There Is n distinction to he drawn
between presence of mind aud cOur-
age. Persons who naturally are tlmid
and nervous will In circumstances OF
great danger and excitemeid perform
acts Of heroism that would be beyond
their powers on ordinary occasions.
We speak OF these as instances OF
presence Of mind But IL you ask
them they would tell you that an in
voluntary impulse rather than any
premeditated course OF action guided
their will on the occasion. Had they
time for reflection when all the threat
ening danger to themselves had be-
come clear to their minds their nat
ural timidity of character would have
asserted itself and deprived them Of
action.
IL Is absence of fear that prompts
the soldier under heavy FIRE from
the enemy's guns to go TO the assist
ance Of wounded comrade and bring
him to n place Of safety, and nothing
In human nature can compare with
such self sacrifice. But In times Of
sudden emergency II is not always
the bravest who act with promptitude.
