"We'll outlive the taunts of those who would drag us into war!" he bellowed forth.

Whereupon the orator jumped to his feet and with clarion voice shouted, "God hates a coward!" and then sat down again.
Dazed at first the vast throng sat stupefied--but only for a moment.
Then as one man they jumped to their feet and by reason of prolonged cheering gave national impulse to a thought which has since been sermonized from thousands of pulpits.

The orator had simply paraphrased and put "pep" into the old Biblical slogan: "The Lord helps those who help themselves." The effect was electrical.

The whole country rallied to the idea with the result that we saved ourselves from war by showing the solid front of being ready and willing to defend ourselves.
Everything that tends to build up courage is an asset in life.

The more we have of it the further we go and the more interesting our lives become.
