Washington rang true to the note of a
splendid manhood, Hypocrisy and a
trafficking In expedients for popular
applause no more match with his life
than the crime of murder. He had
little of the captivating style of speech
or manner but regard for the
nobility of his character, rather
than any rhetorical art or
of personal address on his par
kept wavering lines from retreat in
battle and from mutiny amid privation
and suffering to which our neglect had
exposed the soldiers of the Revolution,

His Personal Triumph
Then came the horrors
Forge and of the
county. Those were
desertions were many and enlistments
were few, when Washington dared not
give open battle and there was hardly
left to him a place for retreat. Then
came the Conway conspiracy, and the
ambition of Gates, and the cowardice
of Lee and the treason of Arnold, and
a series of persecutions So petty, so
bitter, so malignant, that it is amaz-
ing how Washington survived them,
Then, came defeats like that at
Brandywine, and battles of uncertain
meaning like that at Monmouth, . ., .
It Is easy for us as we read these
events in the light of the issue to keep
up our courage and understand the
triumph that finally came, but it was
a very different thing for Washington.
Congress was weak, meddlesome, and
vacillating,. The soldiers were raw,
undisciplined and sometimes mutinous,
There were jJealousies and libels and
forgeries and slanders almost beyond
our present ability to believe, . . .
When I recall Washington's calmness
in the midst of exasperating annoy-
ances, his unselfish loyalty when sur.
rounded by cupidity and Jealousy and
hatred, his faith that put courage into
the hearts of men who marched hun
gry and left bloody footprints in the
snow; when I remember how after
eight years of this and more he
emerged victorious, ag calm In victory
as he had been serene in defeat, I do
not wonder that Frederick the Great
is sald to have pronounced George
Washington's campalgn in the Jersies
the most brilliant In military annals.

Man of Firm Friendships
The chief thought that runs through
all the sayings is to practice self-con-
trol, and no man ever displayed that
most difficult of virtues to such a de
gree as George Washington, (Lodge,
Henry C.—George Washington (Amer
fean Statesmen), Vol. 1, p. 51.)
Solitude, indeed, ig the last quality
that an intelligent student of his ca-
reer would ascribe to him.
and reserved he was, undoubtedly;
and as this manner was natural to
him, he won more true friends by us-
ing it than if he had disguised himself
in a forced familiarity and worn his
heart upon his sieeve, But from first
to last he was a man who did his work
in the bonds of companionship, who
trusted his comrades in the great en-
terprise even though they were not his
intimates, and who neither sought nor
pecupled a lonely eminence of un-
shared glory. (Van Dyke, Henry—The
Americanism of Washington, pp. 4-5.)
His passions were strong, and some
times they broke out with vehemence,
but he had the power of checking them
in an instant. Perhaps self-control
wns the most remarkable trait of his
character, It was In part the effect
of his discipline; yet he seems by na-
ture to have possessed the power to a
degree which has been denied to other
men, (Sparks, Jared—The Life of
George Washington, p. 400.)
