MAN OF PLAIN PEOPLE
WAS ABRAHAM LINCOLN

You who are aristocrats by
lineage! You who roost in a
genealogical tree! You who
boast the glory of ancestral
escutcheon! You whose royal
ty is borrowed! You of every
name. to you l say, behold this
man! A man of the people! No
king ever knighted him. A man
OF the plain people; no class

man to whom citizenship was an
Entrusted responsibility! A man
to whom country was a divine
heritage. A man who was un-
able to surrender the truth! A
man who was without jealous
les. A man who was larger
than any task. A man to whom
humanity was his brother! Ec-
hold this man. A Mont Blanc.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN-
A MORAL INSPIRATION

We never have had in public
life a man whose sense of duty
was stronger, whose bearing to-
ward those with whom he came
in contact, whether his friends
or his political opponents, was
characterized by a greater
of fairness. We have never had
in public life a man who took
upon himself so accomplishing
ly the woes of the nation and
suffered in his soul from the
weight of them as he did, nor in
all our history a man who had
such a mixture of far sighted
ness, of understanding of the
people, of common sense, of high
ems Of duty, of power of in
exorable logic, and of confidence
in the goodness of God in work
ing out a righteous result as
had this great product of the soil
OF u country. one cannot read
Of Abraham Lincoln without
loving him. One cannot think Of
his struggles, of his life and it's
tragic end, without weeping.
One cannot study his efforts, his
conscience, his heroism, his pa
triotism, and the burdens Of BIT
ter attack and calumny under
which he suffered, and think of
the place he now occupies in the
history of this country, with
out a moral inspiration of the
most stirring and intense char
acter.-President William II.
