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 only question right?” 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 pure only in his social nnd home hery; a soldi rj rtor without op-! m without mur-j public officer lie citizen with-! without hypo-1 ; guile.
