From the obscurity of a log cab
in, further from civilization at that
time than China is today, to the
ton, and too, at time when the
politics of that nation stood in
jeopardy, then to safely guide the
ship OF state through the perils of
a civil war is the achievement of
this man-Lincoln.
What manner of man was he,
what forces were called into play
to create from human clay such an
intellect? Less than two years of
his early life were spent in the
school room, seldom could he at
tend a public meeting where any
one spoke, books were few, news
papers almost unknown; the flood
of light diffused by the many mag
azines of the present day was a
thing unknown. Yet that great in
tellect reached out for light and
never let the faintest ray escape.
The great book of nature-truth
was always before him. How much
of it he learned, how much of it
was builded into his mental make
up is evident to the students of his
life and sayings.
AS we walk through the silent
rooms of the halls of fame regard
ing this man and that, placed there
by the ages, a feeling of awe
comes over us. Yet not among
men do we find a name that trans
cends the name of this man of
humble origin. 1t is not there.
For among this galaxy of noted
ones he is without doubt the great
est. Philosophers who have left
us their best thought, statesmen
who have placed their lives in the
walls of the empires they helped
to build, philanthropists, who have
helped to mitigate the suffering of
humanity all stand below him as
the foot hills stands below great
peak.
For was not his life a living
pnilosophy-sim direct-a book
that was open to all Did he not
,surpass in craftsmanship men who
had spent a lifetime in congress
During the civil war he used the
power of a dictator, acting without
the consent of congress, yet as
soon as they could catch up with
him his action was legaliZed. Tru-
ly y great leader, man with but
one purpose, the preservation Of
the union To fervent appeal from
Horace Greeley to free the slaves
he wrote: "My paramount objec
is to save the Union, and not either
to save or destroy slavery. If
could save the Union with freeing
any slave. | would do it; if | coult
save it by freeing all the slaves
I would do it; and if I could do /
by freeing some and leaving some
/ would also do that"
The third paragraph of the Get
tyburg address gives to him VIII
looks, a real close up of the man
He did not elaborate on the grea
generalship-did not mention tn
opposition as enemy; all Wer
brothers fighting for what eac
thought was right. To him it wa
terrible. yet it appeared to be tn
only way to heal the rupture tha
would destroy the benefits guaran
teed by the constitution. For ha
the Union been destroyed at tha
time who knows but what W
would now be vassels to som
foreign power.

each room has had an opportunity to
observe and study them.
There are still number of child
rem absent due to chicken pox. Child
rem who get chicken pox should re-
main at home until the scales have
fallen, and care should be exercised
that the patient does not get out too
early. Chicken pox is in itself a
rather harmless affection but very
often complications set in that may
become more or less serious.
