Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Speaker Cannon said: Mr. Toastmaster, Mr. President: It is now 20 minutes of 11 o´clock. I am not going to apologize to this virile audience, young men all: and if there are any who have had their threescore and ten years I can not sit them out. So, if I talk thirty minutes, and talk too long, signify it. [Laughter.] It has been said that I had the honor of a personal acquaintance with Lincoln. Yes; and yet I can tell you but little that is new touching Abraham Lincoln. The survivors of the twenty-two hundred thousand men who in the hell of the four years great contest followed him through evil and through good report know of his magnificent leadership. It is not necessary that I should say anything to them about Lincoln personally. "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" was the question asked almost two thousand years ago; and they said, "Come and see." The Master came out of Nazareth. The world received Him: the world crucified Him upon the cruel cross. He had His followers. That great character, with His philosophy and His great, kind, human, and divine heart, felt that He could afford to wait, and yet how He would have gotten along without St. Paul, I do not know, nor can any man tell. St. Paul broke away from the Jews, broke away from their prejudices. His love for his Master made him carry the teachings of the Master not only to Jews, but to Gentiles, and in the most prosperous portions of the earth we have the theology, the philosophy, the teachings of the Master represented in our Christian civilization. He was of humble origin. Matthew traced back his ancestry to Abraham, but he was of humble origin, born in a manger. Abraham Lincoln, human, of humble but, honorable parentage, horn of forbears humble but honorable, who in Massachusetts, in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, in Virginia, across the mountains to the "dark and bloody ground," contributed their mite amongst the other pioneers to the founding and the preservation of Commonwealths. In the humble cabin in which he was horn no man could have prophesied without derision as to how he should lead the American people.
