Keats:
He is made one with nature; there is heard
HIS voice in all her music, from the moan
OF thunder to the song of nights sweet BIRD;
He is a presence to be felt and known

In such wise the whose birth we celebrate
has entered into the life of his people and
is in process of penetrating the wider circles of the
whole worlds life, This, on its earthvard side,
is the Immortality Of Abraham Lincoln.
The man had thousand Boswells but no great
one. Some 1900 books or pamphlets have
been issued dealing with the various phases of
the subject . But if the choice must be made
between the books other men have written about
him and LincOln's own words, the letters and adj
dresses hold first place. He can be trusted as the
best witness in his own case His word was as
good as his bond and his life good as his
word. Speech was the water from living well,
under which the stream of character never failed.
Probably the majority of desire to be count
ed the side of truth. But few will make any
great effort to find what is true. And, Sir Thomas
Browne declares, not every man is fiji champion
of truth. For when the man who is right in prin-
cpe fails in the trial by combat, the cause suffers
in his defeat.
Abraham Lincoln not a speculative philos-
opher, an originator of systems of thought But
he was of the greatest opponents and defend
of truth in its applications and illustrations
I'm human experience that the world has ever seen.
His life and words-which are inseparable per
fecty teach the balance between thought and act
principle and practice general truth and partcu-
lar fact.
The same is true of the letters. which are full
Of keen and kindly applications to the life of each
one of us and of the whole people. Even with
Gettysburg and the second inaugural I'm mind we
have found more nearly complete and satisfying
expression of the man in his letters than in his
addresses. In them he confounds the enemies of
the Republic, admonshes, warns, and instructs his
people, and comforts the broken-hearted with a
tenderness that had blossomed upon the graves of
Nancy Hanks and Ann Rutledge and upon those of
his children.
For I'm this and emotion were
Joined like form and color In flower. He re-
joiced In the exercise of his mind but he had none
of that intellectual arrogance that denies all IL
cannot comprehend prove. The charge of athe-
ism is the futile OF all that have been brought
against him. AS an nqulrng boy he read Tom
Paine and wrote essay along radical lines but
the pressure of human need constrained him to
turn to Divinity
Prayer was the very breath OF his later life
Gen. Daniel Sickles was hardly the man to invent
pIous tale. He has repeated to many witnesses
the story of Lincoln's prayer before Gettysburg.

have mastery OF the subject OF
finances, said that tho dual contract
marked the greatest advance in sub
way building in the last twenty five
wears. and had resulted in the greatest
benefit for the city
The reply provoked cheers. which
stopped Mr.. Hubert for a minute. but
when he infcrentially attacked the dual
contract. suggesting that it made nee
cssary the recastine Of the entire tran
SIT policy of the city, Chairman Nc
Ancny arose and walked UP close to
the platform, and suggested thet hc
perhaps was more familiar with tho
dual contract than Mr.. Turner.
Exhausted borrowing CAPACITY
At the time the contract was rramsd
the city had exhausted it's borrowing
capacity. and it was necessary if the
city was to have anv subwavs to hor-
row private capital" he said. "The
people who lent 5000 900. 900 to tho citv
quite naturally expected TO be paid in
tcrest on it. Tho contract provided
that after proper deductions arc made
interest shall be pdid on the private
capital, and shat afterward interest
shall be paid on the city's Investment.
Had there been no war interest
would have been paid on tho borrowed
funds The private lenders were not
able to got interest or theiv own cap
ltal. If W. arc to haVe new subways
they must be made clf-supporting had
we not made the contracts a. We did
We should have had only half as many
subways as we now have The commits
slon's nov plan will not only give the
pest service on tho present subwa%s,
but will build plenty OF new ones"
Then President Hubert charged that
the dual contract was to blame for per
mitting the 1nterhorough to draw down
20 per cent dividends
Mr.. McAneny countcrcd by saying
that tho 90 per cent dividends we're
produced before the dual contract went
into effect, and that if the dual con-
tract had been in effect at the time
such excessive dividends could not
have been paid Mt all
Mr.. Hubert charged that the Tran
sit Commission was dcrelict in failing
to provide changes in the 16Sth Street
station so AS to relieve the congestion
there during rush hours.
Chairman McAneny told him that
former Transit Construction Commits
sioner Delaney. now Dock Commis-
sioner. had asked for bids two years
ago on that particular work, but the
bids we're so excessive that he had
abandoned the idea Of having the con-
sCrUction done.
This was & Knockout for Mr.. Hubert,
who said that Mr. McAneny must be
mistaken but Chief Engineer Turner
assured him that such was the fact
and that as soon rs Mr.. Hubert, some
