Makers Of Heroes.

Emerson says, Times of heroism are
generally times Of terror" They show
true character. 1t seems that human
nature needs a test to show the stuff
It's made Of. Spirits of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused by q
mighty challenge. 1t seems as though
there IL some militarism of the soul
that waits the fife call and the meas
ure Of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack Of occasion keeps the latent might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call and the sleeping giant rouses and
strides Hayward to the dismay Of petty
puppets of annoyance.
