Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lincoln´s Message to the Twentieth Century: Delivered Before the Hennepin Republican Association at the West Hotel, Minneapolis, February 12th, 1902 Ninety-three years ago to-day, a child was born to an humble pioneer in the backwoods of Hardin County, Kentucky. Fifty-seven years later, and just thirty-six years ago to-day, George Bancroft, standing in the National House of Representatives before the uncrowned rulers of a free people, delivered the nations eulogy upon one of freedom´s martyrs, in a voice the sad cadence of which found a responsive echo in every clime and hamlet where the votaries of liberty dwelt. In the period intervening between these two events, the life and labors of Abraham Lincoln sent thundering down the ages a message to all the centuries yet to come. Gathered to-night, in the early morn of a new century, to celebrate the birthday of this martyr patriot, may we not, as citizens of the country he loved, as members of the great political party he founded, seek in his life for a correct understanding of his message to us? In the economy of nature there is neither waste nor accident. The product of to-day bears a logical relation to the forces of yesterday. In the great work of nation-building, where man reigns, the hand of God is ever visible in his labors. The mighty men who, in critical times have appeared to lead man upward and onward in his ever ceaseless march, are not the accidents of the day, but the product of the wisdom of the past. All time is operated by the immutable providences of eternity. Nations and men, in the grand procession which history marshals before us, came, flourished and disappeared as the result of a cause going before. Neither the American republic nor him who, at the meridian of its first century typified its basic principle, were the result of chance.
