. . . He was noted for his de- termination. To his lot, in consequence, fell many necessary and thankless tasks. He likewise escaped many empty honors. For where he went, he worked. No one ever thought of preferring him to a post merely honoris causa. For people knew that in get- ting him they got not a figurehead, but a man who was certain to make himself felt; not because he tried to do so, but because it was in him to do it. He entered concerns not by the postern-gate of pop- ularity, but by... the portal of inevitableness. He was chosen because he was necessary. And he stayed for the same reason. " " He was apt to be right, that is, to be wise. His judgment of things within his MAJOR SAMUEL LAWRENCE 183 own field was excellent. It was essentially sound. His was that uncommon sense-possession, the pos- session of common sense. Instinctively his mind worked correctly. It was the exact opposite of the mind of the crank, which may often hit off a brilliant conception, but which is too unsafe to be trusted.
