Great men are to a certain extent the product of their day and generation. They are thrust out upon the arena of some crisis. At any other period of America's history than the Revolution, George Washington would have been just a well-to-do Virginia planter. At any other period than that of the great dispute over slavery and union, Lincoln would have been a successful country lawyer, or if by any chance elected to the presidency, just another one of the presidents.
The same is true of the great men of the Bible. Moses appears when Israel needs a deliverer out of Egypt. Elijah appears when all but seven thousand in Israel have bowed the knee to Baal. Likewise Gideon, he appeared as a deliverer when the whole land was groaning under the hand of the Midianites.
The biographies of great men reveal how, in almost every instance, back of the great man, hidden in the shadow, stood some wise friend who comforted him in trouble and counseled him with precepts of virtue and wisdom. Alexander the Great had his Clitus, his friend in youth, the savior of his life at the battle of Granicus, who fell at Alexander's hand in a drunken quarrel. David was no exception to this rule, for he had a Jonathan whose love to him was wonderful, ''passing the love of women'' (II Sam. 1:26), and who, at a critical hour in his life, renewed his courage and his faith.
How often it has been true that great men have been aided and put forward by others who are little heard of. Grant would never have lasted through his first campaigns had it not been for two men, one his chief of staff, John A. Rawlins, who kept him from intemp ...
