Attorney Howard was called for
ward, and prefaced his remarks by
saying that while he knew before
hand that Mr.. Race would give them
an eloquent talk about Lincoln, he
thought he could make no better
use of his time than to give them
more Lincoln. The element of time
furnished the proper prospective
for Judging all truly great men.
Men and events who filled the pub
lie eye to-day, would seem trivial a
few years hence But Lincoln
loomed up above the military and
civil heroes of his time in manner
that suggested to him towering
peak he saw in the Black Hills. In
the immediate neighborhood all the
mountains seemed more or less
alike, but as one travelled away from
them until the outlying hills were
dimmed by distance, Harvey s Peak
lowered majestically after all the
others had sunk from sight.

Hale, who led the audience in a
series OF national airs and old war
songs, the audience joining in heart
lily, accompanied by Urn Bergen on
the organ. The audience insisted
on a recall for Comrade Hale. who
responded with camp fire solo.
Supt Race was then announced
for speech. Taking the life and
character of Lincoln for his theme,
Mr.. Race made an admirable TWEEN
ty-minute talk about the: patron
saint Of America, as he character
lied him. Sprung from the hum
blest parentage and rudest sur
roundings, by sheer force of hard
work, which constitutes nine-tenths
of the elements which men call
genius-Lincoln loomed up as the
master mind of his time. His edu-
cational advantages had been most
meager. At Il, when the ambitious
young man Of to-day is surrounded
by the atmosphere of a great uni
versity, Lincoln was mastering the
contents of the few great books ac-
cessible to him-the Bible, Bun
