GLORY OF MARSHAL. FOCU

The glory Of Foch is not that
which comes from the plaudits of
the multitude, but ii is in his fdel-
ity to the trust imposed in him and
in the dcvoutncss and simplicity with
which he performed his duty" said
Rev. II. y. Williams, pastor OF Tab
crnacle Baptist Church, last night,
during the course of an address on
the achievements and greatness of
Marshal Ferdinand Foch.
There are three degrees of human
greatness" said the speaker. The
lowest probably is that in which we
find such men as Alexander, Caesar
and Napoleon. These men were great
and stood on the pinnacle of fame.
hut their accomplishments ran little
beyond that of personal desire. They
did great things because they wansc!
the acclaim OF the people. Another
class OF great men were those who
as intellcctuals OF the highest stamp,
such as Newton, Milton. Shakespeare
and others whose achievements were
of temporal character and which
shonc brilliantly in their respective
clements. Eut the highest Of all were
those whose work was for the good
of humanity. III this class arc men
like Moses, Cromwell and Washing
ton.
And" said MIR. Williams. cit may
he that when the historians of the
next generation write of great men
they will include Marshal Foch with
the names of those who followed
Moses, the greatest OF all"
while the world was looking TO
Foch for results" said Mr.. Williams.
