Mortal Remains
The Devil's Brigade
by S. M. Hutchens
I write this in honor of my old friend Kenneth McMillan, M.D., a great lion of God of whom you have never heard.
While I believe this essay to be a mirror of truth, I have disguised enough factual material to make identification of the protagonist unlikely for all but a very few. It deals with an episode in a certain man's spiritual autobiography that he showed little evidence of understanding, but which readers of this journal can both understand and find instructive.

—Alice von Hildebrand
"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
