MEN WHO HAVE ARISEN


LESSONS FROM THE PAST


From time to time, men have arisen in our ranks with a message. But there were earmarks in their conduct and/or in their message that were as red flags which should have been a warning. Other men arose whose deportment and message were both beneficial.

Yet, as we view the past century, we find that, repeatedly, each new generation of our people who has come onto the scene of action has not learned from the mistakes of the preceding one.

Let history teach you. He who will not be taught by the past is condemned to repeat it. Learn the lessons that others before you have failed to learn.

The following study will only be a brief survey. Anything more than that would quickly become too lengthy and involved. However, several of these brief biographies may be found in expanded form in earlier studies by the present writer. —vf
