Here's Interesting News From Burgess-Nash
The Immortal Lincoln
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN ypam ago, February 12.
in a lowly Kentucky cabin, amidst poverty such as
very few of us have had to contend with, was born Abraham
Lincoln.
He surmounted obstacles that most of
us would deem unsnrmountable and rose
to the highest place and highest honor
in this great nation ever growing in
the love and esteem of the American
people, until the sad day when the great
heart was stilled by the assassin's bullet
in April, 1865.
Practically without schooling, he was
a self-made man in the fullest sense in
which that term can be used ; - with a
mighty intellect and a. rare blendinar of
- the qualities of simplicity, sympathy,
f y honesty, perfect justice, mercy and love
ror nis ienowmen.
The work of the world goes on, but let us, every one,
pause to think of this great and good man who will live
forever in the minds of all Americans. '
