THE SOUL GROWTH OF ABRAHAM
LINCOLN,

The National Tribune has recently
published little booklet by John Nc
Elroy, entitled THE Soul Growth of
Abraham Lincoln" 1t is meeting with
the highest praise from those who have
read it.
Comrade Nathan E. Hartman, Com
mander of the Department of Kansas,
| Topeka, Kan, says: please accept my
hearty and sincere thanks for The Soul
Growth of Abraham Lincoln I have
read 1t over and over again, and indorse
1t most heartily. Your positions are all
correct and beautiful, and congratulate
you on being the author of such work
You will live in history for writing it, II
you had nothing else to your credit
From Col. w. L. Curry, Pension
Agent. Columbus. o.: II have received
your beautiful booklet The Soul Growth
of Abraham Lincoln, and I thank YOU
sincerely for it. 1t is certainly gem
not only in Typography, but in subs lance
as well. / never tire OF reading it."
From c. E. Adams. Past Commander.
Department of Nebraska. G. A. r.: Il
have received and studied your Soul
Growth of Abraham Lincoln, finding it
of great interest. and in my estimation
one of the best summary statements of
that great commoner's life."
From Col. John L. Clem, U. S. Army,
Past Department Commander OF Geor-
gia, c. A r.: MANY thanks for the
beautiful sketch The Soul Growth of
Abraham Lincoln. 1t Is the best article
l ever read. 1t ought to be read by
every man, woman and child in the
country"
From Brevet Brig.-Gen. Ellis Spear,
Washington, D. c.: II find on my desk a
copy of your Soul Growth OF Abraham
Lincoln. and am under great obliga-
tions to you for the favor. TO my mind
II is right and unique. I know that
many people are yet to be found who
are unable to predicate or conceive of
even a spiritual condition or growth in
a man not a churchman, nor technically
religious using the word in the old
ecclesiastic sense. Using the word in It's
primitive and broad sense OF indicating
that the religious man is one bound by
moral obligation to use all his faculties
for the benefit of his fellowman, Lin
coin may be truly said to have beer the
most religious man of his age. ! think
that you also truly assume the great
spirituality of Lincoln, feature In his
character never before discussed so far
as | am aware. Indeed we have been
taught to regard a spiritual frame of
mind as matter remote from practical
affairs and to have a home only in the
breast of one who should seclude him
self from the 'worid'-that is to say, all
practical matters-and concentrate his
thoughts upon the unseen only. and Mr.
Lincoln was one of the most practical of
men. But 1 believe that in every man
the divine and all-pervading soul acts
feebly or greatly, in most feebly, in
some greatly, and in one at great epochs
supremely. The keynote and certain
indication of this inspiration is love of
mankind manifested by devotion to the
service of humanity. Some men attain
to the state by degrees or at some pc
riod in life by what the theologians call
conversion or new BIRTH But here

was a man whose soul, it appears, ex-
ternally untaught, was once and orig
inally born and went out at once and
without reserve to his fellowman. This
was miracle, and another is that this
perfect love was Joined with perfect
courage, and ESQ far as | can see) per-
feet wisdom, which unfolded itself and
met every requirement and condition OF
life as it proceeded. 1 think that Lin
coin was in the class with the old
Prophets, who also were concerned in
the conduct of their Nation. Like them
he saw visions and dreamed dreams, and
apparently he lived near the borders OF
the Spirit-world. In him an old Prophet
lived and worked in modern conditions
but with the same unfailing love, faith
and courage and with patience and wis
dom. And we wonder more and more
as the years go by. / thank you heart
lily for the pamphlet The idea of II
seems to me new in literature relating
to Lincoln, and you have developed it
well. L agree with you"
From David W. Wood, goth Ohio,
Washington, d. c.: Il have read your
booklet on Lincoln 1t should be a part
of every school history. 1t is the most
beautiful pen picture of that great mas
ter mind and master character that il
has been my great pleasure to read.
Having no words worthy to express my
joy in reading and rereading it, only
accept my thanks for the copy, and
remember that l appreciate 1t highly"
From P. II. Coney. Past Commander
Department of Kansas, Topeka, Kan:
II thank you for the copy of The Soul
Growth of Abraham Lincoln. 1 have
read it 1t is equal to the subject, and
the analysis and comparisons are not
overwrought They depict truthfully the
grandeur, nobility and divinity of the
man, who was Godlike and Christiike.
He was less than God, but more than
superior man.
From Ezra ]. Stewart, Elder of the
Shaker Colony, Ashton, Fla: 81 have
read and reread your booklet, entitled
The Soul Growth of Abraham Lincoln,
received a few days since. and can as
sure you that appreciate it very highly.
think it beautifully written and the
diction fine, even wonderful. Our peo-
pie here are reading it. Sister Mary
Daniels, a lifelong writer and an expert
enced reviewer of pamphlets and books,
says: 4 consider it written with more
grace than anything I have read in
years. Do you know, L have thought
that the ego or central spirit of Abra-
ham Lincoln would be re-embodied in
the great personality about to be ush-
cred into the world now at the end of
the age. Certainly the full fruitage of
the teachings of Jesus have not yet been
manifest, and I for one look earnestly
for the appearance of Him who shall
establish the Kingdom of Righteousness
in its fullness, even the Lord, who shall
bear Gods new name"

Personally I own enough land TO
support myself and my family in rea-
sonabie comfort with reasonable hours
of labor for myself and family. If I
am entitled to this standard of living,
if the reformer, by whatever name
called. would guarantee me certain
and sufficient supply OF food. clothing
and shelter, then 1 must be guaranteed
a certain and sufficient amount of land
upon which to produce these things.
II do not feel as tho all the prob
lens of life would be solved for me by
my surrendering my little farm, which
is my means of life, TO the COLLECTIVELY.
On the contrary, L feel that my stand
ard of life is safer in my own keeping
than anywhere else.
Further, I feel as tho, having put
in 20 years of the hardest of labor and

just 20 years of hard labor ahead Of

We are in sympathy with the Wilkes
barre City Council. which is trying to
copyright the name of their town, SO as
to prevent it being used by other places.
The gWilkesbarreans had struggle
with the Post Office authorities to pre-
vent the two names being run together
in accordance with the Post Office De-
partnaeht regulations. 1t had previous
ly been hyphepated They lost out on
this, Ibut we hope that they will sue
ceed an their attempts to secure the
copyright The only political ambition
which the editor of The National TrIb-
une has had has been to be Postmas-
ter-General for brief time, during
which he would make sweeping
changes in the names of the post of
fees. 1t is aggravating, time-wasting
and actually costly in money to have
Mount Vernons, Sprlngflelds, >Parises,
Romes. New Yorks. etc. in every State in
the Union. The principal places bearing
any of these names should be given ex-
elusive right to it. and the others COM
PEELED to. take some more distinctive
designation. What could be more both
ersome. for example, than to have two
Portlands, one on the Atlantic and one
on the Pacific. or to have a thriving
