Abraham Lincoln as a Man.
You do not know the quality OF the
black mud bottom of our ponds till you
have seen the white water lily which it
sends up into the light. You do not
know the grandeur of our fiat country till
it lifts its head il some towering oak or
elm. And you cannot guess the hidden
strength of our democracy till you see 1t
rise pure and majestic in the person OF
Abraham Lincoln.
The early settlers of Indiana and 1lli-
nois Stunned the prairie lands and chose
the woods for their homes. They would
not trust the fertility OF soil that did not
bear tall trees. But later settlers found
that the prairies were as rich as the wooded
lands. So the nations OF Europe had no
faitn in democracy. Bat those who knew
our American people best guessed at the
greatness hid in its broad stretches OF
monotonous common place. Abraham Lin
coin appeared, coming from those prairles
OF the West, and the world learned at last
what our democracy means.
There have peen kings and queens
whose position was SO exalted that eti-
ouette forbade them to speak to trades
men whose goods they bought. Such
majesty exists even down to this present
day. But the time came when those same
exalted monarchs found one lower than 8
tradesman, day laborer, in fact, takin g
his place among the rulers of the earth.
Their great ambassadors were accredited
to him. He exchanged courtesiss and en-
tered in to negotiations with them on be-
hall of one of the greatest powers. When
his course was run they awoke at last TO
the fact that he not only had been one
with them, but the greatest OF them ali.
But this is not the best we may say of
him. His high position did not make
him great. He was greater than his posi-
ton. Weak men are made proud by pro-
motion. He was made humble. Cheap
men stop to admire themselves and think
how great they are. He thought OF the
Great new duties laid on him and sought
how he might discharge them faithfully
and well. Ifhe showed the world the great
ness of the common people, it was that
his virtues were the virtues of common
lille. Honesty, faIthfulness and common
sense; kindness, good-h1mor, readiness
to learn; trust in Goa and in his fellow
men. without over-confidence in himself.
these are qualities the common people
know and love. Having these be had the
people with him. They followed him as
| if obeying the voice of their own con.
| science.
| Other nations may tell US of heroes who
were great IN wars of conquest, masters oi
| diplomacy, creators OF new parties and
! policies. We will join with them in hon
oring whatever is truly great in those
heroes OF theirs. We will rejoice in great
ness and goodness wherever it may be
found. But we hold our land to be thrice
| blessed in that its heroe. have been men
| who were great because they carried COM
mon virtues into great affairs and used
| great abilities for the com mon good. Such
| was the glory OF our great commoner, our
| emancipator and martyr, Abraham Lin
coin.
