A STUDY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
THE MAN.

1t has been said of Lincoln that he
grew to a great mental stature and
achieved his masterful grip upon the
intelligence of the world, not alone
because he had extraordinary natural
endowments, but because he had an
insatiable interest in realities, and
never allowed book or a formula to
obscure the sunlight of living fact
A great many people are inclined to
look upon Abraham Lincoln as mar
yelous being, raised up for divine
purpose, and endowed with sublime
attributes which are not bestowed
upon ordinary mortals. Yet If we an
alyze his character we find it made
up of the humblest virtues, the most
ordinary human qualities.
II was his incorruptible manhood,
his answering honesty, his love of
truths, his adherence to what he be-
lieved to be right in the face of all
temptations and difficulties, that, more
than all else, made him the sublime
character he was.
Lincoln never shrank from espous-
ing an unpopular cause when he be-
Iieved it to be right. At the time
when 1t almoGt cost a young lawyer
his bread and butter to defend the
fugitive slave, and when other law
yers had refused. Lincoln would al
ways plead the cause of the un

presented Go to Lincoln" people
