These words were quoted almost ver
batim from memory.
The tremendous impression produced
by Henry (Jrady's speech was not due
to the fact that he was saying some
thing that no other man had said be
fore, but to tin* fact that, for the first
time since the civil war, the great lend
ers of the north realized that Lincoln
was appreciated and honored as much
sonth of Mason and Dixon’s line as he
was among Ihe Michigan pines and
upon th(‘ Illinois prairie.
Second to Onl?- One.
Since that time I have read almost
every biography written about the per
sonality of that man who stands sec
ond to only one, if he does not stand
side by side with (Jeorge Washington,
in the affections of the American peo
/ ple. 1 find that Henry Wattcrson of
'^Kentucky lias as deep a reverence for
Lincoln as had Hilaries W. Dana or
Nicolay or Joseph Mcdill or William
Herndon or David Davis or Sxvett or
Speed, who knew him by personal con
tact. Therefore 1 am sure that on this
Sunday preceding the celebration of
Lincoln's birthday 1 shall have with
me the cordial approbation of the south
as well as of the north as I draw from
hi? character lessons of inspiration and
>>ay tribute to his meuiory. At heart
he was a true-friend of the south, and
I believe that his untimely death re
tarded the consummation of reconstruc
tion at least a quarter of a century.
Most Uncoln eulogists start, as Hen
ry Wattcrson beautifully expressed
it, by looking into a “crystal globe
that, slowly turning, tolls the story of
his life, and they see therein a little
heartbroken hoy weeping by tin* out
stretched form of a dead mother.” But
this I do not intend to do. You are al
ready familiar with the facts of that
eventful life. In speaking of him today
I would try to get the keynote of his
character and show the predominant
quality which made him so great and
so useful to the nation. That quality 1
conceive to he his patience, and I shall
x recall to your minds the times and the
circumstances in which, by the exercise
, of that quality, hi' proved the grandeur
of his nature. At the base of the gi

this great man. we see the figure of
sanctified Patience. We find this fig
ure not cut from stone or east in iron,
but made out of dust which was unco
living, breathing, throbbing, moving
floeh and blood. As the paramount de
sire of Lincoln's last four years on
earth and those tumultuous years which
led up to them was to save the Union,
I shall try in this brief eulogy to show
how, by glorious patience, that great
purpose of Ids life was accomplished.
A I’oitlttve Man.
In the first place, we must start with
the well accepted and universally uc- j
knowledged fact that Abraham Lincoln ;
was a man of imsitlve characteristics.
William Herndon just after Lincoln's
nomination wrote to Senator Wilson
of Masachusetts that when Lincoln
made up his mind to do anything he
had “a will of iron.” After the assas
sination in Ford's theater Senator Wil
son wrote a letter to Lincoln’s old law
partner that he had truly ana lysed
Lincoln’s character In reference to tide
one characteristic. But, though Lin
coln was a positive man and had well
settled convictions, he never believed
that “two wrongs make one right.” in
order to accomplish his patriotic pur
poses he was unwilling to defile the
majesty of the law. He was always
ready to try to change the law, but
never to break it. In his methods and
principles lie was neither violent nor
revolutionary, flc was not. as many
p'*o*>h* supposed in 1 Stk*. n wild eyed

On the approaching anniversary uf
this great American's birth let us learn
one of the greatest lessons of his life.
Even amid the injustices and tin* weak
nesses of the law let ns how before and
recognize tit** majesty of tho law. Be-
eause in some niunicipalities tho citi
zens may be terrorized every winter
by "holdup" men who walk around at
night shooting down innocent pedes
trians in cold Mood, that is no reason
why, in order to extirpate them, we
ourselves should become criminals. Be
cause Alexander of Servia was ;t bad
niau, that does not place the stamp of
respectability upon those who, by regi
eide, proved they were as lawless as
their d( tested king. Always obey the
law. If it be wrong, then make the
law right, but never defile the majesty
of tho law.
