@ & Like history itself, the
subject is very expan-
siye and without limitations, be-
ing as it is but the written account
of the deeds of great and famous
men. Neither have 1 any idea that
any thing | might say will either
add to or detract from the reputa-
ton of any of the men mentioned
herein, and | mention them only
as a means of conveying my own
idea of great man. {
However, to write of them, to
study their lives and to discuss
their actions and motives even in
the humblest way must always be
profitable pastime. I have yet
to see anyone who obeying the
better part of his nature does not
worship at the shrine of greatness.
No nobler feeling than that of
admiration for those higher than
ourselves dwells in the heart of
man. Among great men each one
of us have our ideals and they
often have a great influence on our
lives. We look upon these ideals
;as our inspired teachers, we are
loyal to the righteousness of their
cause and we have unbounded
faith in their teachings, all in all
dt amounts to submissive admira-
'tion for the great man.
OF some of them it is said that
they are but the creatures of the
time, the time called them forth,
the time did everything, the man
nothing. But do we not know Of
times that called loudly for a man
of the hour but could not find him !?
The time serves only as an oppor-
tunity for some men to demon
strate those peculiar qualities
which Are of service only under
. certain conditions. We never know,
) for instance, whether man is a
military genius until we see him
in actual warfare.
My own conception of greatness
may be a wrong one. To my mind
true greatness lies not alone in
skill or genius in any calling un-
less something is accomplished
Thereby that benefits the human
race. Nor do / believe that any
man is great whose lifeis not an
ideal one, whose biography we can
not hand to the-youager genera
ton and say, There, my boy, is
the life Of a man after whom you
might pattern your own, duplicate
any one Of his acts and you have
not lived in vain."~ ssHe only is
great of heart who foods the
world with great affection. He
only is great of mind who stirs the
world with great thoughts. He
only is great OF Baii who does
something to shape the world to .
great career, and he is greatest who
does the most of all these things
and does them best" @sd
The soldier Of course appeals to
our Imagination as the greatest of
all men, perhaps because he is a
man of action rather than words;
the statesman, too, becaus6 81 the
superiority Of his intellect he
guides the destinies Of nations.
But we find greatness in other and
more peaceful callings as we'll.
Take for instance the poet. He
has been common figure to all
ages, and centuries ago was the
man Of the time. bnt to call him
SO today is to admit that our esti-
mate of great men is diminishing.
This for the reason that today we
have no poets with che intellect Of
Dante, Shakespeare, / Whittier OF
Emerson, whose worksaeres like
windows through which We Yet d

their works all these men were
great and that Italy may feel far
prouder of it's Dante than of its
Garibaldi, and that in Shake
speare, England has a king whom
neither time nor chance can de-
throne In Whittier we had a
poet, the elequence Of whose poems
was a powerful factor in the cause
of negro emancipation. In Emer-
son we had writer Of both prose
and poetry, who saw into nature
and human life with a power that
marked him as great man. ISL
In still another peaceful calling
we have great men, that of authors
land newspaper men. One Of the
most momentous, wonderful and
worthy things that man can pro-
duce is q book. From the in
spired authors Of the Bible to the
maker of the modern newspaper,
they have been an important ele-
ment in the progress of the world.
In their work we find the highest
product Of the human faculty.
The author and editor WELD vast
influence and, when used for a
righteous purpose or to in any
way alleviate the conditions of
mankind, are great men. This
must be SO when we realize that
books and newspapers are super
ceding the university and the mod
ern church. AS examples Of the
great in tlris calling I will only
mention Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Horace Greeley and all those fear
less men and women who fought
so valiantly for the abolition of
slavery.
Of the military type in our land.
[ want to say first that 1 believe
that every American soldier from
private to commander in chief is
or has the necessary qualities to
greatness.
OF Washington we can truly
say that pure patriotism was the
motive of his every act. It has
been said that he could not have
marched that great army into Rus
STA as Napoleon did in 1872. I will
not admit this, but granting that
he could not have done SO, it is no
more reflection on his ability than
it was on Napoleon's, when we
consider the historical fact that
while Napoleon got his army into
Russia, he failed to get it out.
We know also that Washington,
would never have plunged France
into that dreadful war IL has al
SO been said that he did not pos
sess the military genius Of julius
Cesar. Beithat asitgmay, he was
the greater man of the two. Caesar
overturned the liberties Of Rome, ).
Washington fought for the liber-I
ties Of his people, As Hamilton
said of his chief, THE voice of.
praise would in Iain endesvor to-
exalt a name unriHlIed in the lists
Of true glory;' or - Fox said, IA
character Of virtues Cd happily
tempered by oiis spother and SO
wholly unafloyed with any vices
as that Of Washington's il hardly
to be found on TIE pages Of his
tory" a57
Another soldier who appeals to
me for true greatness is Toussaint,
the black hero of st. Domingo,
who led his people out Of bondage
only to have them thrown back in
to chains by Napoleon Bonaparte
and to lose his life at the hands
of the same usurper. For his 10y
atty in saving this beautiful is
land for France, he was thrown in
to q dungeon and starved to death
by man very much his inferior.
The parisians dubhad him the

if in the whining tones of q Ma
poleonio mongrel. but rather in
tile courageous tones that Patrick
Henry must have uttered his ia
nous cry of, Give me liberty or
give me DEATH"
OF the soldier, Napoleon Bona
parte, suffice to say that he was
the slave of ambition and vanity
who killed and willed to kill altho
he was not a king seeking to
avenge crime against his conn-
TRY, but an individual who coveted
the entire world as a means of
clarifying himself. This man cam
not be great. That he sprung from
a nasty breed is further evidenced
by his brother who married an
American and promptly deserted
her for the pomp and glitter Of a
paltry crown.
Of statesmen, allow me to. men,
tion first Abraham Lincoln. Who
will dare to say that this man was
a creature of the time? Who will
dare to say that any of his public
acts were prompted by selfish
motive?f Is it possible for us to
think that but for the civil war he
would have gone down to obscure
|ity as an ordinary ex-president?
OF all the biographies I have read,
Lincoln's appeals to me as the one
man who fills every requirement
of true greatness. Honest, brave,
fearless and with a heart that
'throbbed with the current of a
warm, generous humanity, he en-
tirely fills the bill. From the
promptings of his heart, on the
battlefield of Gettysburg he deliv-
cred a short Grafton that is a
worlds classic, while the carefully
prepared grafton of a finished ora
tor delivered at the same time and
place has long since faded from
our memory. Fte left behind him
a fame far beyond that of any con-
queror the world has ever seen.
IF Thomas Jefferson was great
man then it must have been be-
cause he wrote the Declaration of
Independence. At heart he was
an aristocrat, who, if alive today,
would hold his nose above the
common people, yet he sought
popularity and catered to the COM
mon rabble, finding that by so do
ing he could best advance his own
ambitions. Not so with Alex
ander Hamilton; he was an aristo-
crat, but he never disguised his
own feelings for the sake of popu-
larity. His country was his first
consideration, himself the last. In
this. man We find the combination
oflthe soldier, lstatesman, financier,
lawyer, orator and all those finer
attributes Of nature that make the
great man. Of Daniel Webster I
will only say that while he was a
celebrated lawyer and orator, / be-
lieve he dimmed his own scareer of
greatness when he changed, base
on the slavery question. ust'eE sa
.ee Cardinal, lRichelien might have
beenIa great man had he not pos
sessed an nnfeeling nature. He
was undoubtedly just according to
his lights, but it was Justice with
pat the elements Of mercy. Bis
mafck has been heralded for his
greatness, bit I fail to see the
trait in any man who stoops to de-
ceit, falsehood or trickery Of any
kind to gain his ends.
