LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY.

1t is often said that nothing new can
be said of Abraham Lincoln. On the
contrary he is new always. His life pre-
cents new characteristics, suggests new
thoughts as each anniversary of his birth
arrives. He was great not so much be-
cause of his intellectual power as be-
cause of his moral power. He was po-
litically strong because the people trusted
him and believed in his Americanism.
