Dps Moines, Iowa, many a battlefield, have m(i hand to hand many a bitter foe; but none, per­ haps. more deadly than those sheltered in our own hearts, our own evil pas­ sions and propensities. The enemy without th« estop can dons little harm; it is the Inner foe who win the victory. How goes the conflict, my brother? Thp day Is passing: already the sun is high in the heavens; at nightfall the warfare must cease. Are you storm* Ing the works ol tlie enemy? Are yon holding your own ground? What is the outlook?

The years of the great conflict are growing more distant, tlie old wouiidh are healed over; only an empty sleeve or a halt­ ing step tells us of the fierce struggle once endured.
