Abraham Lincoln.

Next Monday Feb. II, eighty
nine years ago, was born Abra-
ham Lincoln, child of sorrows,
son of destiny in prairie log
cabin in Kentucky, which had
not a window. His boyhood days
were cradled in poverty, igno-
rance and rudeness, yet he emerg-
ed out of this nothingness into a
character so strong and pure, so
commanding and winning with
his lofty patriotism and prevail
ing craftsmanship, so loyalty
that a great nation in the hour
Of need accepted him as their
leader-loved him as its father
and in the hour of his martyr
dom mourned him with sorrow
inconsQlable. And today the
tears and lamentations are still
fresh, No greater man has cross
ed the past century than that
silent, honest, patient loving
emancipation, Abraham Lincoln.
And now readers if we could only
impress upon your minds fully
the object lesson we should draw
from this child of the wilderness,
this farm laborer, this rail-split-
ter. this fatboatman, this survey
or, this lawyer, this orator, this
statesman and patriot. How he
was severely tried during the past
four years Of his life he stood at
the helm and piloted this yonng
nation through her darkest peril,
BY his equal justice, bis even
temper and fertile consel he stood
a heroic figure in the center OF q
heroic epoch. He lived to see his
