YEARS BUT ADD LUSTER TO NAME
AND FAME OF MARTYRED
PRESIDENT

Each passing year adds new luster to the
fame of that great American whose place
in history of this land ranks with that of
him who was first in the hearts of his
countrymen. About his illustrious name
new glories shine as time goes on and re-
treating distance brings him more ma
jestically into view, like some towering
mountain peak which can best be seen afar
off, Into the life and character of Abra-
ham Lincoln are being interviewer the i'm
perishable fabrics of spirituality, romance
and imagination. AS he recedes and thus
receding comes more understanding, the
world claims him. The uncouth mystic
sprung from the loins of a primitive people,
nurtured at the breast of poverty, schooled
in the university of the wilderness, be-
comes in hardly more than a single gen.
Grafton figure with a universal appeal,
an inspiration everywhere on earth to
mankind struggling against the odds of
fate. No people has contributed nobler
figure than his to the shadowy annals of
tradition.
The instincts which actuated his career
of devotion to his country lie deep in the
breasts of his fellow citizens. Americans
in honoring him pay tribute to themselves,
for they produced him, reared him, sus-
tained him, and offered him to the service
of humanity. In the hearts of people
from whom so splendid a product can
come must be nobility of character
sacred and immortal. In this lies the hope
of America in the years to come, in this
reflection that, so long as the ideals of
the splendid past are cherished and pre-
served, each generation will breed man
to meet an urgent need.
In keeping alive the fame which burns
at the altar of Lincoln, the men and women
to whom he dedicated his immortal soul
maintain a beacon light to guide their
ialtering footsteps along the way to bett'r
and nobler things.-Ex.

lie in this country.
In long distance communication the next
step came in 1881, with the laying of the
first cable between Dover, England, and
Calais France. In 1883 the first Atlantic
cable was laid, but it lasted only two
months. 1t completely disintegrated, but
showed the way for permanent cables by
proper insulation of wires. 1t was not
until 1856 that the feat of laying two At
lantic cables was accomplished, marking
great new era for inter-continenta COM
munication by swift means.-Seleeted.

Minute Sermon

St. John 6:62. WHAT and if ye
shall see the Son of man ascend UP
evheve he evas before? St. John 8::12
"I am the light of the 4vorld."
m HE affirmation that Jesus was sim
~ ply a great teacher and example is
often heard or read in these days of
spiritual dearth. In these words His
divinity is denied.
The words of Jesus are either ignored
or lightly brushed aside as being be-
yond belief. One fact is sure, Jesus
was and is either the Son of God, equal
with God, as He claimed, or an i'm
poster and mighty falsi6er.
Jesus said, "What and if ye shall see
the Son of Man ascend up where He
was before?" Some of the Apostles lived
to see this on the day of His transfgu-
ration. He said, 81 am the Light of the
World" Multitudes affirm this from
their own experiences. Again we read
His words. 81 and my Father are one"
Thousands went forth to horrible
death singing, because in Christ they
saw the Father.
What think ye of Christ? Is He
worthy your trust and your love or is
He false teacher and poor example?

Then after the treaties were drawn
America again came forward and gave
proof of dignity and good sound military
judgment in summing up the growing state
of disorder which now exists in Europe.
AS Britisher l again say America was
the means of victory so is she the decisive
factor in the peace; for on her shoulders
rests the responsibility to aid England in
what may happen in the future. Then she
may say "We won the Victory and Peace
