dignified to admit that he did not
know; No man had keener wit orklnd-

Lincoln that he could tell even rsa-
pleasant truths as charmingly as most
men can tell the things We wish to
hear. He was not solemn. solemntty
Is mask worn by ignorance and n.y.
pocrlsy-it is the prefdre, prologue
and index to the cunning or the stu
bid. Lincoln was candid, and With
candor often deceived the deceltful.
He had intellect without arrogance,
genius without pride, and religion
without bigotry and without deceit.
He was an orator, clear, sincere nat
ural. He did not pretend. He did not,
say what he thought others thought
but what he thought. He appeared to
apologize Tor being kinder than his
fellows He did merciful things as
stealthlly as others commit crimes.
He had the unconscious naturalness OF
natures self. He built upon the rock.
The foundation was secure and broad.
The structure was pyramid, narrow
ing as It rose. Through days and
nights Of sorrow through years Of
grief and pain, with answering pur-
pose, with 'malace toward none, with
charity for ALL with infinite pa
tience, with unclouded vision, he
hoped and toiled. Stone after stone
was laid until at last the Proclamation
found its place. On that the Goddess
stands. He knew that slavery had de-
tenders but no defence, and that they
who attack the right must wound
themselves. 1t is the glory Of Lin
coin that, having almost absolute
power, he never abused 1t except on
the side OF mercy. Wealth could not
purchase, power could not awe this
divine, this loving man. He was the
embodiment of the self.denia, the
courage, the hope and the nobility Of
nation. He raised his hands not 70
strike but in benediction. He loved
to see the pearls of Joy on the cheeks
of a wife whose husband he had res
cued from death, Lincoln was the
greatest figure OF the tiercest civil
war. He is the gentlest memory Of
S. c. MUsGRAYE.
