The Unoonquerable Spirit Of Man.
The discovery OF the south pole Is
now an old story. Yet Its lesson
tand its Inspiration will never grow
old. Its lesson Dis that careful
preparation as to every detail is the
secret Of great achievements. It's in
spiration lies in the fact that the
spirit of man can conquer all
things.
The unassuming way that Cap
tain Amundsen went about his task,
the faith he displayed In going
deeply into debt that he might
achieve his purpose, the fact that
he did not divulge hts plans until
ready to make the dash, the ample
preparations that rendered this
journey so much safer and easier
than any other polar exploration In
history. the conquering of the south
oole In order that he might raise
funds to carry ON extensive explor-
atoms in the arctic regions, the
simplicity Of his narrative after &C
complishing feat that might well
have turned any mans head. the
struggle over the mountain range
the thrilling journey to the pole. all
these give a touch Of the heroic n
the achievement and make a power,
full appeal 10 every heart. There are
few tasks so great that some man
VIII not prove equal to their per-
fcrmance. Whatever offers chal
ienge to the soul of man will in
time receive an acceptance of tn,
challenge.
Amundsen's feat is worthy to &c
beside that of Peary. OF course
| there we're no such difficulties In
the antarctic as the arctic, for The
reason that the south pole Is situ
ated on a continent, while the on,
te)nquered by Peary Is on an ic,
pack resting In great ocean. Ye
| ether was difficult enough to b
Eworthy of conquest.
Aside from the practical utilEt,
OF the discovery, the gain to science
the chief good of the achievement /
In Its example, The spiritual vic
tory was greater than the material
