The exer- cises opened with the singing of “My Country ’tis of Thee,” followed by the rendition of Lincoln's Gettysburg ad- dress by Charles L. Wood, assistant pastors of the church. ‘“The Star Spangled Banner,” led by Mrs. How- ard Horton, was then given. Rev. Warren F. Cook, the pastor, delivered the address of the evening on “Lin- coln.” He spoke as follows: Tt becomes more fitting each recur- ring vear to pause at this time in this month and consider the life of the great American statesman and world benefactor, Abraham Lincoln. The apostle said of Jesus, “Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name.” With the exception of one city the character of Jesus, we can fitting- ly use this text of scripture in appli- cation to Lincoln. Indeed there are many ways in which this greatest American resembles this greatest Israelite and there is much scripture tsed by Jesus, with reference to Him- self, His mi on, and the truths He came to promulgate, which could aptly be used of Lincoln’s character and mission. Jesus declared that He ‘“‘came that men might have life and that they might have it abun- dantly.” How truly could we say of Lincoln that his mission was a mi sion of life giving. From the early years of helpfulness in the small com- munities in the middle west unto the great act of liberation brought forth in the emancipation declaration, Lin- coln’s life is one round of inspiring and enriching and ennobling life. In truth, he did come among us that men—men who never before had known what full life was—might have ife and that they might have it abun- dantly. When Jesus, during His early ministery, stood up in the syna- gogue in his home town to read to His own people, you remember how He chose that passage from the prophecy of Isaiah and declared that His mis- sion was to fulfill this prophecy. “The spirit of the Lord is upon me,” he cried, “because He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted; to preach deliverance to the capitve, and re- of sight to the blind; to set fore hereby notified to present their notes or other claims against the as- sociation for payment.

Slavery was abolished as a national and the foundation pillar of the Declaration of Independence-— “a1l men are created free and equal’— was upheld against the selfishness and greed and the mistaken notion that one man has the right to rule another “When the white man governs himself, that is self gov- ernment,” declared Mr. Lincoln, “but when he governs himself and also gov- erns another man, that is more than self government,—that is despotism. No man is good enough to govern another man without that other man’s consent. Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government; that and that only is self overnment. Slavery is founded in the selfieshness of man's nature, opposition to it in his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism.

These prin- ciples cannot stand together. They are as opposite as God and mam- mon Belief in God. convictions and such fearless Lincoln immortal. These truths never go out of fashion. By the insistence upon these funda- mental principles came not only the liberation of the black man—far more —the liberation of truth and the white man from untruth, which was blin1- ing and shriveling him in his sup- posed right. It is a terrible thing when people are wrong and think they are right. It usually takes heart- breaking and bloodshed to right sucn Wrongs. Lincoln died for America; he died for humanity; he died for truth; and in his death we perceive the love of God for us and all man- kind. Was Such declarations make Lincoln a Christian?—has been asked, It seems to me a stupid question. He of all men since Jesus { walked among us seems to be near like Him.

I know I am right, because T know liberty is right, for Christ teaches it, and Christ is God.” We all know how Lincoln believed in prayer. In conversation with Gen, Sickles, after Gettysburg, he said he had had no anxiety about the results of the battle of Gettysburg, at which Gen. Sickles expressed surprise and pressed him for an answer. Lincoln hesitated, but finally replied in these | words: “Well, I will tell you how | it was.

But let me pass now for a little while to consider some of the qualiti of Lincoln’s greatness. ‘Lives of gr, i men all remind us that we may make our lives sublime.” If this be true it is well that we see the characte istics which define their greatn It will be evident to you that T can- not go far in this,-else I would keep you all the day. Let me just name three great pillars of the man’s ch acter-—and perchance they will sug- gest others to you. First this—His deep sense of the meaning of duty. His duty to God and his duty fellow-men. All 1 have been about his faith and his prayer life show how deeply he felt his duty to | God. “If I can learn God's will,” he | | tor ing cries, T will do it,” “1 trust 1 shall be willing to do my duty though it cost my life.” The sense of | his duty to Goa bound up sense of his duty to a cause. *If bas a work for me to do,” he and I think he has, I believe 1 ready.” In his speech at Cooper stitute, New York, he said: “If sense of duty forbids then let us stand by our duty.” Let us have faith of ht makes might and we see that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty ¢ Again, “The purposes of the Lor are perfect and must prevai “You must not give me praise, it be- Jongs to God.” How different are these utterances from those of many public men who fear to allow any- thing that may be interpreted as r- ligious crossing their lips. And how they flash to us the depths of a greab soul who knew his duty well and dered to follow it to the last. Just as strong is his feeling of duty toward his fellow men—indeed this | was his cause—this was duty to God | ¢n earth. Ingersol’s was in m In- our Tribute, Ingersol, in a splendid teibute such as he could give, leaves these words: “A great man stoop- | jng, not wishing to make his fellows fcel that they weére small or mean.

Nothing is more emphatic in his soul than the masterful fashion | in which he saw and defended the great living principles that men live Iy He was not a broadly read men not a man of many books—but he a deeply read man, a man of great thought.
