The great soul is above petty animosities. The arrows of detraction leave it unharmed, and the roots of envy find in it no congenial soil. This is illustrated in the case of Robert E. Lee, before he had proved his real worth as a general. General Whiting, who had stood at the head of his class at West Point, severely criticized Lee on different occasions. But his criticism left no resentment in the breast of Lee, as subsequent events proved. One day President Davis asked Lee’s advice as to what he thought of Whiting’s being capable of taking an important command. Lee in reply commended Whiting as one of the ablest men in the army, well qualified in every way. One officer was greatly surprised at this, and, taking Lee aside, asked him if he knew what unkind things Whiting had been saying about him. Lee replied, “I understood that the president desired to know my opinion of Whiting, not Whiting’s opinion of me.” Certainly all who have access to the riches of the grace of Christ ought to be equally great-souled. And, reader, do you know what will enlarge the heart as nothing else?—Let Christ come in and dwell there.
