Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Faith of Abraham Lincoln: An Address Before the Presbyterian Social Union of Philadelphia, February 22, 1909 "I cannot but know what you all know, that without a name, - perhaps without a reason why I should have a name, - there has fallen upon me a task such as did not rest even upon the Father of his Country," were the words modestly spoken on the 13th day of February, 1861, by him who within four years of that utterance was to achieve such result and to attain such renown that on the roll of great Americans the one name which we think it not robbery to be equal with that of Washington is the name of Abraham Lincoln. Coincident in the month of their birth, associated by the greatness of their work, enshrined pre-eminent above their fellows, it surely is not unfitting on this day that commemorates the birth of the first of these men to speak of the second, - the echoes of whose centenary observance are still audible - for it was his glory, as it had been his oft-declared purpose, to preserve and perpetuate the Government that the first had founded.
