In the time of Napoleon I a certain man agreed to join the ranks in the place of a comrade who had been drafted. The offer was accepted, the battle was fought, and the man was killed. Some time after another draft was made, and they wanted a second time to take the man whose substitute had been shot. “No,” said he, “you can’t take me; I’m dead. I was shot at such a battle.” “Why, man, you are crazy. Look here, you got a substitute; another man went in your place, but you have not been shot.” “No, but he died in my place; he went as my substitute.” They would not recognize it, and it was carried up to the Emperor; but the Emperor said the man was right. Napoleon I recognized the doctrine of substitution.
(D. L. Moody.)
