Description:   Excerpt from The Sigma Chi Quarterly, 1896-1897, Vol. 16: A Journal of College and Fraternity Life and Literature Cemetery in Vienna, carved on the tomb of Joseph II. Of Austria, are these doleful, accusing words Here lies a monarch who with the best of intentions never carried out a single plan. It was the one great dream of Columbus that brought him after many weary days in sight of the land that was new; one magnificent idea that haunted Cyrus Field till continent was linked with continent one foolish thought that made Palissy sacrifice home and comfort and reputation to the discovery of the secret of pottery and enamel; one dream of a madman that turned William Cary from a cobbler's bench in Scotland to the throne of scholarship, reformation and Christian consecration and zeal in darkened India. Lord Macauley writes that one summer day the boy Warren Hastings, then just seven years old, lay on the bank of the rivulet which ows through the old domain of his house to join the Isis. There, as three score and ten years later he told the tale, rose in his mind a scheme, which, through all the turns of his eventful career, was never abandoned. He would recover the estate which belonged to his fathers. He would be Hastings of Daylesford. This purpose formed in infancy and poverty grew stronger as his intel lect expanded and as his fortunes rose. He pursued his plan with that calm but indomitable force of will which was the most striking peou liarity of his character. When under a tropical sun he ruled fifty mil lions of Asiatics his hopes amidst all the cares of wars, finance and legislation still pointed to Daylesford. And when his long public life so singularly checked with good and evil, with glory and obloquy, had at length closed forever, it was to Daylesford that he retired to die. Through the life of Jesus runs like a plaintive, heartbreaking minor chord the declared purpose of his mission. I must needs suffer. The time is not yet come. Now must I go to Jerusalem to suffer. And when with dying breath he said, It is finished, the one thing for which he came in the esh and suffered under the law, tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin, was accomplished. From cradle to grave he lived with the shadow of the Cross upon him. Next to this divine hero the Apostle Paul commands the admiration and love of all men. Singleness of purpose was the secret of his power and glory. This one thing I do. What one thing P I shall forget, he says.
