BY which those great in war, are great in
The spring of all brave acts is seated her
AS faisehoods draw their sordid birth fro
Farqnbar-
no YOU do things because you have the
- courage and foresight to do them or be-
cause your animal nature has been aroused
and you are lighting back?
There is a difference you know!
No soft speaking person ever got very far
UNLESS THEIR SOFT VOICE WAS DELHI
ERATEi An intelligent individual may know
that gracious attitude is more successful than
an antagonistic one and this method.
whereas an unintelligent one may this
method because of fear lack of courage
There is vast difference and you'll see it when
there is NEED FOR DEFINITE STAND or
COURAGE TO ATTACK! Then your coward
will lack the stamina and force of character to
DRIVE THROUGH or CALL A WEAKLING'S
BLUFF! Napoleon wasn't very big man phys
ically, but he HAD WHAT TT TAKES!
The other day sat at luncheon with men,
Der of one of the largest organizations in the
world and we discussed the president of this
great enterprise.
HE Is such a small, funny-looking little
man." said commenting on the chief executive
"You know how he got his place in the world
don't your" asked this firm member. I re-
piled that had never heard the story, so he told
it to me-and here it is:
"This man was poor inventor working in an
attic. He sold his invention for a mere song,
and started out getting job in little plant at
a modest salary. One day he resigned and said
that he was resigning to become president of
the larger organization. Everyone laughed when
they heard that he had gone to work for the
other crowd for practically the same salary
Little by little he started buying up odds and
ends of stock and soon he had scouts buying
it. One day, couple of years after that he
walked into directors meeting and when ques-
toned as to his right to be present said that
',e was going to become the president. When
he men laughed, he laid his portfolio the
iong table and they found that he owned 81
percent of the stock! He discharged the dis
honest directors and made himself president.
Under him the company has grown to be the
largest in its field, in the world
THERE was seemingly meek man who prob
ably seldom raised his voice! But when he
did he swirled the lash There was another
story you remember-the story of a meek Naz-
arene who walked into temple and drove out
money changers with corded whip.
So you see it really makes a difference
whether your mental strength matches your
physical strengthen whether you are just
big hulk of flesh and bones. If you are the lat
ter then not even the fact that you are good
to look upon will help in the running Of ifes
race
It's better to be a homely little creature and
have a fine courageous mind than it is to be
magnificent animal with empty cells for brains!
All men have godly qualities-but these,
now know, are mental and not physical Here
our psychologists and medical men along with
all educators have brought enlightenment. Once
there were so-caled diyinities of Olympus and
the ancient Greeks worshipped them. Today the
laboratory has replaced the temple and we have
but the richness and beauty of the ancients to
adorn our language. Many of best known
words have come from them. To them was
always found in company with some god and
we know that man, left to himself has AL
WAYS CONSTRUCTED A GOD OF HIS OWN!
The forces of nature to the ancients were sem
tent beings and are often clothed with conscious
power.
Here you see pictured Centaur To the
Greeks these NEUROLOGICAL monsters were repre-
sented as men from the head to the lons, while
the remainder was that of horse Often we
find ourselves wondering how the human mind
could have conceived such thing but believe
it came about because even in those days men
realized that man something more than an
animal! They were willing to concede that men
IZED THAT MAN is THE GREATEST GRE
ALTON OF ALL THE UNIVERSE!
believe that man is the finest of all creation
BECAUSE HE is THE ONLY ONE WITH
GODLIKE INTELLIGENCE - BECAUSE HE
CAN THINK AND CAN COMMUNICATE HIS
THOUGHTS!
Many of the Centaurs were renowned for
skill in hunting, medicine, music and the arts of
prophecy, so you see the ancients ascribed to
their NEUROLOGICAL gods the highest types of
thought, although they still labored under the
delusion that man is an animal-and the truth
of it is that man, in his highest type, is more
god than animal
THERE ARE PRACTICALLY NO LIMITS
TO ACHIEVEMENT IF YOU WILL THINK
@NE of most impressive examples of
this is probably Roger w. Babson who,
