/ Uncommon Sense ..- JOHN BLAKE REAL COURAGE^ To be feared of a thing and yet do it, la what makes the prettiest kind of a man.—Robert Louie btevenaon. F YOU have read “Kidnapped” yon remember the quotation. It was oken by Alan Breck after the boy, David, had stood for a minute terrl- fed on the bxink of a roaring torrent, And tbenf still sick with the fear of Itrleaped across. ' To Alan Breck, the leap meant lit tle. It required no courage for him to make It, for he knew very little of fear. But for the boy. who did the thing he feared as he feared death, it was a real act of heroism. The only real courage consists In doing the thing we are afraid to do. The hulking prizefighter of the John Sullivan , type, who has as much im agination ns a grizzly bear, is not brave. He is sure he is going to win. •It takes no courage to go into a win ning fight. The bully is never brave. In fact he is always a coward. Feeling sure ness to take a chance, to attempt some dangerous thing for the kind of cour age that counts.'

It was not wanting to die, and knowing that •oken by Alan Breck after the boy, an operatioa may send him out or the world, cheerftilly goes to the table, to take the one chance that may mean his continued support of his wife or his dependents. Often the timid school boy, who fears to quarrel, and tries his best to keep his peace with his fellows, gets the name of coward. But when this same boy has to fight for what he thinks is his honor, or to save a little boy from a bully, he becomes a very dangerous fighter. Real courage is not daunted by pain. The boy or the man who fights when he is afraid to, stops being afraid of anything, pain, or a black eye, or punishment. He fights because he has courage, and he usually wins. % • There Is more real courage 'n this ., , , .. , world than you fancy. It is behind that hi, ,,.parlor alte .111 carry him 0| , achievement.

The burnt roll was reproduced by the command of the Lord, and many like words were added unto them. We shqiild learn from this Incident— The Indestructibility of God’s Word. Men may cut it to pieces and bum It. but the Word of God shall stand forever. It comes to light again with woes added to be visited upon its would-be destroyers. 2. The reason men attempt to de stroy God's Word. It Is because of the authoritative rebuke of their sins, The Bible arraigns man for his pride and wickedness and asserts God's sover eign power over man and his demand for a* personal surrender unto Him and worship of Him. 3. The Method of Attempted De struction of God’s Word. It was part by part. “When Jehudi had read tlfree or four leaves he cut it with a penknife.” The rationalist today cuts out the biblical conception of God as a being whose essential nature de mands punishment of sin; therefore he cuts out the Bible doctrine of man ns created of God in His likeness and image. Instead of that he makes man a product of evolution; therefore be explains away the fall of man.
