REFLECTION
WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN.
sy uninN n. RAxpts.

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN.
Every year we stand tor a period
or ten days between the BIRTHDAYS
OF two great Americans, both OF
them greatly beloved and respected,
although so widely different-the
father of his country and the saviour
of his country. We might regard
them as the twin peaks of American
history, between whom it is our priv
llege to pass once a year.
Washington's bringing up was
essentially aristocratic-he was born
to command. 1t is all the more,
then, to his credit that he ever ex-
hibited fine, democratic spirit
Graded in the Old Dominion State
not inaply called the mother o,
presidents" sprung from that strong.
self-reliant stock bred on the great
plantations of the South, he stood
forth among his fellows preeminent-
ly fitted for the task to which they
called him. There were giants In
those days, but he easily was the
first among them.
Lincoln's bringing up was essen
TALLY democratic from the start-he
was born to suffer with and for the
common people because sprung di-
rectly from them. Graded In pow
erty, educated in the school of hard
knocks, ever reaching out for that
which will prepare him to render
greater service to his fellows, 1t is
not strange that in their darkest
hour OF need they turned to him for
guidance. There was war in those
days, but he was man OF peace,
accepting the challenge of war only
that he might bring about the more
lasting peace.
1t is difficult for any one who has
any belief at all In God not to be-
lieve In His providence that raised
up such men for the crises through
which they led the men OF their days
While it Is possible to conceive OF
others as giving excellent service at
such times, it is quite impossible to
conceive OF any others rendering
that unique service which each
brought to his country's need. When
we humans want tools for special
work we usually have to make them
nor does it require a great stretch
Of the imagination to think of God
grooming the men who have to face
special tasks.
1t Is because they were thus hon
ored Of God that we do well to
| honor their memory, and ever to
point up to them as the shining ex-
amples of true, American manhood
Not that they hal no faults. for we
all have such. But because in spite
of every defect and drawback never
theless they pushed ever onward TO-
ward the goal set before them, until
in all sincerity they could say, 1t is
finished Long may they serve as
models Of American manhood for
oltiii'-yy oltiii' yy0datt yy0datth that the latter may be,
come inspired with their fine spfff
of patriotism. And while these two
great men served in times of war
may our youth remember that "peac'
hath her victories, no less renowned
than war In which there is room
/ for most patriotic service of all
War has but one prize, for the vic
| tor; peace offers prizes to all wh'
win.
