To a crowd which packed the
arsenal. General pershing and the vice
president spoke the nations tribute to
the man whose birthday anniversary
America honered.
The principles of right and justice
proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln and
for which he died. were the inspiration
of the American armies that fought in
the world war, General Pershing said
"Few men, of whatever origin or
lineage. have ever made more pro-
found impression upon the civilization
of their time than Abraham Lincoln.
the general said. 'The memory of his
devotion to the well-being of his fell
Iowmen and to the welfare of his coun-
try will live as long as men believe in
liberty. Superior in physical and
moral force, though in no sense super
human, but possessing the common
frailties and weaknesses of mankind,
he was merely strong man among
men.
"The ordinary course of his life ran
in much the same channels as that of
numerous other native Americans. So
whether we consider him as an earnest
youth lawyer, a legislator. a strate-
gist, patriot or statesman, 1t is all
so wondrous that we still ask our
selves the source of his wisdom and
power.
"To this belief there is but one an
swer-lsod. and God alone"
