The child itself, as soon as it is old enough to speak, is required to say, morning and night, the general formula: "Day by day, in every way, I'm getting better and better."
He finds a great State Establishment of religion wherever he goes. It enjoys the favour of the Court. It is patronized by the aristocracy. It enlists among its supporters all who wish to rise in the world or to make a figure in society. By means of the endowed schools of the land, it offers to the young, even of the humblest birth, a chance of winning a prize.
No man of any respectable family now enlists himself under the banners of the clergy, whose influence is only kept up in some of the smallest and obscure towns;—in the cities it has entirely disappeared: nor does there remain in that body sufficient energy to make the least attempt to recover it.
"You mean when a boy enlists he offers himself instead of gets offered." "Exactly." "You got something behind all this. You mean you you want to enlist." "Now, ma you see, if I was to enlist and stay right here in this country with you near the camp or, as long as it's too rough life for you, with with Clara there a woman to look in on " "Sammy you mean it's enlistment!"
