Abraham Lincoln
It's a big subject to attempt,
with limited space. Mr. Lincoln
needs no enconium, I lis life
from humble birth to trajxie
death, had a pathetic charm dis
similar to that of any other distin
guished man in history. His tran
scendent usefulness, unselfish ser
vice to his country form the bases
of his high and deserved cxalta
tion.
"Our children shall behold his
fame,
The patient, earnest, farseeing
man;
Sagacious, modest, fearing praise,
not blame,
New birth of new soil, Tho First
American."
As Washington was called the
Father of his country, so may we
hail Lincoln as its Savior. Na
ture (lod endowed him with dis
tinctive qualities for the perplex
ing problems in which was in
volved the destiny of his country.
Horn into poverty tho most for
bidding, spending bis childhood
days in eohditions the most ob
scure, he early rose to leadership.
Nc had hardly reached his "teens'
when be gave strong evidence of
his rare natural talents, in his
eleventh year his mother was
stricken with a fatal malady
which was afflicting the people
of the whole Vegiou. She was bur
ied upon a little knoll near their
cabin, which spot she had chosen
for sepiileher. "Abe," having
been taught to write by bis moth
er, tho first letter he over at
tempted was sent to an itenerant
prciudicr whom they had known
in Kentucky, beseeching him to
come to Indiana to hold religious
services over the grave. There be
ing no mail service then, the let

tion. Nine months afterwards
the preacher came and the obse
quies were held in tho presence of
about 200 of trappers, hunters
and settlers whom "Abe" had
summoned. The solemn service
which "Abo" had planned and
procured undoubtedly made as
lasting impression upon the boy
as any other event of his whole
eventful life. He was conscious
of having discharged a sacred
duty. It was the first important
evidence of Ins devotion to duty
nnd from his frequent refcrenco
to the event in after life, it is cv
ident that no other left a more
lasting impression or more effee
tually influenced him. Always
did lie atribute his success to the
influence of; his mother. How
well she grounded in him the
sterling qualities of honesty and
fidelity his life's history demon
strates, lie often said, "I re
member my mother's prayers;
they have followed me all my
life" and '.'I owe all to my
sainted niothbr."
Hvery salient feature of his
life seems to have reflected those
traits of character which his
mother inculcated in him. From
his early boyhood to the day of
his trngic death no man, not
even his bitterest enemy, accused
him of dishonesty. When the
shot of Wilkes Ilooth, which kill
ed the great President, rang out
in .Ford's theater it sent a shock
around the world, for at that
time Mr. Lincoln had become a
highly honored and respected
world character.
In our own country the condi
tion of grief beggars description.
isevcr neloro nor since in this
country has there been such a
feeling of solemnity, helplessness
and despair over loss of an indis
pensable leader. The people of
the southern states were awaken
ed to the fact that they had lost'

their best friend and whilo it
is true there were a few who ex
ulted over the appalling catastro
phe, it is also true that those peo
ple were insignificant in number
and negligible in influence. When
the people had come to realize the
enormity of the crime nnd its np
palling effect upon tho world and
the irreparable loss to his coun
try, the pcoplo of tho South who
had maligned, hated nnd abused
Mr. Lincoln, began sincerely to
deprecate nnd to mourn bis loss.
They admitted his mngniminity,
they realized his honesty, they
they honored bis unselfishness,
they commended his manly firm
ness, they admired bis transcend
ent genius, they wondered ntthc
tactful and just manner in which
he had met and disposed of every
sensitive and vital question; they
were free to ncknowledge his
common sense, nnd were next to
unanimous in tho verdict that his
cowardly nssassination -wns most
unfortunate for the South.
Hundreds of incidents could be
recounted of his wonderful char
acteristics. They would require
a largo volume. I can mention
but few here. Thnt ho wns the
wittiest man in tho world in tho
19th century there is no ques
tion, a protest was mndo to Mr.
Lincoln by n committee of minis
ters against the appointment of
chaplain of a hospital who hap
pened to be u Univcrsalist minis
ter. The President carefully lis
tened to the spokesman and then
asked, "Gentlemen, what's the
matter witli (Ins manT" The
spokesman replied that tho can
didate was unsound in his theo
logical opinions. "Wherein is
he unsound t" said the President.

rejoined tho President rand ho
wns.
There hnd arisen n dispute
among several young men as to
the proportionate lengths of! a
man's body and legs; no decision
could be reached and it was
agreed to submit the question to
Abe Liucnln.Whcn seen "Abo"
was asked how long n man's l$gs
ought to bo. Tho answer was
"I don't know, but I suppdso
they should bo long enough.) to
reach tho ground." A chcrislVcd
officer camo to President Lincoln
to discuss his grievances. Mr.
Lincoln was overwhelmed with
important duties and said to tho
discharged officer that, "I cnrl't
bo bothered with the details 'of
such cases; 1 might as well at
tempt to bail out the Potomac
with a teaspoon.
An old Irish woman had waited
three days for an interview wr.h
tho President. Her son had been
sentenced to bo shot that morn
ing at headquarters near Wash
ington. She told a very plausi
ble and pitiful story. Knowing
there wasn't a minute to ho lost,
a messenger was dispatched post
haste with a card upon which
was hastily written this message:
"If you haven't shot Harney Ha
s:cn, don't. A. Lincoln." To
describe all his attributes there is
but one English word to encom
pass them, and that is " Unique. "
