BItAHAM LINCOLN In
childhood as In manhood
possessed a great heart of
love I have been told by
those who knew him ns a
child In LaRue county Ken-
tucky where he was born
that he never threw stones
at songbirds or at birds of
pretty plumage and that he
never failed to Intercede In behalf of
the dog thut was being kicked by Its
master says Rogers Gore picturing
the life of the martyred president as
a boy “Little Abe” as he was known
by his limited number of neighbors
nnd acquaintances was fond of dogs
Austin Golluher Lincoln’s playmate
who died at Ilodgenvllle In LaRue
county told me the Lincoln family had
more dogs than they could support
and that most of the dogs had fol-
lowed “Little Abe" home at various
times Lincoln's favorite dog was one
he found upon the roadside with a bro-
ken leg He carried the dog home In
Ills arms and set the broken limb “and
that dog" said Mr Gollaher “was the
best rabbit dog Abe ever had"
While trapping In those days was a
necessity young Lincoln disliked It be-
cause It caused suffering to God’s
creatures I learn this story from the
traditions In LaRue county Tom Lin-
coln Abrnhatn Lincoln’s father was
fond of trapping Besides finding much
sport in the vocatlou he provided meat
nnd furs for his family Ills traps
were scattered along the south fork of
Nolynn river and of course Ills son
Abraham knew Just where each trap
was located "Little Abe" believed It
an unpardonable sin to catcb too much
game and he frequently visited the
traps and liberated some of the game
before his father could make the
rounds
Austin
Gollaher related a story to
me about a visit he and Abe once made
to Tom Lincoln's traps when they
were caught In the act of liberating a
red fox from one of the snnres Tom
Lincoln came up Mr Gollaher said
just as Abraham was about to cut the
cord which was looped under the fore-
feet of the fox To avoid the whipping
Abe knew was forthcoming he nnd
young Gollaher made for tall timber
Mr Gollaher said that “Little Abe"
never was whipped when Mrs Lincoln
was present to make Intercessions
“And for that reason” said Mr Golla-
her “we endeavored to reach the Lin-
coln cabin In advance of Tom Lincoln
for the ordenl"
Undaunted When Lad In Woods
In taking an indirect route the boys
were lost in the woods “We spent
the entire day” said Mr Gollaher “In
trying to find the trail but to no avail
I gave up In despair but Abe neither
showed fear nor discouragement and
was persistent In his endeavors to find
a way out of our troubles Evening
was advancing too rapidly to suit me
and I was becoming thoroughly pnnlc-
strlcken but the strong heart of AJbrn-
hnm was apparently undaunted Abe
rebuked ine for my faint-heartedness
and said: 'Why we’ll sharpen a pole
and climb a tree and the wolves can-
not get us we can punch tliclr eyes
out when they rear up on the trunk
of the tree!’ But just os the last
streak of daylight was going out I
heard a voice and with all my might
I yelled : 'Here we are 1’ ‘Shut your
month' 6uid Abe That’s pa and he’ll
whip me’ Sure enough It was Tom
Lincoln but Mrs Lincoln was with
him and Abe did not get the whip-
ping” Lincoln's wit developed early In life
I have been told that when he was a
mere child his retorts blazed from his
droll tongue In a manner thut always
made the offender wince A mnn by
the nnme of Woodson once kicked
“Little Abe's" lame dog the dog re-
taliated by biting the fellow on tlie leg
Woodson then decided thnt the dog
should be killed and In the presence
of “Little Ahe" made known his decree
“My leg Is already swelling” said
Woodson “and I inn afraid It will have
to he cut off” “If Hint’s so" retorted
“Little Abe" “I'm sorry my dog did
not bite you on the head”
Autin Gollaher rescued Lincoln
from Knob creek a small river In the
vicinity of the Gollaher home Upon
this day Mrs Lincoln had paid a visit
to Mrs Gollaher and while the moth-
ers were at their knitting the little
sons went fishing In attempting to
cross a footing “Little Abe" fell Into
Old British Mints
Wales once had its own mint more
than one In fact— at Aberystwyth and
elsewhere The Isle of Man also
minted its own coinage epeclally cop-
per coins which were circulated In
large numbers In the early port of
the eighteenth century

“and pulled him to the bank That
was one time ‘Little Abe’ was scared"
continued Mr Gollaher “but he was
not too badly frightened to grin and
say: T hope I can do that much for
you some day Austin’ lie really want-
ed something to happen to me that he
might be placed In an attitude of hav-
ing saved my life ‘Little Abe’ was
full of gratitude and spent a lot of
his time trying to find some way to
help those who had been good to him
He often said to me thnt if he ever
found n gold mine there were just
three people he would take Into Ills
confidence one wns myself and the
other two were his mother and Mr
Ilodgen the miller I asked him
whether or not he would tell Ills fa-
ther and he said ‘No It would worry
pn because he wouldn’t want to dig’ "
Preacher Kept His Cap
An old woman gave Lincoln n cap
which she had made out of fox fur
“It wns bis Sunday cap" said Mr Gol-
laher “and Abraham was proud of It
A journeyman preacher passed through
the country one day nnd stopped nt the
Lincoln cabin ne decided to hold a
meeting In the neighborhood During
the series of revivals the preacher lest
his hat and Mrs Lincoln loaned ‘Little
Abe’s’ cap to the minister It was
never returned Abrnhnm nsked me
what I thought of the preacher and
I told him lhat I thought that the fel-
low was a rnscaL ‘Well Austin’ said
Abralinm 'you know mother lias been
telling us about the thief on the cross
wish the Jews would catch this
thief’ LIttIe Abe’ said that he would
always he good but that he would
never Join a church He never forgot
the preacher who stole the cap and he
frequently said to me that he never
wanted another Sunday cap— one at a
time was enough”
Tom Lincoln was of a roving dispo-
sition He was frequently away from
home for days at a time During Torn
Lincoln’s visits Into the wilderness
‘Tittle Ahe" was his mother’s only pro-
tection He never left his mother
while Tom Lincoln was nwny except
to visit his traps nnd Mrs Lincoln
often accompanied him on these er-
rands Austin Gollaher told me a
short time before he died that Tom
Lincoln owned two flintlock rifles one
of these guns he carried with him and
the other lie left at home “During
Tom Lincoln's absence on one occa-
sion" said Mr Gollaher "the lender In
tho larder in the Lincoln home became
bare There was a deep snow npon
the ground and since the neurest
neighbor of the Lincoln’s lived several
miles away it wns nppnrent to Mrs
Lincoln that she nnd Tittle Alin' must
find sonic game dose to the Lincoln
cabin or perish of hunger Mrs Lin-
coln was a courageous woman she
faced a conflict with as much deter-
mination as any woman In the world
Early one morning she told ‘Little Ahe’
of the true condition of the cabin
home and said to him ‘We must go
out today and try to find some game'
Abraham Insisted upon an enrly sfnrt
nnd he begged that he be permitted to
carry the rifle Mrs Lincoln consent-
'd end ihe two started out In the
forest In quest of food They had pro-
ceeded but a short distance when Abe

A quarter of p mile west of Ilodgen-
vllle there Is a cave with an entrance
In a cliff ' overlooking Nolynn river
There are few boys who ever lived In
Ilodgenvllle any length of time who 1
hove not explored this cave Abraham
Lincoln wbs no exception A number
of years ngo an old mnn by the nnme
of Brownfield told me that Lincoln
when a smull child wus lost In this par-1
tlcular cavern and that he spent the
entire night In the cave “He was
treed" said Mr Brownfield “by his i
faithful dog the next morning” From I
notes which I made at the time I am 1
enabled to relate the narrative In Mr j
Brownfield's own language or prac-!
tleally In his own language: “White j
Lincoln did Dot possess as adventur- j
ous a nature as seme boys” said Mr
Brownfield “he had Just enough of the
boyish curiosity In him to cause him
to attempt the hazardous task of find-
ing ‘hidden gold' in enves It was late
In the evening of early spring (I can-
not recall the year) thnt the neighbors
were notified that little Abe Lincoln
was lost that he had left home In the
afternoon to go to nodgens’ mill but I
that late In tho evening he had not re-
turned Tom Lincoln spread the news
telling all the neighbors that Tittle
Abe’s mnmma was beside herself she
being afraid thnt the Injuns hnd car-
ried her boy nway' The neighbors
gnthered at the home of Tom Lincoln
bringing with them torches of pine
knots The woods were scoured and
the hallooing kept up till daylight but
no trace of Tittle Abe' was found j
Again the searchers gathered at the
Lincoln cabin to consult with each
other as to the best course to pursue
but before any plan of search was
agreed upon Tittle Abe’ nnd his rabbit
dog came moseying up
l’oung Lincoln hnd left his sack of
corn at the mill and while waiting his
turn decided to stroll down the river 1
just to see how the “land lny” beyond i
the confines of Ilodgen’s mill He
found the cave hurriedly dreamed a
dream of hidden treasures and In he
went Implicitly believing that he
would come forth with on abundance
of gold He could neither find gold or
the exit of the cave Early In the
morning of the next day his faithful J
dog following the trail of ’Little j
Abe's’ footsteps ‘treed him’ and led
the way out of the hole In the ground ’

What Is Left Out
In Christ’s Re-
demptiveWork
By REV J H RALSTON D D
Secretary ol Correspondence Department
Moody Bible Institute Chicago
TEXT— For then must he often have
luffered since the foundation of the world
but now once In the end of the world hath
he appeared to put away sin by the sac-
rifice of himself And as It is appointed
unto men once to die but after this the
judgment: So Christ was once offered to
bear the sins of many and unto them
that look for him shall he appear the sec-
ond time without sin unto salvation— Heb
1:26-28
On the very face of these words we
see the three-fold picture of the work
of redemption by
Jesus Christ— his
Incarnation h 1 s
atonement and
his second coming
The lntter Is the
neglected element
In redemption
One of the easi-
est errors into
which man falls
Is the partial or
Imperfect presen-
tation of the work
of Jesus Christ
It Is true that
sometimes a pas-
sage of Scripture
will present but
one phase of that work but taking
the whole Word of God and dividing It
aright the full work of Jesus Christ Is
presented In this pussage that work
Is quite fully presented In the three-
fold picture given
The Incarnation
1 The Incarnation of Jesus Christ
Is clearly presented In the words “He
appeured to put away sin by the sacri-
fice of himself” The fact of that ap-
pearance no Christian denies Just
now the papers are full of war news
about Bethlehem where that appear-
ance was made Why did he appear?
Was It to give to the world the super-
man a sample of moral uprightness
to make possible the sacrificial life to
provide a victim of the opposition of
wicked men? Some say yes to all
this but' this passage says he came
“to put away sin by the sacrifice of
himself” There wns a purpose in his
appearing Elsewhere we are clearly
told that he came into the world “to
give his life a ransom for muny” From
our first notice of the consciousness
of Jesus as to the business on which
his father hath sent him to the lust 1
days of his life when his face was set
on going to Jerusalem to die for the
world that purpose was the distinct
and dominating principle of his life
2 In the words "once offered to
bear the sins of many” we have the
historical fuct of the death of Jesus
Christ Again It is most Interesting
to note thut the daily pupers are tell-
ing us of the taking of Jerusalem by
tho English the very location of the
sacrificial atonement In this offering
we have the fulfilment of the Old Tes-
tament picture of Jesus Christ as giv-
en by Isaiah In the fifty-third chap-
ter of his prophecies This wns tho
accomplishment of the purpose of his
Incarnation Then a fountain wus
opened for uncleanncss full provision
being made for the taking away of
the sin of the world
His Second Appearance
3 But the third part of the work
of Jesus Christ Is presented just as
distinctly as the other two in the
words “He shall appear the second
time without sin unto salvation” With
practical unanimity men are willing to
accept that Jesus Christ appeared at
Bethlehem about nineteen hundred
j’eurs ago that he grew Into matur-
ity and died us described in the Bible
but when an Intimation is given thut
he Is to appear on this earth a second
time there is Immediate skepticism
and sometimes virulent denlul But
here Is the statement as clear as it Is
possible to make it— “and shall appear
the second time” The first time he
came as a babe In an obscure place
and yielded himself to the opposition
of sinful men even to the sacrifice of
his own life The second time he
will appear without sin unto salvation
The first time he appeared with sin
being made sin for us that we might
be made the righteousness of God lu
him The second time he Is to appear
without sin unto salvation or we
might say unto the completion of sal-
vation L
We may conceive of the Son of God
looking on poor frail man to whom It
Is appointed to dio and then go to
judgment and 8nylng “I will give him
a complete salvation He will have
In my salvation something infinitely
beyond what this life can give In my
Second coming I will give him a com-
pleted salvation" It ls only then thut
the graves will open and the bodies
f those who have believed on him as
ii atoning Saviour will rise In perfect
power and honor and glory and the
living saints will be changed
The time of this second coming Is
not known but It Is the great event of
tbe future and signs are Increasing In
Dumber and significance that that
event Is not far distant and It might
be that In connection with the recov-
ery of Jerusalem where Jesus Christ
was incarnated where he died and
from where he ascended Into heaven
that be may come with his saints as
the glorious king the heir of the throne
of David and reign In righteousness
forever
