Abraham Lincoln.
OOK backward over all the mighty

u eager, depressing Goth to the west
ward-sweeping ploughmen of America
Mark high above the shining, bright, wild,
endless throng the crowns and mitrcs,
crests and warrior helmets of the great.
What is that figure, uncouth, sober,
plain, marked by neither sword nor crown,
that still rises so high above all the rest?
Whose is that furrowcd face, loving, sor-
rowful, patient?
Abraham Lincoln!
How fades the magniicence Of the Con-
querors before the simplicity of that I'M
calmly form.
How shrink the kings before the steady
honor of that homely facet
How tawdry dull sink pomp and circum-
stance before that common man, humble
in his greatness, taking precedence of the
mighty with unchanged and lowly heart.
Whatever wonders WERE or are to come,
in this our American republic, there never
shall be wonder like that, which came
upon us so quietly, so unconscious of itself.

There is no error in the sentiment that
makes the heart Of all America respond
instantly and always to every and any
mention of his name. He stands for us as
more than leader, more than president,
more than q national martyr, more than q
defender Of democracy as political force.
He-the rail-splitter, the flatboatman, the
backwoodsman-is our apostle of democ-
racy as religion.
Ask men of the Balkans whose minds
only. gropingly perceive the outer world,

Ask men in hidden settlements of South
Americas plains and forests. Ask the
peoples Of Asia. Though in their simple
ity they may build half-myths around him,
in their hearts is great, bright truth when
they. whisper his name as something al
most sacred
With each day that passes, with each
year that crowds his life on earth farther
into the past, he grows more clearly into
the consciousness, not of America alone,
but OF the world. Imperceptibly, steadily.
his figure, which in life was sneered at for
its utter lack of worldly distinction and
polish, is beginning to stand as the figure
of one of earths greatcst-great not with
