DR.. Hill Writes About Lin
coins Religious Faith

VI The one impression left by Dr. Hll's
book, Abraham Lincoln: Man Of
Cod" is that the greatest Of Americans
was Abraham Lincoln. This was due
to the fact that, from his youth, at
every time he was doubtful as to the
way his duty lay, he sought for guild
ance and help from his heavenly Father
In showing this profound belief in God.

an introduction to the work, ''thc au-
thor of this volume has rendered a scrv.
ice as opportunely patriotic as it is last

In foreword, "a heroic and earnest
figure as one humbly seeking the in
spiration, counsel and help of the Al
mighty. AS ouc reads one feels
that Lincoln was, indeed, a Man Of
God.
Though not biography. the book is
full Of information in regard to his
life from the earliest days in the Ken.
tuck shack TO the White House. This
is derived from careful study Of the
most reliable sources, and there are
many quotations from the numerous
works about Lincoln. While to show
the religious element in his character
is Mr.. Hills main object. yet he does
not lose sight Of his humorous side and
love OF story telling.
The conviction, that many have had
that Lincoln was an irreligious man
because for the greater part Of his life
| he was not n church member, il shown
to be absolutely without foundation by
| the numerous testimonies to his pro
| foundly religious character given by
those who knew him from his early
manhood to his death.
The book closes with thoughtfu
statement of his Christian view of labor
