The following story which has been
told of President Lincoln, can probably
be fully appreciated by many leading
politicians now in Kansas 1t was to
the effect that the president was very
much annoyed by the persistence of
certain member of Congress named Jer-
ry Smith, who haunted him continually
wherever he went with applications for
office for his constituents. One day a
delegation of clergymen called upon Mr..
Lincoln to pay their respects, and one
of them asked him if he ever sought
counsel and guidance from the Lord dur
ing that time of great responsibility and
anxiety. Yes replied Mr. Lincoln,
| pray every night before 1 retire. 1
think of the hundreds of thousands
of soldiers camped in the
South, the boys in blue as well as the
boys in gray, and I pray that the one
may be supported in their efforts to pre-
serve the Union and the other shown
the error of their unholly strife think
of the thousands of deserted homes in
the North, of the thousands of weeping
women and fatherless children, and
pray God to give them strength to bear
their bereavements, and the wisdom to
see that their husbands, sons and
fathers have died fighting for the right.
