I Believe It To Be The Duty

What A Cruel Thing Is War: To Separate And Destroy Families And Friends, And Mar The Purest Joys And Happiness God Has Granted Us In This World; To Fill Our Hearts With Hatred Instead Of Love For Our Neighbors, And To Devastate The Fair Face Of This Beautiful World.

I Think It Better To Do Right, Even If We Suffer In So Doing, Than To Incur The Reproach Of Our Consciences And Posterity.

Obedience To Lawful Authority Is The Foundation Of Manly Character.

Go Home All You Boys Who Fought With Me And Help Build Up The Shattered Fortunes Of Our Old State

As A General Principle You Should Not Force Young Men To Do Their Duty, But Let Them Do It Voluntarily And Thereby Develop Their Characters.
