LINCOLN’S PART IN HISTORY
Many are living today who lived during the latter
part of the lifetime of Abraham Lincoln. A few remain
who knew him personally. All of the American people,
and thousands in foreign lands across the oceans, hold
his name and memory in respect and admiration.
Each recurring birthday anniversary of the immor-.
tal-like Lincoln brings its lessons. For Lincoln was the
type of man who would sacrifice all other conditions for i
principle of whatever was believed by him to be correct
and an honest attitude. Versatility was among his char-j
•aeteristics. Whether any given situation staged the hum
orous or the tragic he seemed to have the happy faculty
of knowing how to take advantage of the circumstance.
The side-glances of Lincoln’s character reveal per
haps as much of ’ interest as his accomplishments as a
statesman prove his ability. Above all, h,e was “immortal
ly human.” There is no end to his life. There can be no
last word concerning his career. He grew to greatness
while living; He remains alive tho dead. In him, honesty
was not only a virtue, it was power. Simplicity was not
onlv his guiding trait, it was his strength in great trib
ulation.
Lincoln, like the great General, Lee, understood the
theory of advocacy; that is, he knew that his mission
was one representing the people in great issues. With
this in mind he always stood ready and willing to sacri
fice himself for the causes which he challenged.
Had it not been for men like Lincoln, editorial writ
ers would have to fancy their subjects and draw upon
their imaginations. But with his life and works before
them there is presented a vast panorama of human
events; a period of absorbing interest because it is mag
nificent and epochal. His career was typical of his time,
yet it stood out in decisive contrast, and • constitutes an
important phase in American and even woidd history.
In unity there is strength enough to turn the wheel
of fortune for everybody.
Mars, like Alaska, has been outlawed, but he hasn’t
been captured and put in jail.
