contributed a total OF S166, 1910 70
the campaign of the European Relief
Council for the feeding of starving
children in Eastern and Contra
Europe. This announcement IS mad"
by State treasurer, De Soto Fifty
Gerald, and means the official CLOSING
of the campaign in the State. Of the
total amount contributed, $1l5,425
was collected through the State
treasurer and the remainder sent
directly to national headquarters.
Herbert Hoover was chairman Of the
national campaign.
Total contributions in the United
States were slightly over twenty-nine
million dollars. The national quota
was set at S33,000,000 but later re-
auctions in the price of food, clothing
and transportation made it possible
to accomplish the same work with the
smaller amount and the campaign
was brought to a close in order not
to encroach further upon the charity
of the nation. Three and half mil
lion i'll, deserted, underfed and
orphan children were cared for by the
council. The work is still going or
and will continue until harverts IN
Europe remove the necessity of helr
from America.

great assemblage of the wisest and

Statesman. patriot and orator, was
The speaker of the day. He delivered
a long. eloqrent and notable address.
Then President Lincoln arose and
said just 257 words.
Those 25T words were not appre-
ciated at the time. They were drowned

Everett's Grafton is known only to
students. Today Lincolns 257 words

Lincoln's Gettysburg address was

Nevertheless, Lincoln's Gettysburg

there are very few in history. who

be forgiven for saying that George
Washington was a great American,
hut Abraham Lincoln belongs to the

True. but wordyl The same thing
was said better long ago.
There was a great lawyer who de-
spised Lincoln, who had reviled and
insulted him. But Lincoln knew Lis
ability and his patriotism and took
him into his cabinet as his war secre-
tary The man entered tho cabinet,
expecting and intending to run the
government.
Truly had Lincoln said. with a
task before me greater than that
which rested upon Washington" That
task was to prevent the Union from
splitting in twain. to bring back the
seeding states by force of arms. and |
to reunite a divided country half slave
and half free.
How Lincoln accomplished part |
of that task we all know. In 1865 Lee |

Future generations cannot see
Abraham Lincoln In marble. in

being can portray him with chisel nor

If the time. place and occasion OF
this proposed portrait of Lincoln were
left to vote Of the American people,
what would II choose? There certainly
is wealth of suggestive occasions.
Take. for instance. the debates of
1858 between Lincoln and Douglas on
which in reality the fate of the nation
largely hung. Vice President Marshall,
when a boy of four. heard the Free
port debate and was on the platform.
He says:
"While Mr.. Lincoln was talking
sat on the knees of Senator Douglas.
and he never said one word TO me
just held me. When 1t came his turn
TO talk | sat on the knees of. Lincoln.
He asked my name. my age, where !
lived. whether | knew my A. B, C's,
whether ! had a puppy dog or not.
and all sorts of questions Of kind
10 interest little hoy"
At the Charleston debate Douglas
made the mistake of Indirectly accus-
ing Lincoln of disloyalty by referring
to the old story that he had voted /
against appropriations for the soldiers :
in the war with Mexico. Sitting on the I
platform. as chairman Of the Douglas :
committee was Colonel Orlando K. /
Ficklin AS soon as II came his turn
10 speak Mr.. Lincoln grabbed him by /
The shoulders. dragged him TO The
front of the platform and shouted to
HE audience:
Il am not going TO hurt Ficklin. but
am going TO make him tell the truth
% this audience about that ten-year-
Did lie which Judge Douglas has
brought up again. Fickiin was men,
,er of congress when | was he knows
he truth. and he must tell it,
And Ficklin did.
Take the occasions of Lincnln's fare
veil 10 his Springfield neighbors when
le left for Washington TO assume the
presidency.
Take the occasion OF Lincoln's SEQ
md inaugural. when he uttered the
words: "With malice toward none.
With charity for all. with firnness for
