Ill So rts of Opinion,
February Twelfth,

Was Lincoln christian? The ques-
ton Is never to be settled, because both
answers are correct. It is part Of the
surprise and grandeur Of his fate that
he. with his early skepticism and grow
ing cosmic piety. should be looked upon
as the most Christlike spirit Of which
old Thomas Decker wrote:
The best OF men
That e'er wore earth about him was a
sufferer:
A soft. meek, patient, humble, tranquil
spirit
The first true gentleman that ever
breathed.
The word which st. Paul chose to
link eternally with faith and hope, and
to be greater than them both, is diff
cult to translate. II we call it kind
ness. and the close understanding of
the united mind and heart, none could
have more Of 1t than Lincoln. There
are two types Of men who help their
fellows. One studies the world, and
adapts itself. and gets ahead, whether
born in howell, farmhouse, or palace. 1t
is clear-headed. deals with things as
they are, and helps the world with
energy and purpose. There is another
type, less appreciated. less certain to
succeed. because all love and sensitive
ness and suffering. and these noble
qualities carry with them no assurance
Of reward. Lincoln combined the
types. His head was cool as his heart
was warm. His sympathy was broad
as his purpose was inflexible. His ten
derness was equal to his logic. He la
bored to achieve, but he never trod the
weaker under foot; he never hardened
his heart against the worthless. His
debates with Douglas. his reply to
Greeley. are as clear and undisturbed
as noon, but the letter to the widow
who had given five sons to the war
chokes the voice that tries to read 1t
out. He saw with pure white light of
reason, but throbbed with every shade
Of feeling. II IL because Of this double
power heart limitless in charity, a
mind relentless in truth-that he has
become q star to follow, type of that
to which men would intrust them
selves. their hopes, their faith: 30 that.
less than half q Gentry from his death,
resemblance to Lincoln is the highest
praise bestowed upon our public men

Irrelision Here and in England.

"a mere soldier" and Cardinal Glib
bons give practically the same dag
nosis OF the prevailing unrest" to be
found in England and America. The
Catholic cardinal embodies his obser-
walton in a letter to the chairman OF
the discussions committee Of the re-
publican club. New York. which met
on March Is to discuss the question
whether religious faith was declining
in the United States and. If So how IL
would affect the life Of the republic
The cardinal was too Ill to attend. but
wrote to say that to his mind. religion
Is declining and that the lack OF re-
ligions teaching in the public schools
in part accounts for the fact The press
prints his letter. which runs:
Il fear that we are all forced to ad-
NIT that, in a certain sense. there is a
decline of religious faith in this coun
try, for we see evidences of it on all
sides. There is nothing so sacred as
not to be denied by some one. In re-
gard to matters Of religion. we see in
an ever increasing number a great deal
OF indifferentism. What are the causes
OF thiso feel that it is largely due to
the want OF respect for the Sacred
Scriptures. to worldliness. to rational
ism. or the rejection Of the principle
Of authority. to the inordinate love OF
wealth, pleasure, and honors. and
lastly to our system Of education. &C
cording to which the education OF the
school must be Independent OF religion
These, and others too numerous to
mention, are. to my mind. the causes
Of such religious indifferentism in this
country"

An analysis of the vote indicated
that not only was Taft not the choice
OF the republicans, but that IS out OF
the 1914 ballots selected a first choice
of one party and a second choice Of an
other This is really the significant
thing brought out by the ballot. 1t in
dicates that party lines, to a large ex-
tent are broken down, and that if a
man in one party is nominated he
can not hope to receive the vote of the
members of his party if they believe
that he does not represent them as well
as the nominee in the opposite party
represents them.
In other words it means-and this is
not threat. 1t is simply recognition
Of conditions-that il Mr.. Taft Is nomi-
mated for president he will not get the
votes Of the republicans who do not be-
lieve In him.
This is the important thing for the
republican party to recognize when
they make their selection Of a candi-
date for president. There is no use
side stepping the fact. 1t is easy and
nice for republicans to arise and say
that the people have confidence in us
with Mr.. Taft as a leader, but they do
not. And II not then not only Mr.. Taft
will be defeated, but with him the re-
publican party will be defeated so de-
cisively that with ordinary Judgment
the democratic party will remain in
power for years.
1t seems unfortunate that republican
leaders can not recognize the condi-
tons. and avoid the oncoming disaster.
A study Of this vote should help. But
one thing is certain. If disaster comes
1t can not be said that the Record has
not uttered warnings.

The Webster city Herald says:
