ing him. Yet he was able to see the deep underlying principle of them all, namely the preservation of the Union.
 He possessed also the power of hold ing himself closely to the hearts of the common people and steadily guid- ing them in the right way. Not in 8 fussily bossing manner but so simply that they hardly perceived it. Even in the South there began to grow a feeling that Lincoln was not a tyrant, but a friend. Weeks before Lee sur- rendered his soldiers had begun to feel this.
 Lincoln had three of the qualifica- tions of leadership, a great personal integrity, a great common sense and the keenest sense of humor. He pos sessed the gift of terse, meaty speech. He also knew men.
 His moral integrity and political un- selfshness were significant in a time when these two virtues were conspic- uous by their absence in many of the men in office. He desired, not that he might save the country, but that the country might be saved. He had no personal pride or resentment and no self seeking. Often he placated an angry and peevish under-secretary because he felt the country needed him. He IIilt his life and conduct by and studied and always kept at his hand, the Bible.
 Compared With Other Great Men.
 If we compare Lincoln with some of the other great men of the nineteenth century, he does not lose. Napoleon, great indeed, but often cruel, always egotistical and in his domestic life not above reproach. Goethe, gen. jus, whose private life does not bear close scrutiny and Darwin and Spen- cer, great intellectually. Surely l.in1 coin does not suffer by comparison.
 In looking back at the past it is so easy for us to see the course each leader shFIld have taken. So easy to see what should have been done in each yisis. But those making his- tory have perhaps found it more diff ficult to live through. Lincoln's life, is measured by accomplishment would seem to have been a very long one.
 At his death all classes were affect ed. At one eSd of the scale Queen Victoria forgot or laic asrde the for mality Of royalty and wrote as one widow to another And in one locali- ty in the South the simple, humble negroes declared that after Lincoln died the thrushes sang no more for year.
 Like Unto Christ.
 A closing parallel is perhaps evident to us all In the utmost reverses we may perhaps perceive the similarity of Iincoln's life to that of the Son of Man. Christ was born in a stable, Lincoln in a hut. Christ was the son of q carpenter, Lincoln also. Both spokein Simple language and used the story to point their lessons. Each was rounded by bigots and dull ards. Certainly each had an abiding sadness. It seems no accident that Lincoln met his death on Good Fri day and that he bore the Hebrew name Abraham.
