Compiled By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
ETTEll than nil printed biographies
are the renewals and continuations
of the lives of grenter men In tho
lives of the less. No other Ameri
can, and vers fv men of, nny nation
or period linvo entered so Intimately
into tho personal experience of mil
lions as Abraham Lincoln. The
words of him who never had n year
in school are used In teaching col
lege students the highest possibili
ties of innguage. Ills coined phrases are worn
Bmooth nnd dateless in current speech. But more
than that, his habit of thought has guided tho
thinking of errand boy and President. Ills fntth
quickens the fnith of us all. Shelley wrote of
Keats:
IIo Is made one with nature; thero Is heard
Ilia voice In all her music, (rum the moan
Ot thunder to th song ot night's sweet bird;
Ho Is a presenco to be felt nnd known
In darluicas nnd jn light, from herb nnd stone
Spreading itself where'er that Power may move
Which haa withdrawn his being to Its own;
Which wleWs the world with nover-wearled love,
Sustnlnp It from beneath and Kindles It above.
In such wisu the mnn whose birth we celebrate
lins entered into the life of his people and
;Is In process of penetrating the wider circles of tho
whole world's life. This, on Its enrthward side,
Is the Immortality of Abraham Lincoln.
Tho man had u thousand Hoswells but no great
one. . . Somo 1,500 books or pnmpblets have
been Issued denllng with the various phases of
the subject. . . Hut If tho choice must be made
between the book's other men have written about
him and Lincoln's own words, tlie letters nnd ad
dresses hold first place. Ile'can be trusted us tho
best witness in his own case. Ills word was as
good as .his bond, and his life wns ns good as his
word. Speech was the water from n living well,
iiider which the stream of character never fulled.
Probably the majority of men desire to'bo count
el nn the sldo of truth. Hut few will make nny
KVeut effort to 11ml what is true. And, Sir Thomas
N.-owne declares, not every man Is n lit champion
of truth, For when tho man who Is right In prin
ciple falls In the trial by combat, tho cause suffers
In his defeat.
Abraham Lincoln wns not a speculative philos
opher, an orlglnntor of systems of thoujht. Hut
ho was oao of thu greatest exponents and defend
ers of truth In Its applications nnd Illustrations
In human experience that the world has ever seen.
Ills life and words which arc Inseparable per
fectly tench tho balance between thought nnd net,
principle nnd practice, general truth and particu
lar fact.
The snmo Is true of the letters:, which are full
ot keen and kindly applications to tho Jlfo of each
one of us and of thu whole people. Even with
Uetljfcburg nnd the second Inaugural In mind, we
have found a moro nearly completp and satisfying
expression of the man in his letters than 'In Ills
addresses. In them ho confounds the enemies of
the Uepuhlle, ndmonlsheH, warns, und Instructs his
people, and comforts the broken-hearted with a
tenderness that had blossomed upon the graves of
Nancy Hanks and Ann llutledge npd upon those of
his cbildieu,
.Knr In tula man reason nnd emotion were
Joined like form und color In n flower. 1I& re
joiced In the exercise of his mind, but ho hnd none
of that Intellectual nrrosnnco that denies nil It
cannot comprehend or prove. Tho charge of athe
ism Is tho most futile of nil that hnve been brought
ngalnst him. As nil Inquiring boy ho road Tom
Pulue :uul wrote an essay along radical lines, but
tho pressuro of liumuii need constrained him to
turn to Diinfy.
Prayer was the very breath of bis Inter life.
Gen. Uanlal Sickles was hirdly the- man to Invent
a pious tale. He hnjs repeated to many wltncbses
tho btwry of Llnccjlu's prayer before Gettysburg.
Hut It Is Inconcelvnblp that so honest a man could
write his reverent expressions of trust In the Al
mighty without u persbnal sense of relationship.
The two men of the Nineteenth century who
have drawn nnd held the most Intense admiration
jf tlie civilized world are Napoleon Uonaparte and
Abraham 'Lincoln. Both were great leaders, great
executives. Both had tlie power of binding their
followers to them with a pergonal loyalty stronger
than the tics of blood. Both appeal to the' Imag
ination of millions who never saw them.
But, ns the Evening Sun pointed out on the
nnnlversary of Waterloo, It is the downfall of TCu
poleon thnt the world remembers, the long-deferred
but Inevitable defeat of ambition. Lincoln died
victorious, not alone In the circumstance of tri
umphant urms and u nntlon reunited but Ir the
victory of unselfish devotion to the cause of huinan
freedom. He identified his life with the progress
of mankind, nnd in losing himself he found Im
rortaltty. (Editorial In New York Sun, 1019):
The assertion "That all men nro created ecmnl"
was of no practical use. In effecting our separation
from Great Britain ; and it was placed In tho Dec
laration not for that but for future use. Its au
thors meant -It to be as, thank God, It Is now
proving Itself n stumbllngblock to nil those who
In nl'tertlnies might seek to turn a free people
back Into the hateful paths of despotism. They
knew the proneness of prosperity to breed tyrants,
and they meant, when such should renppcur In
this fair land and commence their vocation, they
should find left for them nt least one hard nut to
crack. (Speech at Springfield, 111., June 20, 1837.)
Think nothing- of me ; take no thought for the
political fate of any man whomsoever, but come
back to the truths that are in the Declaration of
Independence. While pretending no Indifference
to earthly honors, I do claim to bo actuated in this
contest by something higher than nn nnxlcty for
office. I charge you to drop every paltry and In
significant thought for nny man's success. It, Is
nothing; Judge Douglns Is nothing. But do nor
destroy thnt 'Immortal emblem of humanity tlie
Declnrntlon of Independence. (Speech at Bards
town, III., Aug. 12, 185S.)
I havo often Inquired of myself whnt great prin
ciple or Idea It was that kept this confederacy so
long together. It was not tho mere mnttcr of the
separation of tho colonies from the motherland
but that sentiment In tho Declaration of Indepen
dence which gave liberty, not nlono to the people
of this country but, I hope, to the world .for all
future time. It was that which gave promise that
In duo time the weight would be lifted from tho
shoulders of nil men. (Speech nt Independence
Hall, Philadelphia, Feli,. 22, 1S01.)
But sebcrly, It Is now no child's play to save
' tho principles of Jefferson from total overthrow
In this nutlon. . . . This Is a world of com
pensation, nnd he who would bo no slave must
consent to have no slave. Thoso who deny free
dom to others deserve It not for themselves, and,
under n Just God, cannot long retain It. All honor
to Jefferson to the man who. In the concrcto
pressure of a struggle for national Independence
by n single people, had the coolness, forecast, and
capacity to Introduce into n merely revolutionary
document up abstract truth, nppllcable to nil men
nnd nil timed, nnd so to embalm It there that to
dny, and In all coming days, It shall bo n rebuke
nnd a sturabllnnblock to tho very harbingers of
reappearing tyranny nnd oppression. (Letter to
Republicans of Boston, April 0, 1850, In roply to
nn Invitation to uttend n celebration In honor ot
Jefferson's birthday.)
This declared Indifference, but ns I must think,
covert zeal, for tho spread of slavery, I cannot
but hate. I hate It because of tho monstrous In
justice of slavery Itself. I hate It because It de
prives our republican example of Its Just Influ
ence In tbe world, enables tho. enemies of freo
institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us ns hypo
crltes, causes the real friends of freedom to doubt
our sincerity, nnd especially because It forces so
many good men among ourselves Into an open war
with the very fundamental principles of civil lib
erty, criticising tlie Declaration of Independence
and insisting that there Is no right principle of
action but self-interest. (Speech at Ottawa, 111:
Aug. 21, 1858.)
What constitutes the bulwark of our own lib
erty und independence? It Is not our frowning
bnttlements, our bristling seacousts, the guns of
our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant
and disciplined army. These are not our reliance
against a resumption of tyranny In our fulr land.
. . . Our reliance Is in the love of liberty which
God has planted In our bosoms. Our defense is
In the preservation of tho spirit which prizes lib
erty as the heritage of all men In all lands every
where. Destroy this spirit and you have planted
the seeds of despotism around our own doors.
(Speech ut Chicago, 111., Sept. 11, 1S53.)
All the armies of Europe, Asia, nnd Africa com
bined, with nil the treusuro of the earth (our own
excepted) In their military chest, with n Bonaparte
for u commander, could not by force take n drink
from tho Ohio or make a track on tlid Blue Itldge
In u trial of a thousand years. At what point,
then, Is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, If It ever reaches us It must spring up
among us ; it cannot come from abroad. If destruc
tion be our lot we must ourselves bo Its author
und finisher. As n nation of freedmon we must
live through all tlne or die by suicide. (Speech
at Springtleld. III., Jan. 27, 1837.)
No man Is good enough to govern another 'man
without that other's consent. . . . Those who
deny freedom to others deserve it not tor them
selves, and under u just God cannot long retain
It. (Speech at Springtiold, 111.. Oct. 1, 1S51.)
Allow nil the governed an equal voice In the
government; that and that jinly Is .self-government
. . . Finally, I Insfbt that If there Is
anything that It Is tho duty of the whole people
to never Intrust to hands other than (heir own
that thing Is the preservation and perpetuity of
their own liberties and Institutions. (Speech nt
Peoria, III.. Oct. 10, IBM.)
The strongest bond of human sympathy outside
the family relation should be one uniting nil work
ing people of all nations, tongues and kindreds.
(Beply to committee of Worklngiuen's usboclailon
of New York, Mar. 21, 1804.)
We will hereafer spouk for freedom and agnlnst
slavery as long ns the Constitution guarantees
free speech; until everywhere on this wide laud
the sun shall shine, nnd tho rain shall fall, and
the wind shall blow upon no man who goes forth
to unrequited toll. (1850, History of Abraham
Lincoln. Arnold, p. 97.)
I go for all sharing the privilege of the govern
ment who assist in bearing Its burdens, . . ,
by no menus excluding females. (Announcement
of political views, June 18, 18H0.)
I nm opposed to the limitation or lessening of
the right of suffrage. If anything I nm in favor
of its extension or enlargement: I want to lift
men up to broaden rather than contract their
privileges. (Interview, Sprlngflold, 111. Herndon
p. 025.)
But In n larger sense we cannot dedicate, wo
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground.
Tho bravo men, living nnd dead, who strugglad
herehave consecrated It far aboe our poor power
to udd or detract. Tim world will little note, nor
long remember whnt we say here, hut It can never
forget what they did here. It Is for us, the living,
rather to he dedicated hero to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. It Is rather for us to be here dedicated
to tho great task remaining before ns; that from
these honored dead wo take Increased devotion;
that we here highly resnlve that these dead siiuli
not havo died In vnlli; thu,t thl$ nation, under
God, shall have a new blrtjrrof freedom; nnd thnt
government of Jho people, by the ptwple, fr, ti-o
people, shall not perish from tl;e enrtli,. (Gpttyu
