world. "Well," he replied, "I have
listened to nearly all the great
American orators of ray tirne. I have
been peraonally acquainted with
most of them and have spoken from
the same platform with many of
them. But without any doubt the
greatest address I ever heard—if it
, is to be judged by its electrie and
overwhelming instantaneous effect—
! was that delivered by Henry W.
; Grady of Georgia in 1886 at the
' annual banquet ot the New England
Society. I had just finished a speech
on 'The Coming American' when Mr,
• Grady arose. After :a few Introduce

Dr. Talmage has told you that the
typical American has got to come.
Let me tell you that he has already.

the man who stands as the lint
typical American, the first Who
comprehended within himself all the
strength and gentleness, all the ma-
jesty and grace of this republic—
Abraham Lincoln.' '' These. words
were quoted almost verbatim from
memory.
The tremendous' impression pro-
duced by Henry Grady's speech was
not due to tho fact that lie was
saying something that no other man.
had said before, but to the fact
that, for the first time siege the
Civil war, the great leaders of:. the
north realized that Lincoln was ap-
preciated and •hollered sie much
south of Meson and Dixon's line as
he was among the Michigan Pine's
and upon the Illinois prairie. .,
• Since that time I have read el --
most every biography written about
the personality of that man who

Therefore I am sure that on this

me the cordial approbation Of the

Well as he did. In thoee few words
we realize the resultii of Lincoln's
patience with those so called friends
who kept publicly criticising their
chief: no once said to Leonard
Swett, "I may - riot have emelt as,
great president as some other Men,
but X believe I have kept the dis-
eorciant elements together as well as
any one could." Like Abraham Lin-,
coin, are we• as Christians ready to
let men critiethe us and find fault
with us if only we can use them for
the entree of Christ, as Lincole Was
able to use Stanton and Seward and
Siutio Canieren and Hooker and Mee

out the hand of reconciliation? On
Feb. 5, ism after the outcome of

practically said to the old Virgin-
