On the side of it is indorsed: “Quartermaster’s Office, New York City,
October 22, 1864. Transportation furnished to Baltimore, Maryland. H.
Brownson”; and at the bottom in a different hand is this indorsement:
“Taken from the body of R. McIntyre at the Battle of Five Forks,
Virginia, 1865.” So he went back and died like a man, with his pardon
on his person. And to-day, to the coward and the deserter and the
traitor, the man who has compromised and the man who has run away, the
same Lord God Who set Elijah on his feet is speaking, and He is able to
send him back to be faithful, even unto death. Thanks be to a God Who
does not compromise and Who is still alive.
