Rev J. w Phelps-Y esterday brought us once north to the birth of Abraham; Lincoln That this day is crowded with associations of grave import to the CYL zens of our republic no one will deny. Not opposing armies merely, but oppos- ing ideas confronted each other on the battle field.
 The victory of our cause has dimmed the jewels in every crown and has vln- dicated the right of the people every where to govern themselves.
 Whenever a crisis has arisen in na- tional affairs there has always been given us the man to meet it.
 It has pleased God in his wise and good providence to give to this republic in the last third Of century a most sovereign man-one whose name constitutes one or the twelve or fourteen really great names that will survive all times and ciVfliza- tions-and that man is Abraham Lin- coin.
 The whole spirit of his life is disclosed during that period of his career when a young man on the Western frontier.
 He was exceedingly fond of outdoor athletic sport. but he never could have his full share in any of the races, con- fiicts or games; because his comrades were constantly choosing him to act in the position of judge. He was consid- cred too just an umpire to act as cham pion.

It was Lincoln who, in a dark and stormy hour wrote these words Let us hold fast the faith that right makes might: and in that faith let us dare to do our duty to the end as we understand it." These are words that will be quoted centuries and centuries hence.

The most novel subject chosen by minister from the many laudable traits of Lincoln's character was based upon the query. Was He a Christian?" This is a subject seldom taken into consideration in the exemplary life of the martyr and in consequence much interest was manifest ed as to what argument the preacher would advance in determining the doubt In addition to the usual service special prayers were said and hymns sung in honor of the occasion.

DEATH RATE IN ARMIES.

The death rate in the United States
army, regulars and volunteers, for the
four months of service, is "a in a
thousand. This is on basis of 240,-
900 men in the field, representing an
annual death rate of 1872. Averag
ing the length of service at three
months, so IS to include the second
enlistments in June, the death rate per
month is 16 per thousand, or an an
nual death rate of PIG per thousand
from disease. Add 500 deaths by
wounds, and the annual death rate,
counting the term of service at three
months, would be so IN a thousand.
or, on the basis of four months ser
vice, 22.5 per thousand, including all
deaths from wounds and disease.
The average annual death rate in
the British army during the peninsu-
lar war was 113 per thousand from
disease and 52 per thousand by
wounds received in action. The
average annual death rate in the Brit
ish army from 1903 TO 1912 was II
per thousand from disease and 9 by
wounds IN action. In July, August
and September, 1854, the British
army in the Crimea lost at the rate
of 293 men per thousand per annum );
in October, November and Decem-
Der the loss was at the annual rate of
511 to every thousand, 443 of which
were by disease. During the first
three months of 1855 the death rate
was so high that if it had continued
the annual death rate would have
been 9l2 out of every thousand and
SO per cent of it from disease. Dur
ing the entire campaign of two and
one half years the annual death rate
was 232 per thousand, of which POP
were from disease and 80 by wounds
received in action.
In the army of the United States
in the first year of the civil war the
annual death rate was So per thou
sand per annum GA per thousand by
disease). On the 3Oth of June, 1868,
there were in the hospitals of the
Union army 135 men in every thou,
sand. In 1861, the mortality among
the home troops Of Great Britain was
81 per thousand and among the
troops abroad 100 per thousand. This
was in time of peace.
In the general reports on vital
statistics published by the govern
ment the annual death rate in Chicago
is given at POP; Havana, 45.7; Lon
don, 21 2; Boston, 23.5; st. Peters
burg, 51.4. These figures are all
from official sources. They show
that in the first four months of war
with unseasoned soldiers in the field,
and with two extremely arduous cam
pai9ns in progress the death rate of
the army Is less than in Chicago or
London or Boston, and not one half
as large as that in st. Petersburg or
