love of a wonderful woman. When
she faded away in his tender years,
from her deathbed in humble poverty,
she lowered her son with greatness.
There can be no proper observance
of birthday which forgets the
mother. Into his origin as into his
life men long have looked and wonder
ed. In wisdom great. but in humility
greater. in justice strong, but in com
passion stronger, he became leader
of men by being a follower of the
truth. He overcame evil with good.
His presence filled the Nation. He
broke the might of oppression. He
restored a race to it's birthright. His
mortal frame has vanished, but his
spirit increased with the increasing
years, the richest legacy of the great
est century.
Men show by what they worship
what they are. 1t is no accident that
before the great example of American
manhood our people stand with re-
Spect and reverence. And in accord
ance with this sentiment our laws
have provided for a formal recogni-
ton of the birthday Of Abraham Lin
coin. for in him is revealed our ideals,
the hope of our country fulfilled"
Kellogg Sends Letter.
Mrs. Cabot Stevens read the follow
ing letter from Secretary kellogg:
Dear Mrs. Stevens:
Il greatly regret that a conflicting
dinner engagement will not permit
me to accept the kind invitation
which you Courteously extended dur
ing your recent visit to the Depart
ment of State, TO attend the Lincoln
day dinner to be held at the City
Club in Washington for the purpose
of encouraging the observance of law
l would not wish. however. to let the
occasion pass without an expression
OF my entire sympathy with this
worthy purpose and will be glad il
you will make this sympathy known
TO those who may assemble on the
occa sion.
1t is most appropriate that din
ner given in the interest of law OBJ
servance should take place on the
anniversary Of the birth Of that great
American who was so punctilious him
self in his respect for law as TO re
fuse his legal services in defense Of
cases where he discerned willful dis
regard Of law, and whose life was the
sacrifice offered for the preservation
of the integrity of the supreme law
OF this land-the Constitution of the
United States. No other or better in
splratIon for law observance should
be needed by American citizens than
the life of this patriotic and noble
man"
