 General Secretary Edwin Hill was
 the speaker of the afternoon and said
 m part; T want to talk to you today
 on Bravery and Coufage. There are
 different conceptions or phases of
 these two virtues. The crowds who
 stood in front of the bulletin boa s
 Fourth of July to watch the returns of
 the prize fight would probably say
 that the fighters had plenty of cour- age or bravery to face each other for the heavy blows. This is one kind of
 bravery but at best but a brutal kind
 Those who watched, Harry HaWker sail away in his airship, and those who watched our Yankee boys rise in the air for the long flight acress the ocean doubtless felt that these men had great deal of courage and they had brave hearts to attempt such an extraordinary stunt.
 While We do not admire the spirit that dominated Germany in the recent a~ful war, we must admit that the men Wno p1loted the merchantman submarine across the ocean most of the time submerged, had the spirit of bravery and courage. The subrnarine IS no place for timid and weak. but this work calls for the brave and the courageous. We all join in hearty applause and alteration for the two millions of our American boys who mi themselves at the disposal of our gov ernment when the crisis came; wheth- er they went to France or not. they had the same spirit and those who did not get across were sorely disappointed. How brave they were and with what courage they went forth. With what splendid spirit of courage the boys were dying how very brave they were one young American eoldier who was qylng From his wounds told his nurse about the battle and as he was about 9 .o dle, he exclaimed, but we took it'' This Is most certainly a high type of bravery and courage,
 , we cannot forget the bravery and courage of the mothers and fathers who gave their boys to their country, and prayed that they might do tY3eir duty and then return. many of whop, never will come back; this was a age.
 But the highest type of bravery and courage is found, not in these experi- ences, as splendid as they are, but in the arena of the heart is where the greatest battles are fought. Jab is a shining example of this; when his best friends urged him to curse God. he re- piled. Tho He slay me, yet will I trust linn stephen won a great victory when he prayed for those who were stoning him to death
