not for victory , but for existence ; not for glory , but for life or death. la his silence , determination and clearness nf Insight , Grant resembled Washington : inJ Wellington.

The church has never refusei to honor the faithful soldier fighting for the caune of the country and hia God , Tho'causo.for which Grant fought , the unity of a gieat people , the free dom of a whole race , was as great and noble us when at Lexington the a-ubattlad farmers fired the ( hot wliiJi RESOUNDED THROUGHOUT THK WOULD , Tha south nccapted a bloody arbitrament.
