Goodness that takes the fight
out OF a man when fighting is
, necessary Is not the right brand
Of goods.
Iron Is needed In the blood, as
we'll as goodness, to make a man
a tower Of strength and the sue.

Z dertaking.
Nehemiah was such man.
He had the quality OF good
ness which made him a reverent
: and devout man before God and
a kindly, helpful man towards
his fellow man.
but these gentle oharacteris-
tics did not prove a weakness
when II came to facing the
forces Of evil. He could be as

He trusted in God, but II was
trustfulness which kept his eye
on the enemy and his hand on

He was such type Of man as
God gave to the United States
In the person OF Washington
and Lincoln, and the eulo2y
which President Roosevelt paid
these two great men would ap-
ply equally to Nehemiah, when
the president said:
"Each possessed all the gen.
tier virtues commonly exhibited
by good men who lack rugged
, strength Of character. Each
possessed all the strong quail
, ties commonly exhibited by
those towering masters Of man.

by which we signify the quail
ties Of duty, Of mercy, Of devo-
tion to the right, OF lofty dis
intercstedness In battling for
the good Of others. Each had
lofty ideals, but each in striving
to attain those lofty ideals was
guided by the sourdest common
) sense. Each possessed infex.
ible courage in adversely and a
: soul wholly unspoiled by pros.
} perlty."
How true all this Is Of Nehe-
miah, who sacrificed the luxury
5 and ease Of his palace position
: that re might become the great

the people with new loyalty to
Gods law.
Goodness Is not me ensured by
the length Of prayers or the
weight OF personal virtues, but
rather by the dynamic force
which is operative in the affairs
: Of men as result Of that reli.
