MORAL HERoEs.-Strength of char
acter consists of two things, power OF
will and power of self-restraint. 1t re-
quires two things, therefore, for its ex-
istence: strong feelings and q strong
command over them. Now, we all very
often mistake strong feelings for strong
character. A man who bears all before
him, before whose wild bursts of fury the
children of the household quake, be-
cause he has his way in all things, we
call him a strong man. The truth is, he
is weak man it is his passions that
are strong; he, mastered by them, is
weak.
You must measure the strength Of a
man by the power of the feeling he sub
dues, not by the power of those that sub
due him. And hence composure is often
the highest result of strength. Did
we ever see man receive fragrant in
jury and then reply calmly? That man
is morally strong Or, did we ever see
a man in anguish stand as if carved out
of solid rock, mastering himself? Or
one hopeless in daily trial, remain silent
and never tell the world what cankered
his home peace? That is strength. He
who, with strong passions, remains
chaste he who, Indignation within him,
can be provoked, and yet restrain him
self and forgive, these are strong men,
the moral heroes.
