LINCOLN RELIGION.

AS to whether Lincoln was profess
siona Christian, men may contend with
some satisfaction, perhaps, among them
selves; as to whether he lived in favor
with God, that is matter between him
and his Maker. There is no doubt
among those conversant with the man
and the results OF his life upon this
point. There is New Testament def
milton Of pure religion and undeiled,
and the normal life of Abraham Lin
coin was very closely modelled accord
ing to that definition, II is true that
he was not perfect man. Ia this re-
spect he recembled all members of the
human race. But his public and pri-
vate papers abound with passages Of
which the following, taken from letter
written January 10, 1851, in which he
sent a message TO his dying stepfather,
is fair sample.
Tell him to remember TO call upon our
great and good and merciful Maker,
who will not turn away from him in any
extremity nor forget the dying man who
puts his trust in Him. II it be his lot
To go now, he will soon have a joyous
meeting with many loved ones gone be-
fore, and where the rest OF us, through
the help OF God, hope and long TO be.
II must be evident from this alone, II
nothing similar were in existence. that
Lincoln possessed firm, well grounded
belief in God, and that he made re-
ligion personal matter.
