By George Matthew Adams

"Let me sleep," was the command of Napoleon, when retiring on the eve of a great battle. "But in case of an unexpected crisis, wake me immediately!"

The Conqueror is not afraid.

General Philip Sheridan, riding his black steed over twenty miles of uncertainty during the Civil War, after being informed of the conquering enemy, had but one thought in his mind - vic-tory. So as he rode into the ranks of his terrified comrades, he cried: "Turn boys, turn — we're going back." And they went back. And won!

The Conqueror lives on crises. Striking his will against the flint of his soul, he produces the fire that spurs and drives him to his goal. He alone is the happy warrior.

The Conqueror is the visionist, the enthusiast, the determiner— the smiler!

The scrubwoman may be a Conqueror. The worker at the most menial task may be greater than any Napoleon. Glory is merely recognition.

The humdrum may have its disadvantages and discouragements — but it may father, in its way, Conquerors as great and as worth while as any of time or place.

For the Conqueror first wins all of his battleswithin his heart.
