Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lincoln and the Newspapers We gather to think of the living Lincoln, for he lives today in the hearts of the people as no other purely human character. The things that are seen are temporal. The things that are unseen are eternal. The spirit of Lincoln is a binding factor in our national fabric; nor is it confined to our national domain. His spirit is a benefaction, ordered of God, to humanity everywhere, and for all time. On October 6, this year, at Manchester, Vt., on the railway station platform was an old man. The train carrying Lloyd George no sooner came to a stop than the distinguished visitor, bareheaded and eager as a boy, strode forward to grasp the hand of Robert T. Lincoln, son of the Emancipator. That was the most interesting and thrilling moment in the American tour of the great Britisher. "Come," said the World War Premier to his wife and daughter, as he presented them to Mr. Lincoln, - "this is Abraham Lincoln´s son. You two know how I worship his father." Later he said to the newspaper correspondents: "I am thrilled with meeting the son of Abraham Lincoln. There is no man in all the history of the world that I place higher than Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had to endure the burden of a Civil War for something like five years. The World War lasted about that long. But Lincoln´s lot was immeasurably harder than was that of the statesmen entrusted with the conduct of the World War. That was a war with foreign nations. A Civil War is much more wearing. You are killing your own people. As I look at the picture of Lincoln I can glimpse the shadows of sorrow deepening on his wonderful face as the great struggle lengthened into years." When the spirit flags with present-day evidences of artificialities, faith is reinvigorated with the sure possession of the genuine.
