NEED OF MORAL COURAGE.
Powerful Influence Exerted by tho One

Powerful Influence Exerted by tho One
Who Posssssos 1t.
; We use this term frequently, in dis
tinction from physical or animal cour-
age. The distinction, however, Is q
little puzzling but will not discuss
it. The uppermost thought in my
mind at present is, that the most of
people are greatly lacking in down
right, honest moral courage. Many
times 1t has been the case that one
man, having rugged moral courage,
will boldly speak out his mind on
some unpopular question, concern
ing which u dozen of his neigh
bors have the same opinion, but dare
not openly declare it, from sheer
cowardice. "A w hole company, large
at that, have been known to hold Ger !.
tain views concerning the matter, but
kept solemnly quiet until one brave
man expressed the same views without
apology, and then the rest of the com,
pany have cheered him and said,
''Thems our Sentiments exactly"
The great, stronglcaders of men are
they who have the highest type of
moral courage. God uses such ones
TO revolutionize bad society,". II.
Wetherbe, in Interior.
