where his children were horn—all
for th supreme desire to serve v '-ere

the
Mexico; for a time was the office
charge of Indiun affairs; led
ed John Brown ; and
was offered the position of Com-
mander-in-chi:*f of the Army of the
United States when war was declar
ed a gains', the Confederacy. When
Virginia seceded from the Uni*
resigned his place in the army nnd
offered himself as a private
company his son was organizing.
Virginia next called him to com-.
mand her forces, then the section of I
which his native state was u part)
offered him the leadership of her:
united .armies.
Lee ate the same kind of food that |
was furnished his soldiers, slopt in a i
tent, nnd endured the hardships of
his men. He fought against odds,
from the beginning of war until its I
end, yet without one word of com
plaint. Armies directed by four dif
ferent generals were ordered by the
Federal war department to overcome
him, yet without success. They were
McClellan. Pope, Burnside, and
Hooker.
Finally Gen. Grant with 120,000
well-armed, well-fed, well-clad sol
diers was given the task. Lee had
only 35,000 men in rags and tatters

Politicians, indeed, may
the gift of leadership and
to go into forbidden path:
eral may be so foolhardy as to send j
his men needlessly to destruction. A i
teacher may so instruct as to cause
wrong thinking, warped minds, and
twisted consciences. Yet Lee exer
cised tin- leadership that carried men
into correct paths; he taugh those
principles by precept and example,
that made men love right, shun evil,
ami act nobly.
The question that nuturally arises,
then, is “What kind of greatness
| rhould men most honor in their f«*l-
ien?” If he had been great only
immandcr-in-chief of the Con-
| federate .armies posterity would dc-
‘ light to honor him; if he had been

P
the abitrament of the s\
last years were his greatest. He had
no unkind words for those who had
been his foes in the mighty conflict
between the two s?c‘-ions of hi.-* he
loved nation; and his great amhitior
throughout life was to do his dutj
and encourage others to do thosi
things that mean the making of bet
ter citizens.
Posterity may never realize 1
fullest extent how nobly he
during the awful struggle; nor may
the world ever .appreciate the in
fluence that his great life had on the
nation from 1865-1870. During this
period General Lee did more to make
the states one united nation than any
other man, North or South; and I
make bold the assertion that as he J
directed the affairs of Washington
College and ccat his influence for the I
entire country he was the greatest
