I think I can.” Haven’t you heard her
talk like that, and haven’t you seen
some little fellow saying, “I think you
can’t; I think you can’t; I think you
can’t?” And have you noticed what
little attention she had paid to him,
but how she has gone steadily on, “I
think I can; I think I can; I think I
can?” Watch her as she gets over
the brow of the hill and starts on the
level, as she quickens her wheels and
says, “I thought I could; I thought I
could; I thought I could.” Then every
body falls in line and says, ‘‘l thought
you could; I thought you could; I
thought you could.”
It was that way with us in those
days of struggle. I am speaking now
to my people, and giving those who
are not my people to see how we talk
to one another about these things of
the past. How those days tried our
souls, as slowly our wheels went
round! We were just fired with one
strange, mystical faith —“I think I
can; I think I can; I think I can.” And
tonight, as we stand, not upon the
brow of the hill, but having reached a
bit of the tableland, and realized a bit
of the rapidity of the turning of our
wheels in comparison with the years
gone by, they are saying, “I thought
you could; I thought you could; I
thought you could.” I want you to re
member that in all of this, courage, as
I have said before, is the one thing
that costs men most. There is noth
ing that costs like it. To begin with,
courage demands the most implicit
faith; faith of two kinds: first, a faith
in the scheme, and, second, a faith in
our ability, under God, to carry it for
ward. A few months ago I was trav
eling on a train, and by me sat for a
time an old Union soldier, an officer,
a general in the Union army, and he
could talk to me very freely and
frankly about his great admiration for
the soldieis of the Confederacy, and I
always listen attentively when men of
the North talk to me like that. And
he said: “Do you know what made
your men so very courageous?’’ I said,
“I think I do; but what do you think?’’
“I think it was due to two things;
your men in the South, whether right
or wrong, believed implicitly in their
cause; they thought they had a right
eous cause; and they also believed im
plicitly in their ability to win.”
Oh, it is true of us in every walk of
life; it you are engaged in a cause
that does not engage your whole con
fidence, you may just as well give it
up. You are a defeated man at the
start.
Then again, it sometimes demands
of men humiliation of such a character
as nothing else I know does. Take
these men to whom Hezekiah spoke;
they were just a remnant of the Jews.
Israel had been taken captive, but a
remnant of them had come back into
the old crumbled city of Jerusalem
for the purpose of rebuilding the
walls, and they were at work upon
them —just a little handful working
upon so gigantic a problem, and their
enemies gathered around on the out
skirts to watch them —and they said,
“What fools you are! Expecting to
build the walls of Jerusalem and re
build the temple that cost so much
and the work of so many—just you
poor little handful of Jews!” But
Hezekiah encouraged them by saying,
“Fear not; let your hands be strong.”
And so I say to you tonight, if you are
not prepared to encounter the most
intense form of humiliation at times,
you may just as well never aspire to
become men and women of courageous
undertaking.
It sometimes demands of men the
most intense personal self-denial. A
few years ago, when the fight of pro
hibition was before the Legislature of
Tennessee, there was an old farmer
bolding a seat in the Legislature. He
went down, occupied it, and declared
that he was going to fight for prohibi
tion. He had a son who was in the
State penitentiary. He was there for
taking the life of a man while he was
under the influence of drink. It was
found out by the enemies of prohibi
tion that this old man had this son in
the penitentiary for life, and they
made a scheme to buy his vote with
the freedom of his boy. They said,
“You have a boy in the penitentiary.
We are prepared to speak with author
ity. If you will cast your vote against
this prohibition bill that is now to be
brought up, your son, in a week or
two, will be pardoned and go home
with you and have his freedom.”
I wonder how many men in this
house could stand a test like that. I
tell you, friends, I would hate to have
that test put to me. The old man
broke down and wept at the thought
of freedom for his boy. He thought
of the boy’s mother —how it would
gladden her heart. Then he thought
Mrs. Vest Felt Like Crying.
Wallace, Va. —Mrs. Mary Vest, of
this place, says: “I hadn’t been very
well for three years, and at last I was
taken bad. I could not stand on my
feet, I had such pains. I ached all
over. I felt like crying all the time.
Mother insisted on my trying Cardui.
Now I feel well, and do nearly all my
housework.” No medicine for weak
and ailing women has been so success
ful as Cardui. It goes to the spot, re
lieving pain and distress, and building
up womanly strength in away that
will surely please you. Only try it
once.
