The trom ihe day of the the is We gel away brighter the truths of the naturalist, and the disiance we have traveled since the death of Lincoln has proven hix faith and confidence in humanity. Darwin and Lincoln were born the same vear. month and dav. Darwin loved all nature. Lincoln all humaniry Darwin. lived under the idea that na fure was supreme and by his never ceasing efforts has given us an abun: dant food for thought. together with the keve to time that has been sealed for millions of vears. so we can read the records of the slow progr nature. The theories of Darwin back through countless ages. Lincoln lived under the divine {dea that all humanity was akin. and through his conscientious toil in the canse of humanity, it seemed that he went firat forward and then backward sometimes at a standstill, but finallv he won the lasting confidence, admira tion and respect of all mankind when he made the greatest nation ane and inseparable. Darwin reposes in mother earth, while the flowers come forth to hloom. while the birds chirp thair songs of love, while the beasis of the forest roam in their freedom: above him the celestis]l planets whirl and dance, while the morning stars sing together: all nature is paying homage to this great genius. Lincoln Hes in peaceful repose. Bronze, marhle and granite have been Put together to perpetuate his memor to those he served: but the love of his innermost soul for all humanlty will outlive the bronze, marble and gran fte. It is pleasing to think of his energy. his generous love for all thas was good and his hatred of all that s vile. cruel or dishonorable, lived for a purpose and his afm achieved.
