temperament Of any man in his.
tory. lie considered the arguments of
his opponents with all the fairness Of
John Stuart Mill and preserved :hat
calm judicial consideration of the
views Of every one that becs.mc i'm
portant. and in his disagreement with
them he left nothing more than the
application Of an apt story or clear
Euclid-like demonstration OF error with
out sting. With his love Of truth. the
supreme trait Of his intellect. accom-
panied by a conscience that insisted
on the right rs he knew II. with 4
great heart full of tenderness. We have
the combination that made Lincoln one
of the two greatest Americans.
The south knows us the north knows
now TINT there is no soul that unites
them in perfect amity like that of
Abraham Lincoln. The south knows
as the north knows that every admin
istration that removes another cause
Of misunderstanding between the sec
tions or that brings them closer TO-
gether In any way is acting under the
inspiration Of him who could love his
entire country with undiminished ar
dor when nearly one-haif was seeking

dirt floor of our slave cabin. by the
prayers of my mother. Just before leav-

kneeling over me. earnestly praying
that Abraham Lincoln might succeed
and that one day she and her boy
might be free. AS an Individual.
grateful as l am to Lincoln for free

greater for freedom of soul. the liber-
ty which permits one to live up in that
atmosphere where he refuses to permit
sectional or racial hatred to drag down.

Lincoln lives today because he had the
courage which made him refuse to
