having its long session. for this IS
the time when the accounts of all the

good thing.

LINCOLN FARM II SHRINE.
Progress of Plans for Museum, at
Presidents Birth place.

Great souls are than centuries. Out from
the heritage of time there stand three TO whose
memory. TO a shrine, every true American pays
homage These three Columbus. who alone de-
fed the ridicuIe of all mankind and set out an
unknown sea to find a world; Washington who
built free government that should safeguard the
liberties of men: and Lincoln. who lived that this
government of the people. by the people and for
the people might not perish from the earfh
No future historian will ever have the temertty
to estimate Abraham Lincoln, the savior or our
nation as the least OF this great trio. Like Co
lumbus and Washington, he looms higher ana
greater in the perspective of time. He was the
gentlest of all great souls. We are to-day only
twelve months away from the centennial ot Aora-
ham I4incoln's birth
Recognizing the patriotic significance OF this cen
tenniaI a group of American citizens two years
ago organized and incorporated under the laws OF
