Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln His Last Resting Place: A Leaflet Published for Distribution at the National Lincoln Monument in the City of Springfield, Illinois The chosen of God Mas slain in his high places. Our Moses who has led us through these four wilderness years, has been summoned of God, and now the whole nation stands in tearful agony around the mount whither his feet have gone up. Our joy and our sorrow stand side by side in the great book of God. The cloud of incense all radiant with light, had a fringe of sackcloth. It was a dark morning that saw our President die. The heavens were weeping. The sun bid himself in shadows, and the angel who bore his great spirit aloft was muffled in clouds. Fit emblem of those mightier shadows which rested upon our hearts. Strong type of those holier tears which were shed by a loving and noble people. The people´s President and friend is dead, and it is proper in the calm light of this holy Sabbath that we call to mind the lessons of his life and death. Mr. Lincoln was most heartily a man of the people. Educated not in lordly halls, surrounded not with wealth and refinement Taken from the circle of no hereditary greatness, he was cradled in the bosom of poverty. He was trained in the rough school of adversity. His hands were made to work - his mind was made to think. He had just that elementary training necessary to fit him to be a guide in our night of danger. In those master struggles with poverty, his mind was prepared to lead the destinies of a struggling nation. Adversity is the school of greatness. Great minds are rocked in the hammock of the storms. The leaders of grand developments need this strong preparation. It is the school of God. Contending in youth with obstacles, ribs the heart with oak. All successful leaders of revolutions have been thus educated. Moses, God´s chosen, must go into the wilderness for many years, to get the necessary discipline to withstand the trials before him. Christ was born in the manger - he wandered on the mountains, that he might go in joy to his triumphant death. God prepares His own leaders. He commissions His own Captains. Angels of God stand around the cradle of those men whose feet are to bring good tidings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
