The Heroism of Unselfishness.
To follow Jesus faithfully as we
have outlined is not always tho easi-
est thing to do. Indeed it takes tho
1'cro.c dement to be a real success-
ful unselfish Christian and thus be
great and CblcfcBt. And yet we all
lovo a real hero. 'Even tho Indlnns
had the'.r ideal of Heroism. To thorn
Oh grcat Is tho hero who wins a
name "
But greater many and many n time
Some 'jmle faced follow who dies in
shame.
And lets God finish tho fhot sublime.
And groat Is the man with sword un-
drawn
And good is the. man who refrains
from wise
llut tho man who falls and nIH fights
on
Lo he Is a twin brother of mine."
Tho Blblo Is full of heroes. It tekes
a hero to admit a wrong like David did
or to stand for u principle as Daniel
did. To give up a present good for a
future better as Abraham nnd Jesus
did and to die for a principle as Ste-
phen and Jesus did. (I'hll. 2:5-8).
Also how did you dlo?
Did you tackle the troubio that enme
your way
With a rosoluto heart and cheerful?
Or did you hldoour faco from the
light of day
With n craven soul nnd fearful?
Oh a trouble!! a ton or n trouble's
an ounce.
Or a trouble Is what Wo make It
