that have become rather common on the

years through lax traffic regulations. OF

burned him alive.
AS he stood fastened to the post, while executlOners
piled the wood around his feet, little child tnnk

added it to the bonfire
Sacred simplicity" said the great man, looking
down without anger upon the child, as he looked with

In one day in Strassbourg six hundred Jews were
burned to death because they would not deny their

by swearing to lie.
Probably thew also felt that they were failures. Each
might have written as Scott wrote in his diary, Our
dead bodies must tell the tale.
Those six hundred dead bodies in Strassbourg those
mutaed charred corpses, and hundreds of thousands
of Others tell the tale of persecution that has end

that has endured through tens of centuries to
at last.
Among the earliest, most daring and greatest ex.
plorers of the country in which we live were mission
aries, priests from France. These men explored the
North and the West. They lived among the Indians,
tried to change their hopeless savagery into human
kindness One after another dozens of these devoted
were tortured and killed by the sayages whom
they sought to befrend
Imagine of those missionary priests alone in the
Western woods, tied to tree, tortured slowly and
brualy for hours perhaps for days. and permitted to
die only when all power of suffering had gone.

AS they died alone to be heard of again. their
work seemed failure but in reality it great, eter
nal success
Nathan Hale mere boy, must have felt that HIS
life was failure as he stood with the moose around his
neck waiting for death. But everybody knows to-day
that his life and death of the highest value to his
own and future generations. Had he lived to be the
greatest soldier in the army of America, in any
army, he could not have done as much for humanity
as he did in dying shameful DEATH regretting that
he had but life to give for the cause in which he
believed.
So it has been from the beginning That which the
world has called has been often failure and
that which men in themselves have condemned
failure has been great and wonderful success.
The world will have forgotten the names of sue
CESSFUL explorers and will still remember the brave,
quiet Englishman who had all in the way of courage
that any could have, yet honored his nation

And unfortunately, this, too, will remain true: Suc+

The mass of those that work and share the risk and

The whole world talks of Scott and he deserves it.
But what of the men, unnamed unknown, who vol~

risk that he took WITH NO HOPE OF THE GLORY
THAT MIGHT BE HIS?
What about Seaman Evans, ill because of exposure.
a giant in physical strength Scott testified who
struggled with frozen feet until he lost his mind?
When this man started on the expedition he had no
hope of glory He knew that his would scarcely
be remembered heard of except among his
friends and family.
Yet he did everything that the greatest explorer
could have done, since he showed all courage.
What Seaman Evans " did this expedition

ordinary workers. have done in generations gone by,

You read of the discovery of Pole the taking of

deeds in history. And you hear of two men for
whom the limelight and the glory are reserved.
But you do not hear of those who, like the common
sailor Evans started out without hope of glory, and vol
UNFAIRLY died Sin order not to interfere with the prog

And the Seaman Evans" type of human being is not
found in Polar expeditions in battling armies alone.
There are such men working night and day to keep
their families going, working without hope, knowing
that the best they do to keep things goingyet
working desperately to the last.

Others blundered; he did not. Others undoubtedly
used I'm the stores of the fuel that should have brought
him to safety. But he made no complaint accused no
One since he lacked positive information and when the
time came he died he had lived, with absolute, adj
mirable, physical and spiritual courage.
CAPTAIN Scott typfes, above all others in recent
days the extraordinary qualities that have made the
history of England great history and that have made
the of England rulers so great part OF the
earth.
First we learn from the work and the death of this
brave Engishman that to the world as whole failure
is often more valuable than success
In his own eyes, of course Captain SCOTS noble
effort failure.
He reached the Pole only to find that another,
Amundsen had been there before him. He could not,
therefore, claim enjoy the glory of original dis
covery.
He fought his way back after that first bitter dis
appointment only to find fuel missing where it should
have BEEN only to realize that in the end he must die
in that barren land TO the child born to him
in his absence.
AS he wrote his last message with stiff fingers Scott
felt that his ehOr HAD FAILED.
But how far from failure it is; how this dead man,
his body lying the frozen Pole, stands high above
the most successful CiscOverers and adventures of
his age
His short message has done more for humanity
Poles, in any other way, proving again, which
was not necessary that Englishmen are courageous
and reckless of life with an object in view.
Those few words from the land of perpetual
and ice These rough notes and dead bodies must
tell the tale worth to the world than all the
thrilling accounts of worth infinitely to
humanity and to the inspiration of humanity than the
success of Peary an Amundsen, dozen like them
And as it is with Scott, glorious, useful, inspira
ton to humanity in what HE thought failure
il has been the beginning of hstOry-One failure
after another, failure called. has set before the
world the examples that it needed, and lifted human
ity up TO a success greater than any for which the
