Of these is Lincoln. He was a plain man, and the plain — & 'man takes him to-his bosom, studies the story of his life as a guide to conduct, and thanks Providence that among the earth’s millions of mercenary. men, and occasional sublime idealist should be. 1 . ity We look on Lincoln with a little awe, and yet with friend- liness. Not many of us could have hewn to the line as he did;| few could have accepted honor and admiration with so little affectation. ’ ; His doctrine of liberty set the torch alight in many hearts and gave new hope to thousands. An uncouth child of the back- woods, he became a masterly writer. A product of the small * ‘town, he learned to thrill the world with oratory. An humble, plodding youth, he rose to lead ‘mankind to a new vision of brotherhood. When the nation is full of unrest, when want and the grim, hard struggle for. existence seem about to overpower us, let us pause and take a new lease on courage. It wag not for a day that a Lincoln was born in. America. It was not in vain thet his life was passed among our forefathers. We honor him by hope. i —_— s That Michigan woman who fainted and almost lost her mind when she unexpectedly encountered the old sweetheart she had not seen in twenty years may have suddenly realized how darnd homely the critter was.—Mil- waukee Sentinel.
