Abraham LincolnCHEOUGH the perspective of enlightening years the figure of Abra-
ham Lincoln stands out perennially larger, nobler and more appeal-
ing against the background of American history.
The chief merit of a democracy is that it makes men. No de-
mocracy in the world's history has brought forth greater men than that
under which it is our privilege, and should be our pride, to live. It is they
who^constitute America's strongest claim to the consideraf
encomiums of mankind.
Washington is revered in all lands as the paragon of patriots; a -great
white shaft of human mold, typifying, above all men who ever have lived,
unselfish and unswerving devotion to a great cause.
Hamilton was ranked by Talleyrand—himself one of the master in-
tellects of his age, and the shrewdest of observers—above all the great menwhom he had known and with whom he had contended, including Napoleon,
Hamilton's portrait hung in his study until he died, bearing an inscription
in his own handwriting, "That he had loved Hamilton and that Hamilton

Jefferson, as the author of the immortal Declaration and the champion
of the plain people for equal rights and against special privilege, has s
plied the inspiration for all men who have struggled since his time aga
oppressive power.
These men, principally, constructed the American Union. f '
And Abraham Lincoln preserved it.
But for Lincoln, "government of the people, by the people and for
people" might have perished from the face of the earth. Through his
recting genius, unflinching courage and infinite patience the faith of the
patriots of 76 that "a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the prop-

Lincoln was a martyr long before he was stricken down by the assas-
sin's bullet. He was a martyr to misrepresentation, ridicule and calumny
If his spirit had not been one of the noblest that ever dwelt in humanbreast it would have succumbed under its weight of woe long before his
mission was accomplished. But as we contemplate him now, afar from the
strife and tumult of his time, he seems to have been appointed of God for the
work which he performed. How else explain that unfaltering purpose, that
beautiful serenity and that charity which was for all?
If one were looking for a keynote to Lincoln's character he would strike
it, we think, in those ever memorable words of the second inaugural: "Withfirmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive
That sentiment explains the success of Lincoln's career. For all the
great problems which confronted him he had but one method of solution-
find what is right. He never tried to think of the easiest way to gel
around difficulties, but always of the right way to overcome them.
It is not given to all men to see the right in great emergencies as
clearly as Lincoln saw it. He himself reverently acknowledged that cer
tain vision comes only as an inspiration from God. And it was because ol
