----And
as
I
think
of
him
this
afternoon,
I
can
see
him--curiously,
for
I
can
hardly
explain
it--carrying
a
banner
as
in
battle
right
here
among
our
quiet
hills.
And
those
he
leads
seem
to
be
the
people
we
know,
the
men,
and
the
women,
and
the
boys!
He
is
the
hero
of
a
new
age.
In
olden
days
he
might
have
been
a
pioneer,
carrying
the
light
of
civilisation
to
a
new
land;
here
he
has
been
a
sort
of
moral
pioneer--a
pioneering
far
more
difficult
than
any
we
have
ever
known.
There
are
no
heroics
connected
with
it,
the
name
of
the
pioneer
will
not
go
ringing
down
the
ages;
for
it
is
a
silent
leadership
and
its
success
is
measured
by
victories
in
other
lives.
We
see
it
now,
only
too
dimly,
when
he
is
gone.
We
reflect
sadly
that
we
did
not
stop
to
thank
him.
How
busy
we
were
with
our
own
affairs
when
he
was
among
us!
I
wonder
is
there
anyone
here
to
take
up
the
banner
he
has
laid
down!
----I
forgot
to
say
that
the
Scotch
Preacher
chose
the
most
impressive
text
in
the
Bible
for
his
talk
at
the
funeral:
"He
that
is
greatest
among
you,
let
him
be
...
as
he
that
doth
serve."
And
we
came
away
with
a
nameless,
aching
sense
of
loss,
thinking
how,
perhaps,
in
a
small
way,
we
might
do
something
for
somebody
else--as
the
old
Doctor
did.
