!, . . =

A great President speaking to raw
aged American people, set forth some
thoughts on how the nation might
best recover from its hurts and go on
to a new and better life for all. Among
other things, he urged:
"Let us forget our differences.
Let US get rid of fear.
Let us resolve to preserve that
freedom that is the essence and mar
row of America.
Let us have no malice in our hearts
Good will among all classes will lift
us out of this morass into which we
are sunk through i'll will and misun-
derstanding.
And with those principles we shall
finish the work we are in-which is
the reconstruction of a new, prosper
Gus and united people.
1t all has a familiar sound, doesn't
it? AS though it might have been part
of fireside chat in 1888? 1t could
have been. However Abraham Lin
coin offered those thoughts IS years
ago, with the nation in the midst OF d
war which threatened to rip it apart.
We are in another war now, this
time against forces quite as dangerous
as musket and cannon, and as when
Lincoln made his stirring appeal Is
years ago, at time when the first
glimmering of victory was appearing,
so we, too, can begin to see smoke OF
conflict lifting.
Lincoln put aside politics, ignored
sectional interests, to plead for human
ity. We need the same kind of public
attitude now.
