reflections than when he was accom-
plishing the great purpose of his life
-the preeervation of the Union. Like
Moses of old, he was able to lead his
people through the dark wanderings
in the wilderness; but, also, like
Moseinthe was not to be allowed to
plant his foot in the premised land.
The Jordan which separated him
from his southern people in the ree
eonstrtictive period was to be a great
river whose waters came from the

to Appomattox and thereafter we
may know what fruit the patience of
Lincoln would have borne, His pur-
pose' *as to :bind up the nation's
bleeding- wounds and make the ."boy
in grey" and the "boy in blue"
laiii) hands as brothers.
Howe then, did he want to reach
i.,
ut the hand of rdconciliation? On
ebb. 5, 1865, after the outcome of
the . war was practically decided, he
drafted a bill by Which, if Congress
consented, $400,000,000 was to be
paid on accountofthe liberation of
the idaves. He presented this pre -
posed hill to his Cabinet, and when
ihey unanimously rejected it the pre-
tiente:as Norman Hapgood tells us,
"sadly: folded it up and laid it
ewsty." As soon as Richmond had
peen eteacuated he got on the cars
and !started south. He went not an
a conqueror, but as a messenger of.
peace. , In ,his plain, simple way he
Iaractically said to the old Virgin-
ns: "1 am your brother. 1 - am
eta' friend. Come, be my brother
d my friend." When that other
friesseiliser of peace, Ulysses S. Grant,
practically said to the officers and
;°raren of the diebanding southern plow your fields, Go arm -
ted,
anes alike: "Go home. Take your
home and be one friends and com-
rades instead of our foes," what was
Lincoln's comreent? "Good! Good!
All right! Exicetly the thing!" Ad-
miral porter gives these as Lincoln's
Words,which he heard him repeat a
dozen Ones.
, To -day, if I had it in my power, X
I
would , start a pilgrimage to the
Springfield tomb. I would have the
eoutheener as well as the northerner,
easternhr and the westerner go there
and learn the lesson of gentle_ and
glorioup love. "What," some cynic
[eries, ',would you haeie the souther-.
e'er go, there as to a shrine?" Yes,
shy brother, I would have the south-
erner go .to Lincoln s tomb end kneel,
the sante as I would have the north-
erner go to the sacred tomb of Lex-
-
ington, Va., and bow reverently be-
fore the dust of honored, gentle -Rob-
ert E. Lee. Both of these men were
conquerors. Both have subdued and
by their example will yet subdue
;real hosts whose numbers, in ' the
dim future, will be counted by the
rieillione, Both have won and will
Mn their greatest victories not by
the sword, but by love. When the
civil war was closiag these two great
leaders were able to say to each
ether, "Thou art my brother." Both
-ere enshrined in their nation's love
and a,dmiration.
Therefore, fellow countryinen, with
the universal affections of the Amari -
Can people, cannot the north coin,
with her peered dust of Springneldi
Ili., and the south come with her
saered dust of Lexington, Vae then,
after the north and south with their
precious burdens have both met at
the national capitol at Washineton
cannot the two different sections
which once etood foie to face ill bat-
tle now stand side by side and bury
-their' two sacred dead -in one grave?'
Then over this one.grs,ve, entombing
the commingling dust of the, two
seemed dead, cannot and will not the
reconciled north and south chewl ono
single God given epitaph, such as
old Kentucky placed upon her mem-
orial shaft, erected upon the once
blood soaked field of Chickamauga to.
her "boys in gray" and to her "boys
in blue:" "-As we are united in life
and they united in death, let one
monument perpetuate their deeds end
ope people, forgetful of all asperi-
ties, forever hold in grateful remem-
brances all the glories of that tcr-
rible conflict which made all, men free
.and retained every star upon the na-
tion's flag,"
Abreharn Lincoln's parting words
to his fellow toWnsmen whim for the
last time he left Springfield, - de-
pot for the national. capital were
these: . "To -day I leave you. I go to
mistime a task more difficult than
that which devolved upon Washing-
ton. Unless tee great God who as-
sisted him shall be with and aid me
I muse fail, but if the same amide -
(eta mind and ,Almighty arm that
directed and protected him shall
mild° and support in() I shall net
fail. I shall succeed, Let us all
pray that the God of our tethers
may not forsake us now. To him 1
coimnend you all. , Permit me to Fmk
that with equal sincerity and faith.
you will invoke his, wisdom and
guidance for me," This was, the key-
note of his whole gentle, loving, pato
lent, forgiving life: Treat in God
and patient dependence upon the di-
vine -will. To Abraham Lincoln's
God I commend yo'u. May that tied
forever guide um all!

The term and conceiption, the per-

perfectionment too vague and too

and there is a connection between
this and the question on forms of
life.

condition.s-the first, that he do
good to his neighbiAr (and there is
only one good -to increase .love
among men -to feed the hungry, visit
the sick, etc.; all this only to in-
creasellove among men); the second,
to augnient the power of love given
to him. One of these conditions is
necessary to the other. Good acts

succeed only when I know with
certainty -and we know it -that
1" love and that men are boming
more t loving. This, among other
things, is a proof that love is as
integral substance. God is the
mime to us all, In discovering hina
within us we discover him in others,
and inversely.
're live on the top of a pillar, to:
withdraw into the desert or to blue
in it cenununity-all this can be pro-
visory, necessary to men, but ae" des
finite forms it is evidebt, error and
unreason.- To live a Mire and holy
life on a pillar or in geontraunity is
impose** because theman is de-
privedof half of life -communion
with the world.
To live always thus one must de-
cisive imeself. It is evident, indeed,
that just as it -is impossible in the
current of an impure river to seper-
ate it little circle of pure water by,
some chemical process, so it is im-
possible to live alone or in it so-
ciety with Some as saints in a. wheats'
world' which lives in violence fele
meney. Ground and cattle must be
bought or rented; relations must be
entered into with the exterior, the
non-Christian world. We cannot lib-
erate ourselves from it, and we
ought not to, except that in general
we ought to abstain from those
things which we need' not do. We
only deceive' ourselves. The whole
work of a diseiple of Christ con-
sists in establishing tilt most Chris-
tian relations ev.ith this world.
. The people who have not attained
the 'perfectly) of a new life are al-
ways uniquely occupied with pre-
parations for life, but the life itself
does not exist for them. They are
only occupied with eating, sleeping,
study, rest, the perpetuation of the
race, education. They lack but one
thing -life, the development of ,life.
Our work is a work of good from
childhood, to increase what is in-
trusted to us -our life -and not to
repeat the customary commonplace
that to develop oreee own life is
egotism. To develop ope's own life
is to serve God. -Count Leo Tolstoi.

The green goose, as styled by the
English, is marketable at about
four months, although they ave
placed upon the market at two
months if large and well fatted.
Young goslings should be given warm
quarters, not allowed to get chilled,
and much the same treatment given
as to ducklings, until strong enough,

While plenty of drinking water
must be provided, and a bath occa-

The liist *aridity
In 1775 James Hay, familiariN
known as "Old Jemmy o' the Hey,"
opened a Sunday School in a neigh-
bor's cottage at Little Lever, is
Lancashire, summoning his scholars
by the rattle of a pestle in an old
brass mortar. -
In such primitive and humble forms
did the great Sunday School idea
assume shape in the remote byways
of England, Ireland and Wales before
Robert Raikes arose to collect these
scattered . links and to begin the
great week of forging the chain
which was to girdle the whole earth.
Under the stimulus and infections! hie
zeal Sundays schools began to spring
up in marvelous fashion: A second
school was opened in Gloucester ett-
a house at the earner of Grey Friar,
and Southgate street, a third in New-
gate street, and in an incredibly shore
time the tewn, which will be) known
forever as the nursery of one of the
most benefieient of all enterprises,
was "punctuated with Sunday,
schools."
