preme effort of the will, can over
come cowardice by nipping it in the
bud. When fear begins to sap his
resolution, strength and determine
ton. he must quickly substitute an
other emotion. He can allay his
fear, or at least control ii, until
he can get firm grip upon him

He should face the danger and try
to force himself to remain calm. II
he turns his back to the enemy his
fears are magnified; if he faces the
enemy, though he be very much
afraid, the danger doesn't seem half
as great. And as he faces the en-
envy a little flower of confidence
blooms within his heart. With each
enduring moment his courage more
and more supplants his fear, until
the latter is crowded into the back
