The American people hold in

In this great land Of ours there

Of heroes ready for an opportu-

the hero. The man who goes
down into the depths Of his own
heart and examines his motives
and then puts away overwhelm-
ing temptation-that man is a
moral hero, second to no hero OF
smoke and battle. The woman
who endures day by day and

some easy way out Of it-she is a
moral heroine, and Of such there
are more in this great land than

"a courage that had its source
in the repugnant sternness Of
our Revolutionary ancestors and
their lives Of daily sacrifice and
hardship. 1t was the thinking
bayonets Of the citizen soldiery
and this invincible moral cour-
age that gave the United States
in all wars the best armies that
ever marched or fought. Though
decimated by disease and thin
