would remain unchanged In this con-
nectionl Colonel Scovel quotes Richard
Cobden's estimate of the great enamel
pator-that this century has produced
no man like him." And Mr. Golden
added, "It is not strange that Queen
Victoria thoroughly understands and
highly esteems the president of the
United States"
For general view of Lincoln the
following by Senator Shelby NJ. Gull
lom of Illinois is perhaps as compre-
hensive as any:
1t has been my fortune to know Abra-
ham Lincoln in all the walks of life-as a
private citizen, as candidate for con-
gress, as statesman-and I heard a por-
ton Of his great debate with Douglas
which was the most noted discussion of
political questions which ever occurred in
this country outside of the halls of con-
gress. I knew him as president. and
was permitted to know him in the sacred
precincts of his family at home I have
studied the lives of the great men Of the
world, and now, after nearly fifty years
have passed away since his death, I do
not hesitate to give it as my opinion that
he was the peer in all that makes a man
great. useful and noble Of any man Of
any age in the worlds history.
Of the martyr presidents prophetic
quality, the many times he seemed to
feel presentiment that he would lose
his life in the struggle are familiar to
all. There is even story. now little
told, Of vision he had in connection
with a mirror in his room which led
him to feel that he would be assassi-
mated.
Perhaps Robert G. Ogden has given
this element of Lincoln's character its
final statement in the following words,
recently addressed to a Bible class In
New York city:
I shall never forget the president as
saw him in church after the battle of An
tfetam. AS he came out the expression
Of patient sadness on his face came as
near the Christ expression as have ever
seen 1t in human being.
