which nobody can defend, while
courage commands the respect of all
men. All men who would make their
bodies servants of their minds must
possess courage.
The exercise of moral courage is
essential to the highest achievement
and happiness. We should ever strive
to shape our lives after the divine pat
tern. The fear of censure has often
usurped the throne of reason.
In international relations there is
lack of true courage. Injustice, wrong
and oppression are worse than war. A
glance at continental Europe shows
pusillanimity and weakness in allow
ing the dogs of war to be turned loose
on christian peoples, which future
historians will condemn to the end of
