During the service, a stranger enters and addresses the gathering. He tells the patriotic crowd that their prayers for victory are double-edged-by praying for victory they are also praying for the destruction of the enemy... for the destruction of human life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally rejected for publication in 1905 as \"not quite suited to a woman's magazine,\" this antiwar parable remained unpublished until 1923, when Twain's literary executor collected it in the volume \u003cem\u003eEurope and Elsewhere\u003c\/em\u003e.
