No Retreat Possible to the Christian Soldier
Luke 9:61-62
And another also said, Lord, I will follow you; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.…


Among the prisoners taken captive at Waterloo there was a Highland piper. Napoleon, struck with his mountain dress and sinewy limbs, asked him to play on his instrument, which is said to sound so delightfully in the mountains and glens in Scotland. "Play a pibroch," said Napoleon; and the Highlander played. "Play a march"; it was done. "Play a retreat." "Na, na," said the Highlander, "I never learned to play a retreat."
