The pew occupied by Abraham Lincoln
and his family during the years he served
as president is still rcverently preserved
at the New York Avenue Church. 1t Is
located on the middle aisle and well
toward the front of the church, and bears
silver plate inscribed with the name or
Abraham Lincoln and the years OF MS
occupancy. The church has been re-
furnished since Lincoin's time. but TINS
historic pew was left undisturbed and is

readily recognizable from all parts of the

it has q black walnut finish, suggestive
of mourning, whereas all the other pews

her a cup of ambrosia, saying: Drink

The story, Of Cupid and Psyche, as
above recounted. first appears in the
works Of Apuleius, Ii writer of the second
century Of our era, and IS, therefore, o.
much more recent origin than most OF

Milton and Colerjdge, are Few Or the
authors who have paid tribute TO tn!s
romantic story by weaving it into their
works in one form or another.
Not only has Cupid been made the sub
ject Of .nnuinerable masterpieces In mar
Die and bronze in different ages but the
god of love. with his inevitable bow and
