the cause of the people made him our

depended as much on his character as
on his genius. And it was this charac.
ter, far above all jealous ambition, that
made him the n necessary choice as
the first administrator of a new govern
ment, which required in the first head
rather the gifts of faithful administra-
tion than of theoretic political inven-
ton. His marked superiority to all 9th
or men of his time and nation consisted
in his unselfish aud unambitious readi-
ness and ability to do faithful and ad-

both military and civil affairs.
Philip Schotf, d. D., LII. D.-Wash-
ington is one Of the greatest gifts of God
to the American people. The Almighty
Ruler of Nations placed at the head of
u history a man of singular purity of
private and public life that he might
command the respect and affection of all
subseq,. ent generations and bless them
by his example as a gentleman, a citi-
zen, a patriot, ageneral and a president.
The power of Washington's example
is simply incalculable. 1t is said that he
died childless that he might be the Fa-
Their of His Country. He is the child
less father of so. 900. 900 of children,
with the prospect of an ever increasing
posterity. Washington combined a num-
Der of the noblest qualities in even har-
mony. His greatness consists in his
goodness, and this is the best because it
is the most solid. the most beneficent
He succeeded where great men would
have failed. He was the right man in
the right place. Without approaching
the military genius and ambition of an
Alexander, II Caesar. a Charlemagne, a
Napoleon, without reaching as a states
man the height Of a Pericles, a Richie
lieu, a Chatham, u Bismarck, without
being an orator, as Burke or Webster or
Clay, he surpasses them all by the com
bination Of virtues and the absence o.
faults. He made no mistakes. There are
no black spots on his reputation. For
sound judgment, integrity, symmetry
and commanding dignity of character he
has no superior among great men. He
feared God and loved righteousness. His
sole ambition, his highest happiness,
was to do his duty and to serve his coun-
try. He gained the respect of all ma
tions. Some of the strongest tributes to
his name are from Englishmen who for
get the defeat of their country in the adj
miration Of his unselfsh patriotism.
Even Washington in his lifetime had
his r~evilers and slanderers. Tom Paine,
the infdel, had the i%mpudence to bark
against this cathedral and to publish
this attack against the president: "As
for you, Mr. Washington, posterity will

social life may not inaptly be indicated
by recalling the circumstances that his
name was freely canvassed as that Of
Mr. Delane's successor in the editOrship
of The Times. He knew nothing Of jour

had an unrivaled knowledge Of the
men and affairs Of his time, and it was
this fact and the reputation he had aG-

and soundness Of Judgment that led to
the association Of his name with the
editorship. Sir Henry had never dulled
the brightness of his outlook on life by
accepting the responsibilities Of matri-
