'W'jnmrMmmkrmr 1 INCOLN-S iMMOFnAgT Comnllcd By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN HTTEU than ull printed biographies are tli renewals and continuations of the lives of greater men In the lives of the less. No other Ameri can, and very few men of nny nation or period have entered so intimately Into the personal experience of mil lions us Abrahnui Lincoln. The words of him who never had n yenr In school ure used In teaching col lege btudents the highest possibili ties of language. His coined phrases are worn smooth and dateless in current speech. Hut more than that, his halilt of thought has guided tho thinking of errand boy and President. Ills faith quickens the faith of us all. Shelley wrote of Keats: , f JIo Is made ono with nnturc; thcro Is heard His volco In all her music, from tho moan Of thunder to the song of night's sweet bird; Ho Is a presence to bo felt and known In darknets und In light, from herb nnd stono Spreading Itsolf where'er that I'ower may move Which lias withdrawn his being to Its own; Which wields the world with never-wearied love, Sustains It from beneath and kindles It abovo. In Mich wise the man whose birth we celebrate hns entered Into tho life of his people and Is ta process of penetrating the. wider circles of tho whole worltl's life. This, on Its onrthwurd side, Is the Immortality of Abraham Lincoln. The man had a thousand Hoswclls but no great one. . . Some 1,000 books or pamphlets have been Issued dealing with the various phases of the subject. . . lint If the choice must be made between thu books other men hnvo written about liim and Lincoln's own words, the letters and ad dresses hold first place. He can be trusted as tho best witness In Ills own case. Ills word was ns good ns his bond, and his life was as good as his word. Speech was tho water from a living well, under which the stream of character never failed. Probably the majority of men desire to bo count ed on the side of truth. Hut few will make any great effort to find whnt Is true. And, Sir Thomas Hrowno declares, not every man Is a fit champion of truth. For when the man who Is right In prin ciple falls In the trial by combnt, the cause suffers in his defeat. Abraham Lincoln wns not u speculative philos opher, nn originator of systems of thought. Hut he wns ono of the greatest exponents and defend ers of truth In Its applications and Illustrations In human experience that the world has ever seen. Ills life nnd words which ure Inseparable per fectly teach thu balance between thought and net, principle nnd practice, general truth und partial' Inr fact. Tho same Is true of tho letters, which are full of keen and kindly applications to the life of ench ono of us and of the whole people. Even with Gettysburg und tho second Inaugural in mind, we hnvo found a more nearly completo und satisfying expression of tho man lu his letters than in his nddresscs. In them he confounds the enemies or tho Itepubllc, ndmoulshes, warns, and Instructs his people, and comforts the broken-hearted with a tenderness that hnd blossomed upon the graves of Nancy Hanks nnd Ann Hutledge and upon those of his children. For In this man reason nnd emotion wen joined like form nnd color In n flower. He re joiced In tho exercise of his mind, but he hnd none of that Intellectual nrroganco that denies all it cannot comprehend or prove. Tho charge of nthe Ism Is tho most futile of nil thnt have been brought against him. As nn Inquiring boy ho read Tom Paltte and wrote nn essay nlong rndlcul lines, hut tho pressuro of human need constrained him to turn to Divinity. Prayer wus tho very breath of his later life. Gen. Daniel Sickles was hardly tho man to Invent a pious tale. He hns repeated to many witnesses the story of Lincoln's prayer before Gettysburg. Hut It In Inconceivable that so honest n man could write his reverent expressions of trust In the Al mighty without n personal senso of relationship. The two men of tho Nineteenth century who have drawn und held thu most Intense ndtnlratlon of the civilized world nre Napoleon Honapartc nnd Abraham Lincoln. Hoth were great lenders, great executives. Hoth had the power of binding their followers to them with n personnl loyalty stronger than the ties of blood. Hoth appeal to the Imag ination of millions who never saw them. Hut, ns the Evening Sun pointed out on the nnnlversnry of Waterloo, It Is the downfall of Na poleon thnt the world remembers, the long-deferred but Inevitable defeat of ambition. Lincoln died victorious, not alone In the clrcumstnnco of tri umphant arms nnd u nation reunited but In tho victory of unselfish devotion to the cause of human freedom." He Identified his life with the progress of mankind, and In losing himself ho found Itn rortallty. (Editorial In New York Sup, 1010). The assertion "That all men nre created equnl" was of no practical use In effecting our 'separation from Great Hrltaln; und It was placed lu the Dec laration not for that but for future use. Its au thors meant It to he ns, thank God, It Is now proving Itself n stumbllngblock to nil those who In nftcrtlnies might seek to turn ii free people back Into the hateful paths of despotism. They knew the prononoss of prosperity to breed tyrants, and they meant, when such should reappear In this fair land und commence their vocation, they should And left for them at least one hard nut to . crack. (Speech at Springlleld, III., Juno 20, 1857.) Think nothing of me; take no thought for tho political fate of any man whomsoever, but come bnck to the truths that are In the Declaration of Independence. While pretending no ludlffcrenco to earthly honors, I do claim to be actuated lu this contest by something higher tluffl nn nnxlety for olllce. I charge you to drop every paltry and In significant thought for any man's success. It Is nothing; .lodge Douglas Is nothing. Hut do not destroy that Insxiortnl emblem of humanity the Declaration of Independence. (Speech at Hards town, III., Aug. 12, 1858.) I have often Inquired of myself what great prin ciple or Idea It was that kept this confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of tho separation of tho colonies from the motherland but that sentiment In the Declaration of Indepen dence which gave llbeity, not aline to the people of this country but, I hope, to I'lie world for all future time. It was that which gave prom I ho that In due time the weight would he lifted from the shoulders of all men. (Speech at Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Feb. 22, 18(11.) Hut soberly, It Is- now no child's play to save tho principles of Jefferson from total overthrow lu this nation. . . . This Is a world of com pensation, and he who .would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny free dom to others deseno It not for themselves, and, under n Just God, cannot long retain it. All honor to Jefferson to the man who, lu the concrete pressure of a struggle for national Independence by a single people, had thu coolness, forecast, ami capacity to Introduce Into a merely revolutionary document an abstract truth, applicable to all men nnd nil times, and so to embalm It there that to day, and in all coming days, It shall be a rcbuko and n stumbllngblock to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny nnd oppression. (Letter to Itepubllcans of Hoston, April 0, 1859, lu reply to nn Invitation to attend a celebration in honor of Jefferson's birthday.) This declared Indifference, but ns I must think, covert zeal, for tho spread of slavery, I canriot but hate. I hate It because of the monstrous In justice of slavery Itself, 1 hate It because It de prives our republican example of Its Just Influ ence In the world? enables the enemies of frco institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us ns hypo crites, causes tho real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, nnd especially becnuso It forces bo many good men among ourselves Into nn open war with the vcry-fundumentui principles of civil lib erty, criticising the Declaration of Independence nnd Insisting thnt there Is no right prlnctplo of action but self-interest. (Speech at Ottawa, III., Aug. 21, 1858.) What constitutes the bulwark of our own lib erty und Independence? It Is not our frowning battlements, our bristling seacousts, the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gullnnt and disciplined army. Thcsu ure not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny In our fair land, . . . Our reliance Is In the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms. Our defense Is In the preservation of the spirit which prizes lib erty us thu hcrltuge of all men In nil lands every where. Destroy this spirit und you have piantcd the seeds of despotism around our owr. doors. (Speech ut Chicago, HI., Sept. 11, 1S58., All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Afrtcn com bined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) In their military chest, with a Honuparte for u commander, could not by force take u drink from thu Ohio or make a track on the Hlue Itldgu In u trlul of u 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 Irom abroad. If destruc tion be our lot we must ourselves be Its author and llnlsher. As u nation of frecdmen we must lle through nil timu or die by suicide. (Speech ut Springlleld. III., Jan. 27, 18117.) No man Is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. . . . Thoso who deny freedom to others deserve It not for them selves, and under a just God cannot long retain It. (Speech at Springlleld, III., Oct. 1, 1851.) Allow nil the governed an equal voice In tho government; that and that only Is self-government. . . . Finally, I Insist that If there Is anything that It Is the duty of tho whole people to never Intrust to hands other than their own that thing Is the preservation and perpetuity of their own liberties and Institutions. (Speech at Peoria, III., Oct. 10, 1854.) Tho strongest bond of human sympathy outsldo tho family relation should bo one uniting all work-. Ing people of all nations, tongues und kindreds. (Reply to committee of Worklngmen's association of New York, Mar. 21, 180-1.) We will hereafter speak for freedom and against slavery us long us tho Constitution guarantees free speech; until everywhere on this wide land 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. 07.) I go for till sharing tho privilege of tho govern ment who assist lu bearing Its burdens, . . , by no menus excluding females. (Announcement of political views, June 13, 18110.) I am 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 nil to broaden rather than contract their privileges. (Interview, Springlleld, III. Hcrndon, p. 025.) Hut- In u larger senso wo cannot dedicate, wo cannot consecrate, Wo cannot hallow, this ground. Tho brave men, living and dend, who struggled here, hnvo consecrated It far abovo our poor power to add or detract. The world will Uttlo note, nor long remember what wo say hero, but It ctw never forget what they did here. It Is for us, the living, rather to bo dedicated hero to tho unfinished work which they who fought hero have thus far so nobly advanced. It Is rather for us to bo hero dedicated to the great-task rcmnlnlng before us; thnt from theso honored dend wo take Increased devotion; that wo here highly resolve thnt theso dead shall not hnvo died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall hnvo a new birth of freedom; and that government of tho people, by tho people, for tho pcoplo, shall not perish from tho earth. (Gettys burg Address, November 10, 1603.) -
