Courage has always been admired but
SINE tines people have admired phys cal
courage more than they have admired
moral courage. To my mind moral cour-
.re is as much above physical courage as
nan Is above the brute Physical courage
Il trait that man shares with all ami
nal creation, Moral courage is that char
icer which distinguishes animal frolu
nan, made In the im3ge of h IS Create.
i requires physical courage to stand ne
icre the bullets OF an enemy, yet when
tie aud drum inspire. few have been
known to retreat before the foe; uu,
polal courage Is often wanting where
PHYSICAL courage is present, and what th
Saton needs more than the physical cour-
We o. lie people is the moral courage ol
le citizen who would rather die RICH.
