More from Henry Cabot Lodge
He preached unceasingly the familiar morals which lie at the bottom of both family and public life.
His ideal of public service was to be found in his life, and as his life drew to its close he had to meet his ideal of sacrifice face to face.
He was also--and this is very revealing and explanatory, too, of his vast popularity--a man of ideals.
His country asked the sacrifice and he gave it with solemn pride and uncomplaining lips.
