nothing remo(e about the name and
fame of Lincoln. Ho Is close lo us
gnu growing closer. H^re. as every-
where. the observation of the da, in-
creases year t/y year.
The explanation q( this e»tjaqr
dlnarv fact is at oncy simple and satis-
factory. It Is that the American peo-
ple never appreciated Lincoln while
was alive. When he was ’ake^ away
from us wo began to see him as he
was. We are now beginning tq appre
elate him.
’ Many loved Lincoln devotedly while
he was alive. Others saw that ue was
a thoroughly good man But in general
even those who loved him and those
Who trusted him utterly failed tq
realize that lie wajs as great as hq was
good.
The failure pf Lincoln to win the ap-
preciation of those who haa every
Chance to judge him seems incredible
to us now. Nevertheless, one may haz-
ard a guess ao to the belittling power
of intimacy in nis case.
Never in the history of the world
a'as there a great man so entirely and
consistently his natural self. He was
homely and ungainly and poorly
dressed—and he knew it. and jqked
about it. He was entirely self-made—
and he was pot proud of the job. He
was ambitious—and frankly admitted
it. He was so medesf. so honest, and
so "easy” that not a tew thought he
must be simple-minded. He was easy
of access, and was the same tp every
one.
Traits like these are not eyidepcea
of genius in tbe mind ot the common
people, who prefer that thqir idols
shall pose. Stephen A. Douglas. L(p:
coin’s lifelong and successful rival un-
til the final test came, posed effective-
ly; therefore they knew he was great
and dubbed him tbe “Little Giant.”
Lincoln never posed, therefore it never
occurred to them that he coqld be
great.
To be sure, there wepe some who
came to appreciate Lincoln before his
death. There were a comparative few
who learned by experience that he was
“easy" onTy when it didn't matter, and
that, ins'ead of being simple minded,
lie was literally and absolutely a mas-
ter of'mep.'

Even Sjanton. that gaturnlne Titan
ol tne cabinet, who was in the habit of
re ferring to' Lincoln the "original
gc.illa/' who openly prophesied that
J< fl Davis would be In the White
House within £ix months, who believed
nimself called’Imq the cabinet for the
express purpose of holding up the
hands of an impotent presidem—eve*
.Stanton learned his leyson. It took
him a Jpng time, but he learned it well.
When Lincoln diew hi* last breatk
Stanton said: "There lies the moat
I»erfect ruler of Men the world baa
ever seep.”
But it was not untij the homely face
and ungainly figure ut Lincoln were
gone from the sizht. and his pointed
jeut was no longer heard, that the
American people began to see Lincoln
as he was, not as we hid assumeO him
to be And year by ye^r we are com-
ing to know him better.
We know nqw, among other thin<r*.
that this self made man from the log
cabin was truly an educated man: that
this backwoodj circqit rider was not
only an honest lawyer, bui a gr-.at law-
yer; that this past master of the art »f
story-telling used his art with a pur-
pose; that this cross-roads debater and
political stump speaker was an orator
to whom it was given to speak words
that are immortal—words that are as
much a part of the national heritage
as the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution.
We know now—npt some of u«, but
$.11 of us—that this m^n who saved the
union by force of arms and brought
peace out of the hell of civil war did
these great things tfl gn even greater
spirit; that he wrought "with ms'ic*
toward none, with charity for all."
And we know new thftt th:i man,
vyho was so human thai he did not
seeni to be great, was yet a lonely roul,
sei apart for a great work and awats
of his mission. The time may come
when we shall forget in part his "in-
finite Jest,” but never the .nflnlte sad- .
ness of his deep-lined face.
Providence raised i^p Abraham Lin-
coln. And we i^re just beginning t*
understand.
