He broke a nation's slumber with his cry, and it rose up. He touched the e\·es of blind men with flame and ga,· them ,·ision. Souls became swords through him; swords became servants of God. He was loyal to his country, and he exacted lovaltv: he loved manv lands. but he 10\~ed -his own land be-st. He was terrible in battle, but tender to the weak, joyous and tireless, being free fron~ self-pity; clean with a cleaaness that cleansed the ail like a gale. His courtesv knew no . wealth or class; his frie~dship, no creed or color or race. His courage stood every onslaught of savage beast and ruthless man, of loneliness, of victory, of defeat. His mind was eager, his heart was true. his body and spirit defiant of obstacles. ready to meet what might come. He fought injustice and tyrann~>: bore sorrow gallantly; loved all nature. bleak places, and hardy companions hazardous adventure and zest of battle. \\'here\·er he \vent, he carried his own pack; and in the uttermost parts of the earth, he kept his conscience for his guicle.-Herman Hagedorn, in Boy Scout Handbook.
