WILSON AGCEPTS LINGOLN CABIN (Continued from First Page.) most of every gift and power we pos- sess every page of our history serves to emphasize and illustrate. Stand- ing here in this place, it seems almost the whole of the stirring story “Here Lincoln had his beginnings. Here the end and consummation of that great life seem remote and a bit inoredible. And yet there was no break anywhere between beginning and end, no lack of natural sequence anywhere. Nothing really incredible happened. Lincoln was unaffectedly much at home in the White House s he was here. Do you share with me the feeling, I wonder, that he was permanently at home nowhere? It seems to me that in the case of a man,—T would rather say of a spirit, —like Lincoln the question where he was is of little significance, that it is always what he was that really ar- rests our thought and takes hold of our imagination. It is the spirit al- ways that is sovereign. Lincoln, like the rest of us, was put through the discipline of the world,—a rough and exacting discipline for him, an Indis- pensable discipline for every man who would know what he is about in the midst of the world’s affairs; but his spirit got only its schooling there. It did not derive its character or its vision from the experiences which brought it to its full revelation. The test of every American must alw be, not where he is, but what he That, also, is of the essence of de- mocracy and is the moral of which this place is most gravely expressive. “We would like to think of men like Lincoln and Washington as typi- cal Americans, but no man can be typical who is so unusual as these great men were. It was typical of life that it should produce such men with supreme indifference as to the manner in which it pro- duced them, and as readily here in this hut as amidst the little circle of cultivated gentlemen to whom Vir- ginla owed so much in leadership and example. And Lincoln and Washing ton were typical Americans in the usec they mads of their genius. But there will be few such men at best, and we will look into the mystery of how and why they come. We will oniy keep the door open for them alw and a hearty welcome,—after have recognized them. Lincoln a Lonely Spir “I have r we d many biographies of Lincoln; I have sought out with the greatest erest the many intimate stories that are told of him, the nar- ratives of nearby friends, the sketches at close quarters, in which those who had the privilege of being associated with him have tried to depict for us the very man himself ‘in his habit as he lived;’ but I have nowhere found a real intimate of Lincoln's. T no- where get the impression in any nar- rative or reminiscence that the writer had in fact penetrated to the heart of his mystery, or that any man could penetrate to the heart of it. That brooding spirit had no real familiars. I get the impression that it never spoke out in complete self-revelation, and that it could not reveal itself completely to anyone. It was a very lonely spirit that looked out from underneath those shaggy brows and comprehended men without fully communing with them, as if, in spite of all its genal efforts at comradeship, it dwelt apart, saw its visions of duty where no man looked on. There is a very holy and very terrible isola- tion for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in af- fairs for others as well as for him« self, for a nation as well as for in- dividual. That privacy no man |can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist. Ths strange child of the cabin kept company with invisible things, was born into no intimacy but that of its own silently assembling and deploying thoughts. “I have come here today, not to Some picnic!

He founded an American- ! ism that is not a matter of creed or national descent, but an ideal of the soul and of the mind; an American- ism that is not merely a union of po- litical entities, but of a common as- piration and a common destiny; an Americanlsm so virile that there need be mno nation so strong We should fear it, or so powerful W must cower at its feet; an Ameri- canism so just that the Golden Rule may be the supreme law guiding us in our diplomatic relations with other | nations; an Americanism ready to de- fend the aggression of all but intentionally offending none upholding the principle of the rights | of man throughout the world. “Until recently this place, should be an object lesson to coming generations and every American, was unnoticed aban- doned.

Gen. John B. Castleman, of Louis- ville, & man Abraham Lincoln once stood ready to save when he was in danger of being condemned to death, by a federal court martial, was to introduce former Gov. Joseph Folk, of Missouri, president of the Lincoln Farm Association, the first speaker at the ceremonies at which the title was transferred. 5 Young Castleman, t'wn a lieutenant in the Confederate arui general dates from Spanish war days) was arrested in Chicago during the closing omnths of 1864, while n a secret mission in connection with a proposed attempt to liberate southern held as prisoners of war in vielnity. He was taken in ci- vilian clothing, using an name and his friends feared he would be condemned to death as a spy. They appealed to President Lincoln and he being put into possession of all the facts in the case gave to Judge S. M. Breckenridge, of St. Lou through whom the appeal was made, a letter forbidding the execution of Castleman, in the event he was sen- tenced to death by court martial. This letter written Nov. 29, 1864, was not to be used unless a sentence of death was passed against Castleman, and unl such an emergency did ari the fact that it had been written was to be kept sccret. Caslleni n was re- leased on parole at the close war. Former Gov. Folg was followed by Senator John Sharp Williams, who like General Castleman, was a Con- federate soldier.
