A LATE issue of the London Times gives the names of the leading British, French, and German generals that are at the head of the armies in this terrific slaughter. The average age of the British generals is fifty-three and nine tenths years. The youngest one is forty-six years of age, and the oldest is sixty. The forty-six-year-old general is the only one that is below fifty-one years of age. The average age of the fifteen French generals is sixty and five tenths years. Ten of these French military leaders are sixty or above, the oldest one being sixty-seven years of age, and the youngest one forty-seven. There are twenty-one German officers in the list, and their average age is sixty-three and five tenths years. Five of the German military leaders are seventy or over. Two of them are sixty-nine years of age, and only three of them are below sixty. These three are thirty-four, forty-seven, and fifty-one respectively. It is too bad that the great ability of these strong old men is used so effectively in the work of destruction. The sentiment has prevailed, for a number of years, that old men could not do anything; but these facts show that this notion is a very sad and gruesome mistake. If a man cultivates the preservation of his power as he should, by leading a careful, well regulated, and helpful life, there is no reason why he should not do the greatest part of his life work after he passes sixty; and for the Christian there is the inspiring promise: "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fail: but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isa. 40: 29-31.
