A group ' (if Georgia democrats recently wrote Rational Chairman Ciiminiiigs to secure a 100 per cent .IciTcrsoiiiaii democrat fur the; nominee, while we have heard consider alile recently about securing a 100 per cent republican til Chicago. A liy confine the race to sinall-liorc politicians at the outsets A great president lias never been a 100 per cent partisan and never will be. Take Jefferson for example, wasn't it lie who said "we are not, Federalists and anti- Fcilera lists. we are all Americans?" During his seeond term ins insistence upon including everyone in ins program except the monarchists, incensed some of his ultra partisan lieutenants, but gave him great power over the masses of thc people. 'Considering the time in which Ik; lived, Jef ferson wtis the least partisan of men. Our recollection is Colonel Roosevelt left the republi can pari v in 1!)12, and in a letter tit t hat time said : "When a party is untrue to what I lieliovo to he right, I leave that party. Of course the blind purti.an followers condemn inc. hut 1 am ho used to condemnal ion or Ihut aoi-t that it doesn't even intercut me any more. 1 am Interested aiiove all oilier tilings In America and American principles, and one of thoso principles 1 lake to lie the right of tho people to conduct their own affairs and choose their own leaders. When a few politicul Iioksoh say IhiH can't be done, then I say it can. ami whether those bosses belong to one parly or another I am against them." Uoosevelt was never a 100 percent, partisan. To inter pret 100 per cent, republicanism as 100 per cent partisan ship, and hold up Lincoln as the embodiment of such a sen timent is to show a greviotis indifference to the facts. Lincoln was a whig most of his life, and previous to Iho Civil war, when a political hiatus similar to Hie on now existing overtook the country, Lincoln lost interest in politics and longed for a new political alignment. Then the .slavery issue arose, and Lincoln as soon as the country divided upon this great moral issue at once entered the I'm lies of the new luii'l v - - - - i Probably if the next republican president should invite Secretary Xewton Laker to a place in his cabinet it would not be considered an act or 100 per cent republicanism. And yet, that is what Lincoln did, and he also on the eve of the Oivil war, asked a southern democrat to a place in his cabinet, but the southerner, a true 100 per cent demo crat, declined. Making the. acid test of presidential fitness 100 per cent partisanship is to insist on mediocrity, when conditions de niand as never before, a life sized man for the job. Abraham Lincoln the Christian An unusually lurgo audlonco heard tho sermon Sunday evening on 'Abra ham Lincoln tho Christian," by Rev. Sasnott lit tho Methodist church, ltov. Sasiiott said.

"That ho was a true Christian is further seen In the fact that ho was a man of much prayer. It was in his prayer life that ho developed such a strong faith In the providential guid ance of (Iod.

Jcsub Christ Is tho world's groatoRt emancipator. Ilo wiih so he ciiuso the heart of God was In lllm, anil ho looked upon tho world thrcugh the eyes of God.

As wo study their lives wo cannot hut feel that their sense of .liiHtico and their hatred of all that oppresses mankind wero duo to their thinking of human values in tho terms of (!od. "Ahralium Lincoln is no exception to tho aliovo rule. Writers rever enliy and without nay seeming arro gance associate Lincoln with Christ as a wcrld lioucfnctor. Count Tol stoy mi id, 'Ilo was a Christ In minia ture.' "Iir. Henry Sloan Cori'ln said, 'We know what dod Is like by what Christ was.' Ho, wo may also say. Wo know what Christ was'llke by what Lincoln was. N "That Abraham Lliici.ln was an outstanding Christian was evidenced by Iho fact that ho was a man of great faith. Kveu though his spirit ual horizon was clouded by tlio sor row of occasioned by the' death of his hoy he was able to say soon after that event, I now see as never be- foro tho preciousness of tiod's U.vo in Jesus Christ, and how we are brought uear to Hod as our l'ather by Hlin.' "Ills remarkably strong faith Is also manifested In a conversation which tho president had with ex- senator James V. Wilson when he. with several other gentlemen called upon President Lincoln In June. 1SH2, Slavery anil the war situation were freely discussed. ..ir. Lincoln sat (piicity listening to tho members ol the visiting patty. Finally ho arose and declared his faith In the follow ing terms: '.My fHllh A greater than yours. 1 in.t only believe thai provi dence is not unmindful of the struggle in which this nation Is engaged; that if we do not do right Cod will let us go our way to ruin, and that If we do right. He will lead us safely out of Mils wilderness, erown our arms won uciory ana restore our dissever ed Union, as you have expressed year belief; but I also believe lie will com pel us to do right, in order that He may do these thing.-. :r.-t so niuvh because we desire Hum as thic Mi.m a. cord with His plani of dealing with thi:i nation, in the mid-.t of which. Ho menus to establish Justice. 1 think that He moans that we shall do moie than we have vet done in the further ance of His plans, and He will open I he way fir our doing It have iclt Ills hand, upon me iu ureal trials autl "A friends of Lincoln's gives the following incident: " 'I had hcon sponding ttiree weeks at tho White House as the guest of Lincoln. One night It was Just after the battle of Hull Itun I was rest less and could not sleep, Tho hour was past midnight. Indeed, It was coming near to dawn when J heard low tones proceeding from a private room whero tho president slept. ,The dcor was partly open. 1 Instinctively walked in, and tlere.I saw a Bight which I shall never forget. It was the president kneeling before an open Hilde. Tho light In the room was turned low. Ills back was turned towards mo. For a moment 1 was silent us 1 stood looking In amazo ment and wonder. Then he cried out In toncB so pitiful nnd sorrowful: " 'O thou l!od that heard Solomon In the night when ho prayed for wis doni, hear me! I cannot lead this people: 1 cannot guide the a 1.1 a us ot this nation without Thy help. 1 am poor and weak and sinful. O Cod who didst 'hear tiolomou when ho cried for wisdom, hear me and save the mil ton.' " . ".Mr. John (i. Xlcolay. his private secretary, said: '.Mr. Lincoln was a praying man; I know that to be a lait. .Many a llnio I liavo heard .Mr Lincoln iisk ministers to pray tor him.' ' That he was a Christian Is seen too. In his dependence upon the Illble It Is an Interesting fact that tho In ternational Kncyclopedia In giving tile list of hooks which .Mr. Lincoln read again and again, puts tho Illble first On one occasion a gentleman had an engagement with President Lincoln lor five t.'clock in the morning, lie arrived fiiteen minutes early, and when admitted to Hie Whllm House reception room heard a voice cqmlng in low tones trom un adjoining room Tho gentleman asked tho servant, who was talking in that room, to which he received tho reply: It Is the presi dent, sir.' The gentleman thou asked if any one was with tho president. Tho servant replied: 'No sir, he i rending the Illble. He spends every un. ruing ironi four to five iu reading tho Holy Scriptures.' "He mado such copious use of the Hiblo ill his public addresses and cor respondence that a whole volume Hibical quotations have been com piled from his utterances and writ ings. "Hi j greatness, of heart is one if the most prominent characteristics that make us call him a Christian. The tragedies incident to slavery were responsible for seme of tho deep lines of care on his faco, and much of the blood that was wrung from his heart He loved the people of the South as well as the people of tho North, it grieved him greatly that men had to face each other with guns, and the slaughter of Jils fellow-men was a nightmare to him constantly. He was so kind to offending soldiers that he was accused by many of the gen erals of impairing discipline in the army. Of this ho said: " 'Some of our generals complain that I Impair discipline by Iny par dons and respites, but it makes me rested after a hard day's work if 1 can find some good excuso for saving a man's life, and I go to bed happier as 1 think how jr-yous the signing of my name will make liiiu and his family.' "Indeed, his love for his fellow man was such that to hear of another suffering meant suffering for him. "If It bo true and it is true that Cod is best defined ill the terms of life, hero is one life into which wo may look and understand some thing about Gr.-d. And this is the secret and source of the greutness that attaches to the name ot Abra ham Lincoln. "Why your great renown Sire, Uver greater as the years retire?' Is it that you were kind to the mass Of our dark complexloned men, Kmancfpatcd by your pen? "Your greatness, Sire. .Ever greater as the years retire, Cornea through tho llkolincss Or your character and your faco With lllnl, tho Ttedeemer of tho raco." E.
