Williams at the Brotherhood meeting at the Presbyterian church, Sunday afternoon, Feb. 21, 1909.—Ed.] At first thought, it occurred to me that to occupy the entire five minutes allotted me to deliver this item of your program I should have to say about all there was to be said touching the sympathetic side of this great and good man. I have never read consecutively, the biography of Abraham Lincoln and feel somewhat at a loss in this respect, but have read many articles concerning him in the daily papers during the past, week, that I now feel crowded for time in which to say but a small part of all that might be said concerning his sympathies. Since the days of Christ's ministry in human form, i doubt if a more sympathetic man than Abraham Lincoln ever lived. Although not a member of a visible church, he seems to have been a man after God’s own heart and with open confession on many occasions, acknowledged his faith in God and dependence upon His guidance. When we consider the noble achiev ments of this typical American from boyhood to presidency in the face of so many obstacles, we observe more vividly how much his true greatness was vested in generosity and kind heartedness. Unlike Napolean as a politician and military leader, his eminence was not gained by vigorous discipline and aggressive warfare, but by statesmanship and brotherly con sideration for those who opposed him. If ever a human being of modern time approached the ideal of brother ly kindness expounded by Christ in his sermon on the Mount, we think our martyred president the most exalted. Destitute of physical comeliness, poor, an ignorant father and most meagre facilities for obtaining an education, this illustrious man lives today in the hearts of his country men by virtue of his spotless char acter, no jewel thereof more luminous than his forgiving spirit, his unselfish devotion to duty and his great loving heart for the poor and oppressed, the weak and helpless. Two conditions are essential to a full appreciation of the value of human sympathy. The first may be expressed by an evidence of the fact that human beings are in distress through sickness, death, poverty, cold, hunger, hopeless, discouraged, slan dered, misunderstood, blind, lame, disgraced, drunken, immoral, heredi tary taint and kindred offspring of sin, to all of which the human family is heir and the victims thereof are frightfully common. The second condition is evidenced by the fact that implanted within the human heart is an almost uni versal demand for sympathy and to a greater or less degree, a responsive in clination to help, aid and assist the unfortunate. The truth ofthissecond condition has been illustrated on a large scale very recently in Italy and Sicily. The earthquake victims were in sore need. Hasty and bountiful relief was imperative, but thank God, the response was timely and exceed ingly generous. Abraham Lincoln saw thousands of black fellow beings deprived of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He saw the cost of their freedom in peril to the Union, in immense destruction of property and frightful shedding of blood. With superhuman tact he sought to avoid the cost, to reason with frenzied minds and selfish in terests. His devotion to duty was perfect, his condescension unparal leled, his simplicity childlike, his courage dauntless, his faith never wavered but his greatest triumph was in sympathy and the forgiving spirit for those who dared dishonor the flag, in the hour of their deepest humiliation when right had conquered wrong. The readiness of his tender heart to pardon deserters is well known. “There are widows enough in the United States. I)o not ask me to make more.” A pathetic story is told of a young man so pardoned who fell on the field of Fredricksburg, the president’s photograph over his heart on which was writeen. “God bless President Lincoln,” bearing evidence of his appreciation of the man who had shown mercy. On the other hand, he was known to refuse pardon to slave dealers and other offenders who had no excnse for breaking the law. His sympathy with the soldiers in their terrible sufferings was so'ex treme that his body seemed actually to waste away with tne waste of his armies and his heart to be pierced by all their wounds. It was his tender ness and loving pity which shattered his nerves at last, so that toward the end he lost much of his earthly cheer and bouyancy, and became strangely sad and almost irritable at times. More than any other president we have ever had, or any other public man, Abraham Lincoln was the lov ing, compassionate, gentle father of his people and for that kindness we do him honor today. He was riding circuit once, in his Hwyer's days, and passed a pis wallowing desperately in a swamp, and almost ready to succumb to his fate. Mr. Lincoln was wearing his best clothes, and best clothes were hard to replace, so he rode on. But the thought of that distressed pig so harassed him that his tender heart could stand it no longer. He rode back some two miles and extricated the unlucky pig, though with con siderable damage to his Sunday clothes. Standing secure among the great, his name shines with a lustre which the coming years can never dim. lie was acquainted with tears and laugh tergrew more mirthful when he came: but his true glory, well secured from blame, comes from a character in which appears such strength and beauty that few are his peers in history's most select Hall of Fame. He broke the fetters of four million slaves: “One flag, one country,” was his ardent hope: hissorrows sanctified our soldier's graves, his fame gives promise to our horoscope, for shall not this great heart, this golden mouth, be claimed alike as our's, by North and South?” The Sea and the Lighthouse There stands the lighthouse grand, Towering up to the sky, On a small neck of land. Hailing every ship that goes by. It sends forth light From it's lofty tower. Piercing the dark night, In every lonely hour. Often the sea is rough, The lighthouse guides each ship: The wins howl loud and gruff, And from the ships their masts rip. I love to look out across The sea from the lighthouse window, And see the large waves toss, And listen to the wind blow. When the day fades away, Then the lighthouse shines bright' Over the little bay, In the lonely dark night. When the sun doth rise Over the little bay, That so peacefully lies, In the sun's warm ray, The lighthouse ceases to shine Forth it's radiant light; For the sun appears over the line. And it is day now, and not night. The lighthouse is getting old, But its bright faithful light Still shines out bold. In the darkest, stormiest night. —By Hal Jknnkk, 7th Grade. “The Deacon.” The second presentation of “The j Deacon” last Friday evening at the opera house by our home talent people, was witnessed by a goodly number and the drama was carried out in tine shape. We say without fear of successful contradiction that the play was given as nicely and with as good realism as the best of com panies that have visited our city in the past, and much better than by a majority of combinations that have been here. Deacon Thorton as por trayed by J. W. Conger was very true to life, the different phases of his bibulous, Adonis-like and erratic tem permental nature highly pleasing to all. L'Banks Hale as the wrongly accused nephew, gave a dignitied and well-wrought action to the character. Newton Vance as the accomplished villian was found lacking in nothing to make the play most interesting in his hardest character of all to por tray. Ken Pageler acted the typical parson as well as his other character of close friend of Vance’s villianous charcterization. Norton Lambert made a decided hit as the Deacon's simple son, Billy, as well as a good dago. Bob Jenner gave amusing zest to the drama as the Buttinsky colored individual who could never, even in the most trying moments, be entirely squelched. Amy Conger’s delineation of the character of Mrs. Thornton, around whose home clustered all the events of the drama, carried her part in a manner to attest her correct idea of her trying positions. Hattie Pageler as the daughter of Mrs. Thornton on whom the villian lavished his attentions, gave that comely char acter a good presentation, while Druzilla Pedler as Sister Amelia, whose fascinations have ensnared the Deacon, was just what could be ex pected from her, and gave warmest color to the funny bone of all present. Jessie Vance as the abandoned wife of the viilain, gave the greatest dramatic color to the play and her tragic street scene with the scoundrel ly husband was by far the best scene of the entire evening. Edna Lambert as Nellie, the little daughter of the deserted wife, dressed and acted the kid to a nicety and Carrie Hale carried off the honors as the correct servant of the household. The spec ialties between each act are well worthy of mention. Amy Conger's reading was most interesting; the duet by Jessie Vance and Hattie Pageler received an insistent recall and was most pleasing, while Newton Vance’s juggling and his artistic club swinging was constantly encored and just fine. The drama was nicely cos tumed throughout and the identity of the cast was often in doubt, even the editor, who personaliy knew each member, being at times puzzled to pick out the personality of each. If you were not present at either pres entation of the play, you lost out, for a certainty. Carden Seeds D. C. Grow, P. M., has received word from Hon. M. P.

Of course, if he has the price, all right, but what if he has not? Only $27.50 Round Trip After March 1st Personally conducted excursions first and third Tuesdays of each month. Write I).
