TT IS not the general who takes a
city and leaves behind lilin n name
for military sagacity, who Is the real
conqueror In life, hut the unknown
private, who lights a single-handed
battle with self and finally triumphs.
It Is this lowly warrior who has
the most to overcome. He goes to
battle in silence, conscious of the over
whelming odds arrayed against him.
There are no shrieking shells or
roaring cannon to announce his com
ing—no bugle’ calls nor throbbing
drums.
Often be fights side by side with
thousands who utter not a sound.
Once he awakes to some defect of
character which threatens Ids ruin,
lie girds his urmor und faces the
foe.
And if by valiant fighting he suc
ceeds In saving himself, he comes
forth from the fruy a real conqueror.
Ills name is unpublished in the
press, but It is sung among the angels!
He lias overcome und to him will
he given the rewurd promised in the
Scriptures.
Passion, pride, selfishness, avarice, j
disobedience and forgetfulness of the !
Golden ltule are among the enemies |
that men fight alone.
They are in every comer of the t
earth, in our own homes, in our own .
hearts.
From them come our reptnings and
tears, our fears and failures.
To overcome those sulking foes
ought to he our paramount purpose,,
for, “what doth it profit a man If '
lie gain the whole world ami lose
his own soul?”
In the world’s news today you may
read puthctic stories of men nnd worn-'
en who have fallen from high estates J
through failure to conquer themselves, j
Married pairs have broken their i
troth; hank clerks have pilfered, and j
nil manner of men and women have
hllghte.d their lives and the lives of
their families, simply because of for
getfulness of duty In a moment of
weakness, when they were unable to
control an evil spirit.
They lacked the power to conquer
self, and In their Impotence they de
serted the front line of brave fighters,
slunk hack In dismay to the rear,
humiliated and routed, lost In the
whirl of Time and remembered no
more.
