Man." at the Grace church. He said:
In Lincoln were certain latent pow
erS which he impressed and exercised.
He had genius for hard work and
was willing to pay the price Of human
excellence He spoke great truths and
did good deeds. but his best service to
posterity Is his example of a selfmade
man. 1t was always the man he saw.

for and protected.
There never was greater need
than now for men who will adopt the
Lincoln ideal Then man will be
placed above the dollar.
LncoIn's Principles.
Lincoln was a man of unfailing
moral integrity. Not penny would
he keep that was not his own. He
would not take a case unless he be-
lieved his client was in the right. In
his political campaigns he would not
resort to schemes that were made in
the dark. For more than forty years
the searchlight of investigation has
played upon his life and he is revealed
a man who stood four square upright
without reproach.
"His browning act in giving freedom
to one race and liberty to another put
q new song into the mouths of men,
and they have been singing the sweet
est, most soul-stirring song OF the
ages

work. the emancipation of the slaves.
The Rev. Mr.. Hartman said that Lin
coin was distinctively religious char
acter. He was a profound student OF
the Bible" he said. His addresses to
the jury. his state papers and inaugu-
raj addresses were viewed from the
angle of the brotherhood of man and
the doctrine OF God. BY prayer. he
worked. lived and died. His faith in
the infinite power Of God was fine and
of the highest type. He had mastered
to a very high degree the art of right
living, and is still the best loved Amer
