Abraham Lincoln,
Having taken note of the great at-
tention that was' paid to Abraham
Lincoln's birthday, 'Feb. 12th, by the
American people and the 'holiday that
had been observed on that clay,
could -not help but think how deserv-
ing he wa's of ',this regard, even at
this remote date.. For we have every
reason to believe that he is worthy
of it all. True 'descendants, of the
father of 'the faithful, Minable as a
lender -hearted as a woman, he
could not bearto injure anyone—not
even his enemies. +He was endowed
"with 'intelligence and common sense;
a great statesman who won the ad-
miration of the world; a great and
wonderful 'benefactor of mankind,
ruthlessly murdered by an agsassin—
it was a great shock to his 'friends
and thne cannot efface the feeling of
resentment to such a cowardly act.
Although (Abraham Lincoln was shot
down, he still lives in the hearts of
a thankful people, lives 'to be an ex-
ample to The • rising generations to
press forward without fear to ad-
vance the wonderful things in the
Making of the world better for hu-
manity. Abraham LinEoln was a
true man of God, a true disciple ol
thelGosPel. His religion was the very
essence Of what 'God wants in man.
