Overcoming Physical Handicaps.

A bundle of tangled nerves cann0
respond to the music of the Aeoliap
harp of right living. Many great men
we're handicapped in life by delicate
bodies. but they called will and deter
nination to their assistance and tri.
lmphed over corporal weakness. Paul
was a hunchback, yet became the
greatest OF preachers. Julius Caesar
never planned battle without an at.
tack of epilepsy. Pascal was an in
valid from early manhood. Alexan.
der Pope was dwarf and the butt
of ridicule. Milton was blind. but
saw more with the eye of intellect
than any other man. Parkman, our
greatest historian, suffered all his
life, and could not use his eyes for
more than five consecutive minutes.
Beethoven drew forth matchless and
immortal harmonies, but his dull ears
could not absorb the ecstatic sounds
These men. however, fought so well
against natural drawbacks that they
became victors.
