LINCOLN.

The one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln occurs to-
morrow and the day will be observed
throughout the United States in man
ner beftting so important an event
The Governor of Maryland, at the re-
quest of prominent citizens has pro-
claimed the day legal holiday and in
the city of Baltimore and throughout
the State public meetings will be held
to do honor to his memory. The G A
R. has also prepared special order of
exercises. As the years go by the man
and his great services to the nation are
more and more appreciated. Born
amid humble surroundings Lincoln early
took an interest in public affairs and by
hard work overcame his lack of early
educational advantages. In the stirring
times before the war his great power
was fully demonstrated in his debates
with Douglass, the polished orator He
was the great advocate of the common
people and when he was nominated and
elected to the Presidency with the
cloud of the Civil War lowering over
the country, no man was more anxious
for peace. But the issues could only
be settled by the arbitrament of war
and in the great conflict for the preser-
walton of the Union, Lincoln addressed
himself with resolute but sad heart.
There was no malice in his heart, moth
ing save an unutterable sorrow that
brother should be arrayed against
brother. He never forgot that we are
one people-North and Southland that
the obligation of his office and the future
glory Of the Republic lay in the preser-
walton of the Union states. Just as
success came he suffered death at the
hands of an assassin. Strange we do
not prize the music till the sweet voic-
ed bird has flown, strange that summer
skies and sunshine never seem one-half
so fair as when winters snowy pinions
shake the white down through the air. "
At his death the country awoke to it's
great loss, to a realization of the great
heart and character of the man and to
his inestimable service to the nation.
His name in these few short years is
written large in the hall of fame and
North and South bear testimony to the
noble qualities Of the man. In all the

THE WHAT IS LACKING.

Hundreds of men and women in
every community are staying away
from church services aud there
are hundreds of others who are
regular attendants who come away
unsatished. We know the stock
argument that many stay away
from the churches because there
are so many inconsistent church
members, but this argument is
weak at best. The church is not
composed of saints, but of sinners,
and the more one realizes his need
of God and his own frailty, the
more valuable does the work of
the church become to him. 1t is
the business of the church to Arouse
men to their need and then to
minister to that need intelligently
1t is a grand theory to honor God
by attending public worship, but
it is a grander thing for the church
to deal with the individual need
as we'll as with men enmasse
The music, the prayer, the ser
mon, are all helpful and uplifting,
but what about the man with a
heavy load, or carrying within his
bosom some secret sin, or graphing
with a mighty temptation? The
church services are orderly and
beautiful, but should not the i'm
preston made at a particular ser
vice, or the kindling of a desire
for help or guidance be followed
up and clinched? We see much
much practical wisdom in the
methods of DR.. Worcester, OF Bos-
ton, and The so-Called Emmanuel
Movement, " although we do not
care to adopt this plan in toto,
He supplies what is lacking in
many churches by following the
services with an invitation for all
who need help or advice to meet
him in room provided and tell
him about it. Some are sick in
body as well as soul and to those
Christian physician of broad
sympathy as well as medical skill
co-operates with the minister.
This practical aid is bringing
thousands to that church and won
derful are the results. The Boston
minister's methods may not be
feasible for country churches but
he is supplying good neeG in
getting next to the individual and
reaping at each service the fruit of
his sowing.
