A man may n. t hesitate to ace a battery or to attach a fe rocious animal, but when it comes to opposing some harm- breeding, popular fad, some so cial or political evil, his moral courage will be lacking. Of the two qualities moral courage is the greater and also the rarer. It raiuires a stroDg moral fiber to defy public opin ion and hold nrm to the high standard of right which con science sets up within us. Only they are truly victorious who have vanquished self, who have withstood temptation and who have endured sacrifices in their efforts to better their fellowmen. There was a great war hero physically brave, bearing scars received in deadly conflict and decorated with many medals be stowed in token of his deeds of bravery and daring. a?id yet this man had not the moral courage to face a woman's sneer. Not the man who has led an army to victory and who receives the plaudits of a hero worship ing world is not the true hero of humanity. It is the man who subdues, self, defends the right and by a life of noble purpose and effort conquers fate. Truly the world knows nothing of its greatest nien, for moral courage is not told of in books. We do not scan the papers in search of an incident of splendid moral courage, we pass n by uncon cerned in our eager search for the physically brave. The truly brave go on their way daily fight ing mighty secret foes, many of whom are born of heredity and and environment, overcoming temptations which strong war riors would not resist and carry ing on a silent strife for the right in the face of criticism from their companions. When these heroes die no marble monument marks the place where they sleep, no flowers planted by adu.iring hands, blooms above their heads no place is alloted them on His tory s page: the world knows them only as plain men, but in the Great Book of the Eternal opposite their names is stamped the word "Hero," and verily they have their reward '' Julia Co man Tait.J Givis Protection to Country Property Against Fire, insurance in force, 192 Ouo.00.
