Rev. Mortimore
Gives Address to
Student Body
At an assembly In commemoration
of Washington's birthday, Reverend
Morttmore of the Christian church,
gave an Interesting address on the
characteristics that made George
Washington a great man.
Some of hi a greatest virtues were:
Foil tones:
Iri his rules tot conduct he said
that he would endeavor to conduct
himself In a way offensive to no man.
. Reverence:'
He said, "Let me always speak of
God with reverence."
Kindness:
Hid kindness won the hearts of the
men In the Revolutionary army. Ho
loved children and wns often seen
: telling them stories and amusing
them.
Patience:
He did not go about without first
thinking what would be best to do.
The colonies won the Revolutionary
war mainly through Washington's
patience during the time he was gen
eral. Honesty:
He did not make rash promises but
when he gave his word he kept It,
Generosity:
Washington gave hla money, his
health, and himself to his country.
He had sufficient monoy and posi
tion to be able to enjoy life at Mount
Vernon, but he spent many hard
years In the service of his country.
When the government no longer had
funds with which to pay the soldiers,
he paid their salaries out of hla own
pocket, not receiving one cent for
himself during the whole war.
People who wtBh to be successful
must have at least a part of these
characteristics. Success Is not hand
ed out but must be sought aftor
through hard work and self-sacrifice.
