Connor, Ralph, Pseudonym, 1860-1937

"The Sky Pilot in No Man's Land"


The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Come, behold the words of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the
earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow,
and cutteth the spear in sunder: he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I
will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge."

Then they followed him in the General Confession, and the Lord's prayer.
"Captain Dunbar," said the O. C., offering him his hand, "you have
done for us to-night a greater thing than you know just now. You will
understand better tomorrow. With all my heart I thank you on the men's
behalf and on my own behalf, for I assure you I needed it as much as
they did. I want to assure you, too, sir, that I received to-night the
thing I needed."
"Thank you, sir," said Barry simply, too weary to utter another word,
and staggered out, half dead with exhaustion.
