ABRAHAM LI NCOLNi
Abraham Lincoln's forefathers
were pioneers—pioneers who gave
up their homes to mme “est“nrd
into the wilderness which confronted
them on all sides. Pioneers who
faced solitude. privation and even
death itself to pave a way that
others coming after might live.
Abraham Lincoln was born on
February 12_ 1809 in a little log
cabin of the rudest kind. Certainly
nothing seemed more unlikely than.
that he. coming into the world in
such an obscure way. should one day
load a nation! He was to be a
pioneer. too—a pioneer not like his
forebears. leaders into unsettled
country and unexplored fields—but
a. leader of a nobler sort, leading
and directing the minds of a mighty-
host ever towards the right. and
leading the American people through
danger. strife and great difficulties

and a. mighty war to freedom and
peace. '
About his early childhood little or
nothing is known. To this boy a
farm with :its outlying fields offered
much that a city could not even be-
gin to give—Ipace! Space to breathe
in, to think in and to wander in.

and ever-present birds. Quiet pools,
with their frogs and water folks

his path to people the solitude in
place. of human companions. The
boy had his friends. He roamed
about playing his lonesome games
and at night returned to the dc”

and fro mtho moment he learned
to reallNhis one desire was to obtain
more literature.
So time slipped away—first the
small boy. who at the age of seven
had an ax put into his hands which
until his twenty-third year he was
almost constantly handling;—then
on through the years always with a
craving for knowledge which cx-
celled all his other emotions. He
was helpful, sympathetic. cheerful.
in all the neighborhood gatherings
when boys of various ages met at
the country postoi‘fice or village
store or even if they met by chance,
he was able to add his full share to
the gnieiy of the company. His wit
was never malicious although it
might be mischievous and his non—
sense was never intended to wound
or to hurt. It is even told that some
of his most humorous Jokes were
obtained by his imitations of the ser-
mons of eccentric preachers.

So we follow him with his ever
changing titles of——Captain Lincoln.
Lawyer Lincoln Congressman Lin-
coln and then The President of the
United States. Perhaps there were
some who envied him when. in the
stately pomp of inauguration. he
took the oath of ouice which made
him President. Such envy would
have been changed to deepest sym-
pathy had they own or could they
even guess wh‘ lay before him.

must have realized the peril of ’tho

him, proved beyond a doubt the
man for the task, and arose to meet

the hearts of a people glowing with
the joy of victory. a great'emptyness
which no amount of time could heal.
We wonder why this man‘vwas so
loved that his death caused a whole
nation-to mourns and to turn its
gladness into sorrow. A child born
to know only want: a. boy seeing
only around him a narrow world of
ignorance; s. youth lending his hand
in heavy labor which was far beyond
his years: a. man entering intothe
druggle of a backwoods career—
these were the beginnings of Abra-
ham Lincoln—the beginnings which
gave him the strong. active mind
that carried him to the service 'of
mankind and which‘ will make his
name live through the centuries as
certainly as the acorn grows into the
oak.

Abraham Lincoln was not “an or-,
dinary man. His greatness did not
consist in growing upon the frontier
--he was gifted. The‘pioneer life
with its constant and severe train-
ing in, self-denial. patience and in-
dustry. developed his cheracter. but
it. was the man himself from the
first to last. He will remain Abraham
Lincoln the man with unbounded
charity. with steady sélf control and
unwarped sympathy. The man with
spirit so humble and soul so great
that he alone could have carried us
through the labors he wrought to
the victory be attained.
So “With malice toward none. with
charity for all. with firmness in the
right as God gave him to see the
right." he lived and died. We who
have lived after him feel daily the
influence of his life. and though he
has passed into legend and story yet
we walk a little straighter for having
