resignation from the United States'
army in his hand and said quietly 10
his wife, Well. Mary the question Is
settled.
When several days later he wae
summoned from retirement to Rich
mond to take charge of the defense
Of his native State. he did it with the
same lofty sense of devotion to duty.
There was no self-seeking, but SUI
preme selfsurrender.
General Lee was man of unfail-
ing faith In God. His was not formal
faith, but n vital one. when he re-
ceived his commission from the Viz
Einia convention, he began his re-
plying by note that was character
istic of his entire career: Trusting
TO Almighty God" His letters, pub
lie and private. particularly the more
intimate OF his correspondence
abound in expressions of a living faith
in God When anxious about his fam
lily of whose condition and where
abouts ne frequently knew nothing.
he commended them to God. All
through his letters the same living
faith hreathes the spirit of the man.
General Lee was a man of unset
fish spirit in his relations with other
men. When things went wrong he
was ready TO assume all RESPONSE
,
other man from blame. One of his
earliest campaigns was into West Viz
gifffa 1t proved abortive and failed
Of the primary purpose intended. In
the rather inglorious retreat he took
the blame of failure. In the Gettys-
burg campaign, he bravely assumed
the burden OF failure and led his de-
feated army back with the same un-
broken spirit and confidence as he led
them in.
Shows No Jealousy.
when another rose to prominence
and threatened to eclipse the renown
of the great captain, he showed no
petty spirit OF jealousy or chagrin.
Writing to Stonewall Jackson after
his wounding at Charlottesville,
General Lee. lovingly testified to the
greatness of the other man: You have
lost your left ann, l have lost my
right arm in you.
When the war was over and con-
sternation reigned among a defeated
people, General Lee sent forth his
words OF confidence and sent the peo-
pie back to their farms and offices and
stores to mend their own broken for
tunes and build up their battered Sec
ton. Probably no greater moment
was in his life than when he took his
way across the Blue Ridge Mountains
to take charge of small Virginia
college. whose halls were empty and
whose fortunes like his own were
sadly broken
General Lee will always stand for
lhfty patriotism, for devotion to duty
in times of STRESS for faith in God,
for composure in adversely. for readi-
ness TO serve his country and people
In any place and any way they needed
him.
