Excerpt from Brave and True: Talks to Young Men
It is not the soldiers that do all the fighting. Many a young man who knows nothing of military drill, and never shouldered a musket in his life, has daily to join in a battle that puts his mettle and courage to the test. There are foes to be encountered and victories to be won in the office, the workshop, the exchange, or the street, and hundreds of other places at home, that demand of our youth a pluck and heroism quite as great as though they were summoned with rifle and knapsack to the banks of the Nile, or to the wilds of Afghanistan. The commercial and social life of to-day presents abundant opportunities for the display of all those qualites that constitute true manliness. Temptations are more manifold and insidious than ever.
