During the days preceding Easter, while Napoleon was preparing to overtake the Austrian village of Feldkirch, the residents gathered to pray for deliverance. On Easter morning the church bells rang to signal the day of worship. Napoleon heard the bells but didn't realize their significance; he thought the bells meant that the Austrian army had come to reinforce the village, so he sounded retreat. When the bells of Easter ring out, the enemies of God are forced to retreat. (McHenry's Quips, Quotes and Other Notes © 1998. Hendrickson)
