ABE LINCOLN

He was the type and genius of his age,
Reared in the school of bounteous natures lore
The ruler, hero, counselor, and sage,
Whose honor to the mantle which he bore
Grew through the training of the nations heart
Since first it's councils in the forum ruled,
Incarnate in the love that shares it's part,
In public virtue from the cradle schooed
No vain pretensions faltered on his tongue
Beneath subtle implication hid,
But jocund naiveness on his accents hung
Consistent with the actions which he did.
The monument which rises DER his grave,
TO freedoms cause an everlasting shrine
Shall memorlze the sentiment that gave
The law that's written by hand divine.
AS future time uncois her endless chain,
And generations fall beneath the Sod
Immortality his words shall live again
Like sacred echos from the voice of God. Sci.

Horace Fletcher
\ FABLE: In olden times there lived man who
spent his time administering to the afflicted and
IN aiding the unfortunate. And this man had great
wealth, so that he could give all his time to the care
of those he wished to help. When the sun arose in
the East it saw him travelling about among his poor
er and less happy BRETHREN and when it sank in the
West it's last rays descended upon his still toiling
figure. Therefore, the fame of that man spread a.
broad into far countries. that weeping children
prayed to him their sorrow and the hearts of
burdened men and women grew lighter and their
spirits less bitter when bis name was mentioned
And this built great palaces of comfort and
pleasure and caused to be planned and laid out vast
walks adorned with natural ornaments of the most
magnificent kind, that the weary eyes of passers
by might be refreshed when they looked upon his
handiwork. And all his be did for love of his
neighbor and that the sons of men might know and
love the natural pleasures of life
1t happened one day that great many trees in
the country round about where this man dwelt were
destroyed by great floods and high winds, SO that
the people suffered much. And this man caused to
be planted and cultivated a great tract of land so
that in after years the trees would bless the nhab-
tans OF the country. But he also babe his servants
build great houses which should protect the trees
from the destroying winds and waters for he was
wise in the Science and knew that the young trees
would be beaten much by the forces which dwell in
the heavens. This was in the days before man had
sinned much against his and when the sons of
men enjoyed many years of life, that when the
time come for the trees reach maturity this
good man who had lived holy life was yet strong
and active. When the hour came, he bad. his SER
wants take from about the trees the houses which
they hal built and 10, the trees were small and
shrunken and fit only to be cut down and cast away
And the good man marvelled much that this thing
should be- till be bethought himself that the houses
which shut out the rough winds and the rain shut
out also the sunshine and the gentle nourshing air
of heaven.
MORAL: All projections which can be raised
against meeting evil and temptation, also bar out
the great moral benefits which would come if those
same things were squarey faced and conquered
The innocence of ignorance is no innocence: it is
crme.-The Summary.
