ve us your rifles; we will go and fight."

The soldiers were so ashamed and encouraged by this remarkable woman
that they turned back and began to fight anew so fiercely that the enemy
was confusedly beaten and dispersed, and a decisive victory won by the
Serbs.

For Cross and Freedom fought the Serbian women directly or indirectly,
not only the queens and princesses, but all the peasant women as well,
if not otherwise, then at least in giving life and education to the
fighters, whom powerful England repeatedly called her worthy allies.

ENGLAND IS ALSO FIGHTING FOR CROSS AND FREEDOM,

not for existence, not for sea, not for wealth, but for Cross and
Freedom, for the Christian Cross and for the Freedom of the smaller
nations. It means in other words: for God's cause. For who created the
small nations if not He that created all great and small things in this
wonderful world? Or who has the divine right and sad duty to
exterminate, to suffocate, to enchain, the small creations of the
Highest if the Highest wants them to exist? Great Britain justified her
greatness by entering this war so as to protest against the violation of
right, even by those who agreed to this right, and to protect the small
and poor. It is easy to be physically great, but it is difficult to be
morally great.

Great is the power which violates the right, still greater is the power
which protects the right. To destroy is much easier than to build. To be
great and to be proud means not to be great at all. To be great and to
be modest means real greatness and belief in God. For who can be proud
believing in God? Or who can feel God in this Universe and still say, I
am great? Our modesty is only our confession that there is a God. Since
we see both ends of our life--birth and death--so near us, we must be
humiliated.

Yet who can see any end of God, either in the past or in the future?
Where are all the greatest empires of the past? All is dust under the
feet of the Eternal. Whither are we all going, great or small? To be
dust under His feet. From this dust will survive only the small portion
of God's spirit that dwells in this dust. All our thoughts and
feelings, and deeds and strivings, and struggles and passions, which are
directed towards dust will die together with our bodily dust. Only that
portion of our being which is directed towards God will survive, will
continue to live in the presence of God, will see God. For God only can
see God.
