They stand in one place and can he dejiended npon to do splendidly that one thing ' it is their genius to do. Others — and these are far fewer in numher — are endowed with many gifts and their lines of henevolent acti ity run out in as many directions. When they pass from sight the coniniunit - suffers a calamity that is not sjieedilv, if ever, repaired. Such a calamity has fallen upon the University at Lewishurg, Judge IcClure ' s home as a bov and the centre, for the most part, of his work as a man. Citizen. — to Ijeautif)- the town and to fortify its finances was his de- sire and care through many years. Lawyer, — to practice on those upper planes whither the mere pettifogger can ne -er come, was his constant ambi- tion and attainment. Ji ' dge, — to see not witli lilinded but with open eye all sides of the case and to hold in true balance the scales of Justice, was always his aim and accomiilishmeut. Scholar, — to know not only the law but to ha -e read widely the best that has been thought and said by men of letters and to continue an intimate and, of late, a ' ery important official connection with the L ' niversit}- here, was an absorbing delight of his life. Gentleman ' , — to maintain the bearing of the old school and to bend with the grace of the new, mingling ease of manner with strength of action, to be a knight toward women and a comrade among men. gi -en to hospitality, to illustrate the virtues of a loving husband and father, was the main design of his dailv walk and conver- sation. Churchman, — to hold fast the fundamentals in religion but with charity for all, and to make the church a permanent and ever-growing influ- ence for good, both moral and s])iritual, was the unshaken purpose of his mind and the abiding comfort of his heart. Friend, — to he sincereK- antl not merely professionally interested in others, high and low in e er-widening circles, to transmute his friendshii) from thought to deed so that the good he did by stealth was often found out oiih- In- accident and never advertised in the market (jlace or ])roclaimed from the house-top, was l.nit the inner man projecting himself, with unpreiueditated art, upon the outer world of toil and trouble with which he came in contact. Xo wonder that this rare and so benevolent combination attracted men beyond our borders until the Judge ' s reputation in all these respects had reached the confines of our great State, an empire in itself.
