Benefactor: Dead Hero, by Alfred Lawson — Page 1 2 3 4

beyond the reach of the live Cowards left below snarling over a measly bit of filthy lucre.
 But, the final power of the people must be put into the hands of those who will govern them with justice for everybody that will harm nobody.
 Cowards should not be allowed to govern the people. They will not fight for right against wrong. They take orders from those in power for fear that they may not share in the loot.
 Greed breeds cowards.
 Greed breeds theft, falsity, hate, famine, disease, weakness. cowardice and degeneracy.
 COW'ARD—A slippery poltroon who cows the weak and is cowed by the strong.
 HE’RO—one who will espouse and defend, at the cost of his life, that which is morally right against that which is morally wrong.
 It is morality that breeds genuine heroism in man, woman or child, not materials. Morality breeds unselfishness, high principles, kindliness, self sacrifice and free service to God and humanity.
 Therefore a hero leaves great principles for posterity to be guided by while a coward leaves a stench in the minds of the people.
 So, a dead hero serves Creation better than a live coward according to any kind of sensible reasoning.
