WHAT CONSTITUTES A HBRo1NBY

In time Of war the palm for heroisun Is accorded
not to him alone who shows his mettle ON the field
on pettle, but TO the commander who endures &
long and stubborn siege. to the lone sentry who
sticks TO his post IN the midst Of q rain of bullets
If this use Of the world holds In warfare why not
when the spirit is called in everyday ufe2
The man or woman who springs before swiftly

jaws OF death, at personal risk. even loss per-
haps. OF life, is applauded by the world as & hero
and Justly SO. But the big short sighted, thick
headed world. which is able to mako out the word
''herosn' when 1t is spelled large and plain
rarely decpher II when written In the delicate
ly traced character Of everyday life. And yet a
close knowledge Of the life and character OF this
hero heroine would doubtless reveal the fact
that this sudden act called for less actual heroism
So trained was every muscle Of the body, every
process of the mind IN the principle Of putting self
aside in the interests Of Others that when the time
came for instant action every part Of the body and
mind acted together spontaneously, and the deed
was done almost before the doer of IL aware
For such a deed of heroism praise is too high,
but the iulrulse Of that moment had It's root in
what was much harder. the daily laying down OF
life for others in thousand little ways Shall the
act receive praise and the whole life be count
