'Tee -At the time when the whole nation is hon- oring the memory of lencoin thia an- niversary (sermon sheds a new ane interesting light upon the &erecter of the statearnan-Presidents The text is James v., 8, "I3e ye also Pa- tient." "What was the most powerful ad- dress you ever heard?" I once asked my father in one of our conversa- tions when journeying • amend the 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 — tory remarks he said; 'My friends, Dr. Talmage has told you that the typical American has got to come. Let me tell you that he has already. come. Great types, like *valuable plants, are slow to flower and fruit, But front the union of these colon- ists, Puritans and Cavaliers, from the strengthening of their purposes and the crossing of their bleed, slow perfecting, through a century, cape) 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 stands second to only one, if be , does not stand side h:v side with George Washington, hi the nileeteins• of the American people. I find thee , Plenz•y Watterson of Kentucky has de deep, a reverence for Lincoln. as had Charles W. Dana or Nicolay or Jo- seph Medill or WilliamHerndon' or David Davis or Swett or Speed, who knee' h ini by personal 'contact: Therefore I am sure that on this Sunciey preceding the celebration of Lincoln's birthday I alien leave with me the cordial approbation Of the south as well as of the north as .I draw from his character lemma of inspiration and pay tribute to. his Memory. At heart he was a• true friend of the south, and I believe t hat his unthnely death retarded the consummation of recoristructioh least a quarter of a century.: Most Lincoln eulogists • !start, es Henry Watterson beautifully expreeer ed it, by looking into a• "erystiel globe that, slowly- turning, tens the story of his life, and they therein a little heartbroken boy weeping by the outstretched them of: a dead mother." But this I do not intend to do. Yoe are already fa- miliar with the facts of thee (-Vent • fie life. In speaking of hini to -day would try to get the keynote of his character and show the predominant quality which made him • (to great and so useful to the nation. That quality I conceive to be hisi pa - Vence; and X shall recall to your minds the times and the circum - (dances in which, by the exercise ' of that quality, he proved the grandeur ' !of his nature; Standing by the , grave of this great man, we -see the figure of sanctified Patience. We fied this figure not cut from stone or cast. in iron, _but made out of -elest : which was (ince living, breathing. • ;throbbing, moving ficteh and blood, 'As the paramount detire of Lie- ; !coin's last four years ori earth arid 'those tumultuous years which led lip I to them Was tO eatte :the Union. ' e shalt try in this ,briefeetilegy to erliow I how, by glorious patience, that ;great purpose of his life Was accom- plished. 7n the first place; we must stArt • • !with the Well Accepted and Unevees- ;ally acknowledged fact that Aiwa - !ham Lincoln was a man of positive characteristics. William Herndon just. after Lincoln's nomination Wrote to Sena tor Wilson of Massachusetts that when Lincoln made tip his mind to do anything he had "a will of Iron." After the assassination in Ford's theatre Senator Wilson wrote a letter to Llecoltes old laiv pert - nor that he had truly analyzed Lie - coin's charaeter in 'reference to this one characteristic. But, though Lin- coln was a positive man and. had well Settled convietions, he haver be- lieved that "two wrongs make ono right." tit order to accornplish his patriotic Purposed he Wele unWilliner - to defile the majesty of the law, Ito Was always ready to try to chancre thr law, but never to break it. In his -methods and prinelples he Was neither violent nor revoltitionaree If was not, as many people supposed In 1880, a wild eyed visionary oa a crazed enthusiast who would, ter • erach a beneficent end, trample on vested rights and interests regard- less of juitice and equity. He him - Self was obedient to the lawsft8welt as a faithful ificectitive of the law. letr Was a reeptteter of the law in private lite as Well as a consortia,» tiers lawmaker in public life.

What said he in hie fa. mous speech delivered on July .17. MO, la answer to one of the _ charges made against him by Doug- las? "Now, as to the Deed Scott • decisive, for upon that Senator • Douglari Makes his last point against Me, 1 affi opposed to that decerion in a certain sense, but not in the Sense in which he puts it, , I say • that in so far as it decided in favor Qf Deed Scott's master and against »red Scott and his family I do not propose to disturb or resist the don cision. 1 never have proposed to do any such thing. I think that in re- spect for judicial authority my humble history would not suffer in comparison with that of Judge Douglas." When some enthusiastic •edinirere asked him thisi question "Has the territory of Kansair a • right to come Into the Union a slave State if the people wish?" Lincoln said: "Yes. By the national law It has a right which you cannot take away unleris by national legislation • you change that law." On the approaching anniversary of • this great American's birth let us learn one of the greatest lessons of his life.

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 Clellati and Thaddeus Stevens artd Greeley and Bennett to help SaVe the Union?

How, then, did he want to reach out the hand of reconciliation? On Feb. 5, ism after the outcome of the war was practically decided, he drafted 0, bill by which, if Congress coneented, 2400,000,000 was to be paid on amount of„the liberation of the slaves. He preseetect this pro - Posed bill to his Cabinet, and when • they unanimously reJected it the pre- sident„ as Norman.Hapgood tolls us, "sadly folded it tilt and laid it away." As aeon as Richmond had been evacuated he got on the cars • and started eouth. He Wept not as a conqueror, but as a messenger of peace, In his plain, simple way he practically said to the old Virgin- ians; 'X am your hi:lather. I am your friend. Come, be my brother _and my friend." When that other ineseenger of peace, 'Means 5, Grant, practically said to the efilcers and . men of the diShanding southern arm- ies alike; "Go home. Take your horses and plow your ," fields. Go home and be our friends and corn - Tildes inetead of our foes," 'what Was Lincoln's comment? "Good! Good! All right! Exactly the thing!" Ad- miral Porter gives those as Lincoln's words, Which he heard hint repeat fs • dozen times. • To -day, if I had it in my power, I would stoat a pilgrimage to the Springfield tomb. 1 would ha,ve the • southerner as well as the northerner, easterner and the westerner go there and learn the lesson of geutle and • glorious love. "What," some cynic cries, "would you have 'ehe souther- ner go there as to a shrine?" Yes: ray brother, I would.heve the south- erner go to Lincoln's tomb and kneel, the same as I would have the north- • erner go to the sacred tomb of Lex- itigton, Va., and bow reverently be- fore the dust of honored, gentle Rob- ert E, Lee.
