All boys were expected to endure hardship without complaint. In savage warfare, a young man must, of course, be an athlete and used to undergoing all sorts of privations.

"My grandfather is not living, Dr. Hurlbut," she screamed into his ear. "Dead, is he? Well, it isn't long since he was with us; and they come and go,--they come and go. I remember his father, Major Gideon Withers.英文原著 · 《The Guardian Angel》
He would break the delusion that prosperity and morals were possible only under some one particular faith established by law.
