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 that and give it forth univer-
sally to humanity would be a centena-
~ worth while, would be of more help
than all the birthplace farms. all the
formal programs, all the panoply and
trappings and state. Not that we un.
derrate these outward things. They
are necessary, but they are not pre-

they represent. 1t is the mighty, the
majestic and the merciful spirit OF
Lincoln that gives them life. It is that
which we honor and that which we
need. Show it to mankind, body it

and we shall lend a glory to the out

OF our day with the same spirit In
which Lincoln met the crisis Of his
day. Otherwise we are not worthy Of
him; otherwise all our praise becomes
but so much lip service that insults
rather than honors him.
We have our Lincoln farms and

our Lincoln statues and ceremonies.
Now let us have the Lincoln spirit,
and we can build nation that Will be

little Farm That Raised a Man.

At the time Mr.. Collier bought 'the
little farm that raised man. the
historic rock spring from which it
took it's name had degenerated into
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 it's wanderings to rest
In honor in its own place. The jour-
ney to Kentucky was one of triumph.
The little one room log cabin was es-
corted to it's destination in greater
state than most kings and conquerors.
The railroads carried it free; the
Wanamaker store in New York dec
grated the car; the governor of Ken
lucky detailed an officer and four
militiamen to escort the old logs
through with safety; Mayor Weaver
Of Philadelphia received it with hon
Or; Baltimore, through which Lincoln
had to pass in secret to keep from
being assassinated, greeted the cabin
that gave him birth with speeches Of
welcome; at Altoona the school chill
dren decked the car with flowers; at
Pittsburg the Grand Army took it in
charge; at Columbus the mayor and
superintendent of schools made stir
ring addresses; at Indianapolis appro-
pirate exercises were held, and at
Louisville former Vice President
Stevenson spoke for the state of Illi-
nois and Henry Watterson for the

gave Abraham Lincoln birth we could
have a like revival Of interest In his
spirit, his ideals and his aims! He was
not alone man for one crisis, but for
all. His fidelity to the public good,
his refusal to permit private consider
ations 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, his 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 a
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 sacri
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 the
lines he marked out, they would make
of this such a republic as has never
been known in the files of time. We
have never had democracy as vet,
We have never incarnated in a gov.

Rule and the sermon on the mount

state Of Kentucky One of the strik-
ing utterances of Colonel Watterson,
who was introduced as 'the greatest
living student Of the life of Lincoln"
is worthy of reproduction. OF Lin
coin the orator said:
He was inspired Of God, for nowhere
else could he have acquired that wisdom
and virtue. Where did Shakespeare get
his genius, Mozart his music? Who wrote
the lyric of the Scotch peasant? AS God
raised up and inspired them. so did he

the truth of history shall have left no
room to doubt, no drama will be followed
with deeper feeling than that which tells
the story of his life and death. God laid
his hands upon these rough hewn logs,
and they brought forth a nations hero.
Thus the plain Kentucky cabin, the
humblest birthplace of a great soul
since the manager of Nazareth, return
Led to it's home to grace the centennial
of that advent which had come to
earth through its door Both the farm
and the house were turned over by
Mr.. Collier to an association headed
having on it's board of trustees such
representative men and women as
Henry Watterson, Cardinal Gibbons,
William II. Taft, Ida NJ Tarbell, Jen-
kin Lloyd Jones, Charles A. Towne,
Mark Twain and Albert Shaw. The
fund for the work was made com
mon peoples offering, and tens of
thousands of these became members
and gave each his mite to honor the
man who in his origin, words and con-
slant attitude had so signally honored
them.
On the farm the little cabin has been
placed at the exact spot where it be-
fore stood and has been surrounded by

ioln, was given currency by him; like

Ne, he made so many of them" These
IRE known to all, but other remarks
quite as pat are to be found through
out his speeches and letters.
For example, there was the delega-
ton which expressed the hope that the
Lord was on our side, to whom Elm
coin flashed the reply that his greatest
concern was that we should be on the
Lords side.
There is also his world famous retort
to the impertinent questioner who
wanted to know how long mans legs
should be. Long enough to reach the
ground, said Lincoln.
To one Of his generals who complain
ed OF an insurmountable obstacle in
the way OF his advance came the pres
idential advice:
Well, II You can't pillow through the
log, perhaps you can plow around IT.

his tired eyes and the sadness would
be smoothed from his furrowed face.
Many men have left their testimony
Of Lincoln's narrative gift It is well
that we let few of these speak here.
General Lew Wallace, the famous
author of -Hur," said of Lin
coins conversational power:
81 have never heard anything that
approached it. The logic, the wit, the
pertinent anecdote poured out in an
unceasing stream"
Schuyler Colfax, speaker Of the
house and later vice president, one
night visited the president when i'm,

Gods side? We have thought that we

spair, he added, 81 would gladly ex-
change places tonight with any dead
soldier boy on the battlefield"
The next morning Colfax went to
the capitol and asked several repre-
sentatives if they had any news OF
the battle.

seen Lincoln, and he seems to be feel
ing so good and told so many stories

In recounting this story Robert G.
Ogden, lecturer and philanthropist,
said it ILLUSTRATED the wonderful
power Of President Lincoln in the
dark days of the war cloaking his
real feelings in order that the country
might not suffer from depression"
Frank B. Carpenter, who spent six
months in the White House painting
the famous picture Of the reading of
the emancipation proclamation, said
this of the popular view that some of
the Lincoln stories were broad:
Mr.. Lincoln, I am convinced, has been
greatly wronged in this respect. Every
foul mouthed man in the country gave
currency to the slime and filth of his own
imagination by attributing it to the presi-
dent. 1t is but simple justice to his men,
Dry that I should state that during the
entire period of my stay in Washington.
after witnessing his intercourse with
nearly all classes of men, I can
not recollect to have heard him relate a
circumstance to any one Of them that
would have been out of place uttered in
a ladys drawing room
DR.. Stone, Lincoln's family physi-
clan, said the president was ''the
purest hearted man with whom ever
came in contact
William H. Seward pronounced him
"the best man" he had known.
Judge Bates, his attorney general,
said: "Mr. Lincoln comes very near
being a perfect man, according to my
ideal of manhood" OF the presiden-
tial story telling Judge Bates re-
marked: "The character of the presi-
dents mind is such that his thought
habitually takes on this form of illus
tration, by which the point he wishes
to enforce is invariably brought home
with strength and clearness i'm
possible in hours of abstract argu-
ment''
The meekest of modern men was not
the first who taught in parable. The
power of his stories is shown by the
fact that they have passed into the
folklore of the race
The narrative faculty was not the
only one in which Mr.. Lincoln excelled.
