continued and sustained pros-
perity will enervate and under-
mine the physical, mental and
moral stamina of any pedpie.
The human animal is all too
prone to over-indulge in the good
things of life. Put a man on
hi^ mettle to wrest existence
from a reluctant world, and in
the effort every fiber of his be-
ing is necessarily developed to
the uttermost, and he emerges
an invincible specimen of the
fighter.
