It was marked by a courageous attack upon stupendous questions whose wlise set- tlement was rightly regarded as fundamental to the very existence of the republic. There were giants ar- rayed on both sides of those questions, and for that very reason we have come to appraise more highly the contributions of the leader of the leaders, whose sagacity, clarity of in- tellect and steadfastness of purpose won for him the premlership among those who at last dominated and won in the cause of liberty and union, Abraham Lincoln. Even those who were at the front of opposition to him appear to us greater by reason of having coped with this glant of human purposes and patriotic aims. It was the moral intensity of this one man which, more than anything else, made the men of his time appear to us as giants; and we shall appreciate him more and more as, with continued studies of his career, we come to recognize that his times were truly the age of Lincoln. “WARREN G. HARDING". Mra. Willebrandt Spenks. Mrs. Willebrandt, first speaker. paid a tender tribute to the Great Eman- cipator, touching upon the obstacles he had to face, not only in the com- bat agalnst the Confederates, but the opposition behind his back in the north.
