As there are many sayings being
quoted now as coming from Abraham
Lincoln, that great exponent Of Re-
publManism, we commend the follow
ing bliei sentences, coming from that
source. to the prayerful consideration
Of our Pop friends: "Let reverence
Of law be breathed by every mother to
the lisping babe that prattles on her
lap; let it be taught in the schools,
seminaries and colleges; let it be
written in primers, spelling books
and almanacs; let it be preached from
the pulpits and proclaimed in legisla-
tive halls and enforced in courts OF
Justice; in short, let it become the
political religion Of the nation"
