"The interest OF this journey eliminates to-
dsv os we stand here for few moments about
,ho tomb O, Lincoln. As I passed through the
son,bcrn sta'os and noticed those great
.sntre. OF busy industry which have been
mill since tho war. as I saw how

s,,nes that kinded aud inspired all that We

Al peri. The life OF Abraham Lincoln teaches
more useful lessons than any other character
IN American history. Washington stands re-
mote from us. We think OF him rs diGnihed
and as reserved, but We think OF Lincoln as
one whose tender touch the children. the Door,
ali classes OF our people, felt as their friend. So
the love OF our people is drawn to him. because
he had such O great heart. such q human heart.
The asperities and hnrdshps OF his carly life
did not dull. but broadened and enli-.
yered his sympathics. That sense OF JUS
,Ics, that love OF human liberiy which domin.
ared all bis life. is another characteristic that
our people will always love- You have here in
