enemy and bowed at the tomb of a
friend. He sought to save bloodshed
in foreign ranks as we'll as home
He loved his home, and the weaker
vessel of it was to him the best The
woman who entered his Office with the
babe in her arms got her request, for
the tender cry of the lamb reached his
heart and not his ear.
'He stands as the statesman among
men. A chief magistrate who saw the
common good. A father that loved his
home as the apple of his eye A
Christian who loved and honored his
Maker though his life stood in jeopardy
for it. A hero, man, neighbor,
citizen, and one that every soul could
love because it had part in his great
heart of thought and soul of power.
He stands like the sheaf of scripture
tall and straight, while the men
of his own country bow and do
him reverence; yet he stretches forth
his hand and says, "Arise my brother,
and see you do it not, for am only
man and you are my fellow worker"
Thus moving, climbing, helping. point
ing, pushing on, and pulling after, he
ascends the ladder of renown, and
stands leader of leaders and man of
men.
IL stood before the gigantic figure of
Lincoln in Chicago and wondered at
the man portrayed. A thousand people
passed during that hour and save here
and there some individual who had gone
that way before, every man, woman and
child paused to review the figure. Some
doft the hat, some sat down and
viewed in silence, others talked Some
painted sketches of the figure before
them. A few old veterans passed by,
they looked, they turned, they wept,
and with soldiers salute they went
away. Thus in that gathered multitude
not finger nor lip, nor eye was
turned a:g inst it, and some whose
skin was of the southern tan, almost
dared to worship.
''Thus the whole world thinks of him
and thus he stands immortalized in
history. and, when American history
shall have been ages old and its pages
multiplied, there is one picture, among
the many, that shall adorn it's leaves,
that will stand out most and will move
the young to duty's path, and that one
will be the Father Of Emancipation.
So he passed away. World honored,
home loved, and personally adored.
That tyeacherous hand that struck him
down but lifted him to martyrs place;
and while ages last Abraham Lincoln
will be known and felt as an inspiring
force of American greatness.
