    THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER

    or

    Heroism--The Lost Chord of Christianity

    HEROISM is the lost chord; the mission note of present-day Christianity!

    Every true soldier is a hero! A SOLDIER WITHOUT HEROISM IS A CHOCOLATE SOLDIER! Who has not been stirred to scorn and mirth at the very thought of a Chocolate Soldier! In peace true soldiers are captive lions, fretting in their cages. War gives them their liberty and sends them, like boys bounding out of school, to obtain their heart's desire or perish in the attempt. Battle is the soldier's vital breath! Peace turns him into a stooping asthmatic. War makes him a whole man again, and gives him the heart, strength, and vigor of a hero.

    EVERY TRUE CHRISTIAN IS A SOLDIER--of Christ--a hero par excellence! Braver than the bravest--scorning the soft seductions of peace and her oft-repeated warnings against hardship, disease, danger, and death, whom he counts among his bosom friends.

    THE OTHERWISE CHRISTIAN IS A CHOCOLATE CHRISTIAN! Dissolving in water and melting at the smell of fire. Sweeties they are! Bonbons, lollipops! Living their lives on a glass dish or in a cardboard box, each clad in his soft clothing, a little frilled white paper to preserve his dear little delicate constitution.

    Here are some PORTRAITS OF CHOCOLATE SOLDIERS taken by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

    He said, 'I go, sir,' and went not; he said he would go to the heathen, but stuck fast to Christendom instead.

    They say and do not--they tell others to go, and yet do not go themselves. Never, said General Gordon to a corporal, as he himself jumped upon the parapet of a trench before Sebastopol to fix a gabion which the corporal had ordered a private to fix, and wouldn't fix himself, Never tell another man to do what you are afraid to do yourself.

    To the Chocolate Christian the very thought of war brings a violent attack of ague, while the
