The Spirit ol Lincoln.
If there be a spirit realm as
many seem to believe, and if the
spirit of departed ones can in
deed fondly watch over those of
us who remain, then truly the
spirit of Abraham Lincoln must
be hovering over the country in
these days when his beloved na
tion is passing through something
of the same rapids that beset i
it when his strong hand was ■
at the helm. Certain it is that
with the commemoration of his
birthday Tuesdaj’ the whole
country was united in thought
upon their martyred President.
Honest Abe. America’s spirit
reaches out in loving reverence
to him and surely in like measure
we may feel that the spirit of his
rugged honesty, his sterling
worth, his unwavering champion
ship of right is making itself
more and more felt upon our
national life. Surely Woodrow
Wilson's recent outline of the
basic fundamentals of the greet
war would meet with the hearty
approval of his illustrious pre
decessor. Is it going too far to
suggest that the mantle of Elijah
may have fallen on Elisha in our
own times?
It is when its loans are collect

protection, but the fundamental
thing is the character of its assets.
