Priest Sang As Foe Fired.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 16, 1912:
Encouraged Montenegrins to Hold Turks Until He Was Killed.
    LONDON, Saturday. Nov. 16.— A correspondent of The Morning Post with the Montenegrins describes an act of heroism by a priest who led the soldiers in battle when their commander was killed. This occurred Thursday during an unsuccessful attempt by the Turks to storm a position held by the Montenegrins in the valley of the Boyana River. When the commander was taken to the rear, mortally wounded, the chaplain gave him a benediction.
    "Then," says the correspondent, "he snatched up a rifle and cried to the soldiers, 'Forward, Sons of Chernagora in defence of the cross and the glory of King Nicholas!'
    "The priest, brandishing his cross like a banner, had reached the firing line when a fresh and more furious volley came from the Turkish column. He stood alone among the recumbent soldiers, who continued to fire. Then he began to chant the hymn, 'God Against the Infidel.' He reached the lines which in English run:
            Tribulation shall not avail
            To bend the army of the Lord.
when his voice suddenly died away. He waved his arms about his head and fell on his face with a bullet through his heart."
