Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lincoln Centenary Services, 1909 So much has been said and written about Abraham Lincoln that it is hardly possible to add anything new. There are not only numerous formal lives of the great President, but also a multitude of subjective studies and appreciations. It is doubtful whether even the approaching centenary will bring forth much new material. There may be some hitherto unknown letter or fragment, some hitherto unpublished portrait - and every such little treasure, we may be sure, will be wrested from obscurity by lovers of Lincoln. Very little, however, can possibly be added to our store of information about the stirring period of which Lincoln was the central figure and towering hero. What the Lincoln Centenary, on the other hand, is certain to do, is this: it will emphasize the ethical element of Lincolns life. It will turn the mind of mankind once again to his wondrous personality. It will fasten the attention of the Nation anew upon the qualities of his unique character and the high motives behind it. And must we not believe that, when all is said and done, it is just this that forms the chief legacy of any great man to his fellowmen? The achievements of the leaders of humanity would be of little worth and of short duration if behind them there were not some moral force, if they were not imbued with some perennial ethical value. The actual deeds of the worlds great men may prove of little interest to distant posterity - they may be superseded, they may dwindle in proportion, they may become the unconscious part of ordinary life, or they may be forgotten altogether.
