LINCOLN is LOVED.

lie was one of the few tender and toll
Grant spirits who ever climbed the
twisting ladder that leads to political
emminence. No rancor marred his
soul no revenge, no pride. He met
public fury and it passed him by.
Against our imperialistic and tricky
war on Mexico he refused to follow
patriotism The youngest member
of the Illinois legislature, he was one
of only two in that whole body that
dared to go on record against public
prejudice on the most sensitive issue
of the day. When the civil war was
won he stood like rock against pun
lshing the south. His party in con-
gress and in the newspapers was
breathing the usual virtuous ferocity
of conquerors. With matchless no.
bility he took his stand on recon
struction, and it will do any American
good to read his reasons for holding
out the hand of fellowship to Louis
lana. The redblooded ones were pro
testing against such feebleness. What
mollycoddle Lincoln was, with his
malice toward none and his charity
for all! How serene and noble he
looms, now that the angry dust of
those days has cleared away

THE BINDING TIES.

We can well understand that some
serious differences of view arise be-
tween the nations that destroyed the
military strength of the central pow
ers when the peace conference gets
under way.
1t is now generally understood that
President Wilson goes to Paris with
strong convictions of how the war
should be ended and future wars pre-
vented, and that these convictions
conflict with the even stronger con-
victions of the British and French
governments. Beyond doubt Italy
will stand with London and Paris.
But while these statesmen flare up,
the men who will actually form senti-
ment regarding the war, in Europe
and in the United States will be maxi
ing international friendships which
politicians will not he able easily to
sever.
The ties that bind the allies and the

that Christmas is a commemoration
or the spirit and that the gifts which
would be mosl acceptable to the little
| enid that came to redeem the world
II heart pure and undefiled a con-
science rich in knowledge of doing
good
why should we encourage our chill
dren to worship a false God and a
German made God at that? 1t is lust
as incongruous as it is for a Jew to
celebrate Christmas, and yet the Jew
does celebrate it. Does he ever stop
to question the reason why? No; he
IS Just carried on by the mighty tide.
What does he know, or what does he
care about the Christ-child? To him
Jesus Died nineteen hundred years
ago; to us, although Jesus died, the
Christ-sprit lives today as it has al
ways lived and as it will continue to
live through all eternity.
