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 Ills name is unpublished in the press, but It is sung among the angels!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.
