No Retreat
H. O. Mackey. John 6:67-69 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will you also go away?… When Garibaldi sailed from Genoa in 1860 he took with him a thousand volunteers. They landed at Marsala almost in the face of the Neapolitan fleet. When the commander of Marsala, returning to the port, saw the steamers, he gave orders to destroy them. Garibaldi having landed his men, looked with indifference, almost with pleasure on the work of destruction. "Our retreat is cut off," he said, exultingly; "we have no hope but in going forward: it is to death or victory." (H. O. Mackey.)
