when driven to it by his wife-for he
was always very busy man. Though
Lincoln was homely, ungainly and
slovenly, his handwriting was neat and
small and his manners those of a Lord
Chesterfield.
Lincoln's great success against more
experienced and better known men was
due to his wit. He was never at loss
for witticism or an apt story to IL
lustrate a. point Very often these
stories were esalacious-but nearly every
one liked them. Martin Van Buren,
after leaving the Presidency, journeyed
to Springfield to hear Lincoln tell some
of his spicy stories.
In Springfield a tailor approached
Mr.. Lincoln one day and to decide a
bet asked him, chow long gentleman's
legs should be-" LONG enough to
reach the ground" he replied quickly.
His wit and repartee were spontaneous
and extemporaneous,
In this brief paper 1 desire to refer
to a few matters which now seem to be
settled. In the first place, Abraham
Lincoln was not an illegitimate child
born out of holy wedlock. Only recent
ly has it been possible to refute this
malicious and atrocious calumny. Abe
Lincoln was the fruit of "a lawful union
of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks
and here is the evidence:
IL hereby certify that by uthority of
license issued from the clerks office of
Worthington Co., 1 have solemnized
therites of matrimony between Thomas
Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, September
%, 1906, A. D., agreeable to the rites
and ceremonies of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. Witness my hand.
"Jesse Head, D. M. E. c."
The second charge that Abraham
L ncolL was an agnostic is exploded
Likewise the statement that he was an
irreligious man. He was not a mem.
Der of any church but was firm be.
lever in a Supreme Being, Divine
Power, a Supreme Architect of the
Universe, and shortly before his death
had promised his wife he would Join
the church to which she belonged.
To prove Lincoln's faith in a Su.
preme Being it is only necessary to iii.
rect attention to the following extract
from his Second II augural Address:
~"Both referring to Federals and Con.
federates) read the same Bible and pray
to the same God, and each invokes His
aid against the other. = FondIy
do we hope, fervently do we pray, that
this mighty scourge of war may speed

up by the bondsmen's two hundred and
| fifty years of unrequned toll shall be
sunk, and until every drop of blood
drawn with the lash shall be paid by
another drawn by the sword, as was
said three thousand years ago, so still
it must be said, that the judgments OF
the Lord are true and righteous alto.
gether.' With malice towards none
with charity for all, with irmness in
the right as God gives us to see the
right, let us finish the work we are in
t. bind up the nations wounds, to care
for him who shall have borne the bat
tie, and for his widow and orphans, tt
do all which we may achieve and cher
ish just and lasting peace among our
selves and all nations"
These sentiments dispose of The
charge that Lincoln was an Infidel.
