Even Stanton. that saturnine Titan
of the cabinet, who was in the habit of
referring to Lincoln as the Original
gorilla" who openly prophesied that
jeff Davis would be in the White
House within six months, who believed
himself called into the cabinet for the
express purpose Of holding up the
hands of an impotent president-even
Stanton learned his lesson. 1t took
him long time, but he learned it well.
When Lincoln drew his last breath
Stanton said: There lies the most
perfect ruler of Men the world has
ever seen"
But it was not until the homely face
and ungainly figure of Lincoln were
gone from the sight. and his pointed
Jest was no longer heard, that the
American people began to see Lincoln
as he was, not as we had assumed him
to be. And year by year we are COM
ing to know him better,
We know now, among other things,
that this self-made man from the log
cabin was truly an educated man; that
this backwoods circuit rider was not
only an honest lawyer but a great law
yer; that this past master of the art OF
storytelling used his art with a pur'
pose; that this crossroads debater and
political stump speaker was an orator
to whom it was given to speak words
that are immortal-words that are as
much a part of the national heritage
as the Declaration of Independence ant
| the Constitution.
We know now--not some of us, but
| all of us-that this man who saved the
union by force of arms and brought
| peace out of the hell of civil war die
these great things in an even greate
spirit; that he wrought with malice
toward none, with charity for all"
And we know now that this man
who was so human that he did no
seem to be great, was yet lonely soul
set apart for great work and awar
of his mission. The time may com
when we shall forget in part his in
finite jest" but never the infinite SAD
ness of his deep-lined face.
Providence raised up Abraham Liz
coin. And we are just beginning 7

~ passed away. lhO SiNi wa
has been over a long time This
is a new century of other man
ners and new activities. Yet there is
nothing remote about the name and
fame of Lincoln. He Is close to us,
and growing closer. Here, as every
where the observation Of the day In
creases year by year.
The explanation of this extraor-
binary fact is at once simple and salts
factory 1t is that the American peo-
pie never appreciated Lincoln while he
was alive. When he was taken away
from us we began to see him as he
was. We are now beginning to appre-
ciate him.
Many loved Lincoln devotedly while
he was alive Others saw that he was
a thoroughly good man. But in general
even those who loved him and those
who trusted him utterly failed to
realize that he was as great as he was
good.
The failure of Lincoln to win the ap-
probation of those who had every
chance TO Judge him seems incredible
to us now. Nevertheless, one may haz-
ard guess as to the belittling power
of intimacy in his case.
Never in the history of the world
was there a great man so entirely and
consistently his natural self. He was
homely and ungainly and poorly
dressed--and he knew 1t, and Joked
about it. He was entirely self-made-
and he was not proud of the job. He
was ambitious-and frankly admitted
it. He was so modest so honest, and
so easy" that not few thought he
must be simple minded.
Traits like these are not evidences
of genius in the mind of the common
people, who prefer that their idols
shall pose. Stephen A. Douglas, Lin
coins lifelong and successful rival un
| til the final test came, posed effective
ly; therefore they knew he was great
and dubbed him the Little Giant
| Lincoln never posed, therefore 1t never
| occurred to them that he could be
great.
| To be sure, there were some who
came to appreciate Lincoln before Ills
| death. There were comparative few
| who learned by experience that he wa!
easy" only when it didn't matter, anC
that, instead of being supplemented
he was literally and absolutely a mas
ter of men.
Douglas, TO whom he put the ques
ton at Freeport that saved the United
States. came to know him as his mas
ter-and held his hat for him while h
took the oath of Office as president
Fremont the soldier statesman.
whom he made-and unmade-learne
the same lesson. So did Mcclellan, tn

who went into the cabinet prepare
and expecting to take the reins of gov
eminent. So did Chase, the 'indisper
