When the| men were asked to mention some me whom they considéred heroes, Washing- ton, Lincoln, Roosevelt and others were named, the opinion was given that these were heroes because they followed the| leading of duty in doing What they be-| lieved God would have them do under the | circumstances. Volstead, the father of| the prohibition law was mentioned as a | moral hero, and the question arose which took the mose courage, to fight with guns in the army. or to fight moral battles; different opinions were given but the vast majority believed that while we must not minimize the heroism of the men who fight for country in batije, the men who fight the greal moral battles Within themselvés and for others are really the greater heroes; that it takes more real courage to fight moral 1 physical battles.
