At the time Mr.. Collier bought 1.-THE

hog wallow. while the cabin in which
Lincoln was born had been taken
north for show purposes and was
housed In a Long Island basement.
This was rescued from the blight Of
commercialism, like the farm, and
sent back from its wanderings to rest
In honor in its own place. The jour-
ney to Kentucky was one Of triumph.

corted to its destination In greater

state of Kentucky. One Of the strik-

gave Abraham Lincoln birth we co0ld
have like revival Of interest In his
spirit, his ideals and his aims! He was
not alone a man for one crisis, but for
all. His fidelity to the public good.
his refusal to permit private consider.
atoms to stand in the way Of duty and
principle. his tender solicitude for the
poor and humble and his placing OF
man above wealth, Of humanity above
things and of popular rights above In
situations. bis faith in the masses. his
devotion to the doctrine Of equality
and OF the rule Of the majority-all Of
these things are needed now and ever
in the republic. What splendid OPP
portunity this centenary presents to
study Lincoln's spirit, the innermost
Of the man that gives him his hold
on the people of his age and all ages!
While associations are making beau
tiful memorials of the material spots
that knew him and are arranging pro-
grams to act as the machinery Of
praise, the form and shell that carry
the substance and life, why should not
the millions of men and women who
love Lincoln devote their leisure to q
study Of his life and utterances and
an attempt to define the genius that
animated them? Then why not crown
all by resolve to give to the affairs
Of the nation the same unselfish devo-
ton, the same high regard for truth,
the same love Of the rights Of man.
the same spirit of righteousness, the
same hatred Of tyranny, fraud and
sham and the same faith in God and
the common people that he gave In
such full measure, even to the ysacri
fee Of life itself?
If this centenary, this dedication Of
the birthplace farm, this worldwide
ceremony in his praise, could beget
a spirit like that it would be Of un
told benefit to the nation and to the
race. Could this people once truly
comprehend Lincoln and follow thu
lines he marked out, they would make
of this such republic as has nevel
been known in the files Of time. W.

Lincoln bodied forth both OF them.
He was the genius of these divine ut
terances made flesh. Herein was his
strength. This 1t was which made
his utterances shine with the light Of
love, tempered his judgment with
mercy and gave him such sweet hu-
mility In welding his unequaled pow

have their origin in the spiritual.
Men are not equal outwardly, but only
In their fundamentals and in the inner
most. God and nature treat all alike.
Here Is the model for human govern
ment, and 1t was on this model that
Abraham Lincoln worked. His code Of
principles consisted in the doctrines Of
the Nazarene crystallized into politics.
We need both them and him. We can
have him only by looking through his
words and acts to the soul beneath.
To find thst and give 1t forth univer-
sally to humanity would be centena-

than all the birthplace farms, all tho
