<h3>"THE HIGHEST MERIT TO THE SOLDIER."</h3>
<p>"This extraordinary war in which we are engaged falls heavily upon all
classes of people, but the most heavily upon the soldier. For it has
been said, 'All that a man hath he will give for his life;' and, while
all contribute of their substance, the soldier puts his life at stake,
and often yields it up in his country's cause. The highest merit,
then, is due to the soldier."
