character was full Of that quality
which the late Edwin Arnold called

tion 0f which was exceedingly difficult
during the troubulous times in which
he hved.
Rev. ]. T. Thomas, who was one Of
the speakers At the Presbyterian
church, and a descendant Of a man
who fought valiantly for the Lost
Cause" said that while Lincoln's ac-
hievements as president and in the
forum were Of the most splendid char
acter. they, were, after all. secondary
OF his greatness of heart. A man of
finer instincts and Of more generous
impulses than Lincoln 1t would be ex-
remely difficult to ind and his mag
nanity made him the friend of the
South. as we'll as OF the North. Rev
Thomas spoke Of the esteem in which
the memory of Lincoln is held by
many of those who were prominent in
the Confederacy during the war and
said that had he lived out the term OF
the presidency to which he was elect
ed many of the mistakes of the re

would have been avoided and a recon
ciliation between the people of the
two sections of the country brought
about earlier than was the case under
the regime of his successors.

While in a reminiscent mood this
morning Capt. B. F. Rockafellow dis
coursed interestingly of Abraham
Lincoln. the centenary of whose
birth is being celebrated today in all
parts of the United Staes as one of
the greatest and best characters in
our national history. Among other
things Capt. Rockafellow said:
in the early part of 1863, Confed-
crate General J. Z. b. Stuart was
raiding with his cavalry around the
flanks and rear of Gen. Geo. B. Nc
Clelland's army. and doing great dam

les precipita.ed. The sequel. however.
proved that hese misgivings were un-
founded for the ceremonies passed
off without special incident.
Public feeling ran high and had
trouble been provoked the streets OF
Washington would have run red with
blood. II was like being over a vol
cano. or u powder magazine. where
a rumble. or a match. would have pro-
duced a oonfiagration. OF all the great
thronge of people in Washington that

one thousand words In length and Its
key note was that the Union must.

declaration OF his intention to save

Lincoln was one OF the mast char

greatsst political and administrative
genius Of the nineteenth century.
To a large extent business was sus-

migh do honor to the memory Of him
who shares with Washington the ad-
miration Of mankind, and. who. like
the first president OF the Republic
was first in war; nrst in peace and
FIRST In the hearts OF his countrymen. I"
The day was observed in the schools
with songs and recitations by the pu-
pills and with patriotic addresses from
invited guests who had been asked to
tell the story OF the rail splitter
who saved the Union and transmitted
to posterity an undivided country.
The public paid the tribute of its
love and affection for the martyred
president" by large gatherings al the
First Presbyterian and Christian
Science churches where praise and
eulogy were lavished upon the mem
ory OF him who made "Old Glory" the
symbol of liberty for a race in bond
