ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Delivered at Normal Oratorical Contest, 1890,
oy jonn v. rearsou.
I have selected as the subject of my
address, to-night, the patient life and
pathetic death of Abraham Lincoln; a
man who, from the humblest walks of
life, rose to be the central figure in one
of the most stupendous' struggles of
Christendom; a man whol though at
first vested with no more power than
any one among us here to-night, finally
wielded a scepter so potent as to enable
him to free, with one stroke of his pen,
four millions of slaves; finally guides a
force so irresistable and far-reaching as
to crush the power of half a continent
and shape the future destin v of the
grandest nation on earth.
I wish to say to you, ladies and gen
tlemen, tnat, although 1 am a democrat house in a few davs.
oi democrats, mere is not a iepublican
among you who has more respect for
the first republican president than I,
there is not a republican among you
who honors the memorv of Abraham
incoln more than 1. Among the great
est men of our history I place him, not
next to Washington, but beside him.
Abraham Lincoln was the grandest, the
truest, the most unselfish man that ever
occupied our presidential chair. While the subject in hand
the grandeur of mind, consumate state-
survive even when the final history of
the mighty nation he served so well is a
story of the past; when the Athens of
modern times shall be a memory and its
Home shall be no more.
On the tablet of glory beside the name
of ashington is written in letters of
fire, Abraham Lincoln, in our hearts,
where we cherish the remembrance of
the grand Washington, we have en
shrined the memory of the patient
Lincoln.
He was "Of the people and for the
people," and the people will see that
honor is given to whom honor is due.

Practical writing is, therefore, a style
which is suited to the purposes of busi
ness. The requirements of business
writing are:
(1) It must be rapidly writ ten without
shade or flourish.
(2) It must be easily read.
(3) It must look well.
Most persons find, when they begin
business life, that the style which they
acquired in school will not meet the re
quirements of the office. The" copy
book hand, slow, heavy and cramped,
which did service so long when rapidity
was not essential, must now be dis
carded and : a more easy, rapid and
graceful style acquired. This should
not be so. The fault lies with the
teacher. Let teachers prepare them
selves, for their duty in this is as they
do in other subjects which they are to
teach. Let the young man or young
woman who-is looking forward to a suc
cessful business life, make this first pre
paratory step and acquire a rapid,
