Excerpt from Poems and War Letters
Few writers have appealed to as many different kinds of people. Ministers used his poems in their sermons, and the same poems were pasted up in barber shops and hung over office desks. The general agent of a railroad had a pocketful of Leach's newspaper sermonettes at the time he learned of Leach's death, and the night watchman at Avery's factory also had a collection of them. He was not a class man. His genuineness, his self-forgetfulness, his democracy, his faith, his straight-forward thinking, his eagerness to hunt for truth even if the search took him into seldom trod paths, and his incessant desire to help, - these things were influential in winning friends for him among all groups and in all places.
