It is not Aiii'nham Lincoln who Inis grown, but Hie nation which, with Hie passing years, has come into a realization of his true greatness. I am reminded, in I his conned ion. of (lie eloquent words of Brand \\ hillock, spoken regarding Lincoln, in 1 DOS, as follows: \His beautiful (tienili was not to be. Shrewd, logical realist though lie was, nevertheless be was essentially an idealist, and Ids ideal was too high, too far. Mutual forgiveness, immediate reconciliation, brotherly love, were not for Ids coniemporuries, and their lui!red bore its inevitable fruit in Hie hitler days of reeonstruelion that fol lowed. Because they could not under stand bini, Hie men of his.time reviled and ridiculed him, measured him by Hie standards with which they meas ured themselves, and, 1« judging Wm, Judged only themselves. Themselves impractical, they thought him imprac tical, who was the most pracliiul of men ; thought him ignorant, who w as file wisest of men ; sneered at him as uneducated—him on whom degrees and doctors’ hoods would have appeared pinchbeck and ridiculous ! , As Hie scenes of Hie great war receded, ns the persi>ective lengthened and pas sions cooled, men came to see how great, how mighty, bow original he was. As slowly they grew' In the na tional spirit he breathed into them, as mankind in its upward striving reached toward his stature, they began to rec ognize in him not only the first, bat tite ideal American, realizing in his life ail that America is and dreams. And more and more, as time goes on, lie grows upon the mind of the world. The figure of Washington, the first of American heroes, has taken on the cold and classic isolation of a marble statue. But Lincoln, even though in- j evitable legend has enveloped Mm in its refracting 1 atmosphere, remains dearly human, and the common man may look upon his sad ap4-homely face, and find in It that quapity of char acter which casses him th, revere and love him as a familiar friend—one cf the common people whom, as be once humorously said, Godteest have loved 'Iterasse He made so tnguy of them.' Thus he remain« to the heart, jast as If he had fire* m through the years, eseeutlrit? an* fwrever human, not alone the poseesskm of «tor own For him her old-world mold aside she threw, And ehooBing sweet clay from the breast Of the unexhausted West, With stuff untainted, shaped a hero new, W ise, si end l ast In the strength of God, and true. HI b was no lonely momualn-peak of mind, Thrusiing to thin air o'er our cloudy liars. ' A scar mark now-now lost in vapors blind Broad prairie rather genial, level lined, Fruitful and friendly for all human kind. Yel also night lu Heaven and tile loftiest stars. The place of Abraham Lincoln In history is not only secure, but it is one which will grow from y ear to year His niiino stands first in the l’untlieon of ihis republic, and his slur will shine down Hie visla of Hie centuries, a guiding iigtit to all who follow. To the hmse of liberi.v and equality, to Hie nation and all liuiiuinity- lie gave him telf in life and death, and a Savior Valid not do more. Thu! is what con- ititul fs Ids universal appeal to the common people of all nalimis and all decades, and that is why we should pause in our busy, work-a-day world on February 12, to pay our humlde tribute lo the greatest American.
