That evening the senior and I attend

with me about the events of the day

Accordingly I did SO, and passing

Abraham Lincoln's Religion.

A letter WHICH TeceullE dppSdl Cu IL
the columns Of the New York sur
from prominent hereto, affirming
that Abraham Lincoln was disbe-
lever III the doctrines of Christianity
and that III his early days he wrote an
essay on seeking to disprove them, has
brought ont in reply many statements
which establish the contrary view.
Among them is one from General Col
lis, contending that Mr.. Lincoln was a
sincere and consistent Christian, and
Mr. Dana himself editorially endorses
the argument made by General Coils.
Whatever Mr.. Lincoln may have said
or written about religion in his youth is
of little account compared with wat
he wrote and uttered in his later life on
the same subject. His juvenile atti-
tude towards the christian faith rests
alone upon the testimony OF Mr.. Hern-
don, who, to say the least, is very SEN
sational, imaginative and impulsive,
and therefore not altogether reliable
witness. The records are too full of
positive expressions by Mr.. Lincoln,
showing his great reverence forreligion
and his transformations, natural sense OF
piety, to leave any doubt about his &C
ceptance Of the fundamental doctrines
of christianity, though he was never
in any sense a theologian. When he
left Springfield for Washington he said
to his neighbors that he felt he could
not succeed without the same divine
blessing which sustained Washington.
In his own words: II hope you, my
friends, will all pray that | may receive
that divine assistance, without which l
cannot succeed, but with which sue
cess is certain" These are not the
words of an unbeliever. Gen. Sickles
testifies that after the battle of Gettys-
burg he had an audience with Mr.. Lin
coin and that the latter explained he
had felt no anxiety about the issue OF
the battle because in the privacy of his
apartment he had prayed to God for
success; "and Isthen and there made a
solemn vow to God that if he would
stand by our boys at Gettysburg |
would stand by him. And he did, and
[ will" Again, these are not the
words of an unbeliever. A year before
his death he wrote to his friend Speed :
+" am proftably engaged reading the
bible. Take all of this book upon rea-
son that you can and the balance on
faith and you will live and die a better
man." Illustrations of this kind might
easily be multiplied. His speeches and
his writings abound with similar refer
ences. They show not only that he
believed in the fundamental doctrines
of christianity, but that he had a sim
pie. natural, trustful, transformations,
and undogmatical form of religion. 1t
would make this world better if more
people were the same type of christian
