ABRAHAM LINCOLN

The people Of the nation on Monday,
Feb. IL. celebrated the one hundred
and eighth anniversary of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth presi-
dent OF the United States. The cele-
bration this year is out Of the ordinary
in that the crisis faced by America to-
day in it's disagreement With the Ger
man government measure up in serious
ness to the crisis faced in the years of
II 5 when the great emancipation held
the reins OF government.
The problems Lincoln faced and solv.
ed so successfully and satisfactorily to
all mankind were probably no more
serious nor more far reaching than the
problems that are today facing the
president Of the United States, the
whole American people and humanity.
Taking stock Of Lincoln's idealism
and of his foresight, realizing fully the
great value to be placed on his simpli-
city and honesty and straightforward.
ness, there is ason today why we
should more closely study his character,
his acts and what they accomplished.
Some Of the temper of Lincoln, some
of his insight and determination are
needed today if the problems of today
are to be properly solved.
Our people today should have in adj
dition to a reverence for Lincoln and
the things he accomplished and taught
q healthy respect for and confidence III

of the American people and of human.
