I mean to cover it with fresh sods and plant some of those purple orchids at its head. I'll cut a cedar headstone, too, and mark it so that nobody else shall desecrate it as we have done." "You mustn't touch it! It's nobody's only a warning." "A warning, surely; that we must take great care lest a like fate come on us; but somebody lies under that mound and I pity him.
It's time we came to a showdown with your murderin' outfit, and I aim to see if we've got a government in this country." "Heaven guided my hand," devoutly breathed the general. "It is regrettable that you used this means when a word to me would have served the purpose, for it is no trivial matter to desecrate a Mexican graveyard. My country, too, has a government.
In brief, there are Germans here, and probably the most of them, who despise God's Word and all good outward order, blaspheme and frightfully and publicly desecrate the Sacraments. And the chief fault and cause of this is the lack of provision for an external visible church-communion.
They demanded that a picture or a statue of the Emperor be placed in the temples of the people who inhabited the outlying parts of the Roman domains.
