usual intellectual ability were among
his principal characteristics.
Then the high school boys and girls
with their respective glee clubs gave
vocal selections that pleased the
crowd greatly, and were followed by
Judge e. A. Walters, whose speech on
Lincoln, the Statesman, was replete
with sound philosophy. Judge Wal
tiers declared that this was a time
when the nation should sound its own
soul and when it should apply to the
present supreme crisis the lessons
learned in the past. No better answer
could be found for the questions now
presented to us than could be CLEANED
from a patient research of the life
of Abraham Lincoln. He dwelt on
the early environment of the martyr
president and described how in spite
of obstacles, the splendid intellect
rose above it's surroundings and car
ried the country boy to the presiden-
tial chair. Judge Walters described
the calmness with which Lincoln pro-
ceeded in the campaigns through
which he passed at a time when abuse
and investive was hurled on both
sides, how alone, untried and dis
trusted he, with confidence in God,
faced the difficulties of the presi-
dency; how his first Inauguration
proved to be the greatest document
of Cancellation ever written" and how
while thus conciliatory, he stood his
ground on the main issue and without
malice or hatred carried the war to q
successful conclusion. "In all his
presidential career, there was not the
slightest evidence that he ever con.
sidered himself. He had the conf
dence of the people and was the per
lsonification of political unselfish
ness.''

xmuch applause, Captain c. l.. Longley
spoke on Lincoln, the Patriot" wind
ing up with an appeal to all to stand
by our present great president in the
momentous crisis now upon US.
Rev. A II. Brand, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church was the
last speaker. He said that unless one
of his auditors had been on a platform
waiting to speak and had heard
school teacher, a lawyer and an ed
itor make the speech he had previous
ly prepared, it would be impossible to
tell heally how he felt. The speaker
said that although Lincoln had never
formally joined any church it had
been abundantly proven by his own
testimony that religion was not only
interviewer in his early life, but con-
tinued to guide it throughout, citing
many instances to prove this. He had
at one time taught a Presbyterian
Sunday school, although he had not
sjoined the church. His wife was
Presbyterian and he was a pew holder
in one of the Presbyterian churches
Of the capital. He had declared that
he loved Jesus Christ and from a
rather unsettled state-of conviction in
early life had come to hold beliefs sim
| liar to the orthodox religion of his
time. Lincoln was the embodiment
of the three cardinal virtues, faith,
hope and charity. More than any
other statesman, his speeches abound
ed in biblical references, always point
ed and accurate.
Mrs. c. A. Mariani read the Gettys-
burg speech with rare effectiveness
and the crowd dispersed with the sing
ing of America.
