with goodness. though good health
and goodness are by no means un-
related. There have been In the
world too many excellent people who
have been invalids, who have been
strong in spirit II weak in body, to
suggest that goodness and goodness
are matters OF physical constitution.
But no man or woman, sick or well,
has ever lived a good or great life
without discipline.
1t would probably be found that
many Of the weak and III, because
Of their very physical weakness and
illness, have had TO subject them
selves to a discipline and SCI con-
tro. for greater than that exercis-
ed by those who have had no prob
lem Of Ill health.
Daniel is the type Of temperate
man with his life under perfect con-
troll, the man Of clean thoughts and
habits. 1t was demonstrated long
ago, as In ever age. that the tenn
perate man has q far better chance
for life and effectiveness than the
man who Is indulgent In drink. food
or any other bodily allurement or
pleasure.
Recently q man Of distinguished
and national position found occasion
to contrast two pictures Of his college
days, which he had discovered 30
years after graduation.
One picture was Of q group OF II
students. all OF whom were total
abstainers. IN the other group were
IL, none OF whom were ab~stainers:

some drank to excess. others In mod
Grafton.
The distinguished man did not
presume to draw conclusions toe
rigidly from the evidence. but he
called attention to the fact that out
Of the first group eight were still
living. and most Of them were still
going strong.
OF the other group there Is not
q single one living today. I.ven had
died before 40 years had passed and
none survived TO attend the 50th
anniversary Of their class.
In our country today there Is q
profound need for considering such
elemental contrasts, Just as there Is
profound need for developing the
spirit Of Daniel - the courageous
spirit that dares to decline to do
something harmful to ourself or
others Just because others are doing
It.
A race Of Daniels would be a race
OF men strong, steadfast, and equal
70 any emergency. In the Daniel
spirit we could not only solve all our
problems, but we could build here In
America q nation Of supermen.
