Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Address Delivered on Lincoln Day, 1907 in Memorial Hall Chicago It has been the custom of the Grand Army Hall and Memorial Association on the 12th day of February in each year to observe with fitting ceremonies the birthday of Abraham Lincoln the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States during the rebellion period. On these occasions it has been usual to invite a distinguished and patriotic citizen to deliver the address. At the Lincoln day celebration for the year 1907, the Reverend Charles Joseph Little, President of the Garrett Biblical Institute at Evanston, Illinois, was invited to deliver an address upon Abraham Lincoln, which was enjoyed by a very large and distinguished audience. Upon the cessation of the hearty applause following the address, a motion was made and unanimously carried by a standing vote requesting the Association to publish and distribute copies of the address. The board of directors of the Association then sent a letter to Dr. Little, the speaker, as follows: Chicago, February 22, 1907. Rev. Charles Joseph Little, Evanston, Illinois. Dear Sir: The undersigned, members of the Grand Army Hall and Memorial Association, and their friends, were more than delighted with the address you delivered on Lincoln Day at Memorial Hall, and we take this occasion to express to you our most sincere thanks therefor The subject was so forcefully and beautifully treated in your address, that we feel it should have a wider hearing and influence than with the audience who were so fortunate as to listen to you on that occasion. We therefore respectfully request that you furnish us a copy of the address for publication and distribution, pursuant to the resolution unanimously adopted by the audience when you had finished speaking.
