In 1911 Llncoln's birthday Is even

her share Of honor.
As the years PASS and It becomes in.

man, in proper perspective, he is more
and more the marvel of the century
I'm which. he lived. His rise from the
humblest station to the highest pin.
nacle In the land is still an insplra'
ton to our youth, an inspiration that
Is enhanced by reason OF the fact that
Z he succeeded by virtue OF, and not de.
spite, the lofty ideals he held dearer

believe in this republic that there can
be no problem SO apparently insur.

American people will not evolve a man
for It's deliyerance. Abraham Lincoln's
noble career. more than that OF any
