ton Centre, the speaker of the even- 
ing, wag unable to reach Manches-

the disappointment to those who ex- 
pected to hear him again. But not- 
withstanding this, the evening prov- 
ed one of much pleasure, for Rev. 
A. G. Warner gave an informal tatk 
on the making of government post 
cards, and Charles C. Dodge gave a 
very interesting talk on his vacation 
trip to Maine last summer. The 
usual collation was served by a vol- 
unteer committee.

Union Memorrat LINCOLN SERVICE. 
At the Baptist church Sunday 
night a union memorial Lincoln ser- 
vice was held under the auspices of 
the local patriotic societies. The aud- 
itorium was filled to overflowing. 
‘Music appropriate to the occasion 
was rendered. Rev. A. G. Warner 
preached on “The Nation’s Finest 
Product,” in which he said, among 
other things, ‘The nation’s finest 
product is her men. America claims 
attention because of what she is do- 
ing for the youth of her land, what 
she is doing for the stranger that 
comes to her hospitable doors, and 
what she is accomplishing in the 
fight against ignorance, injustice and 
poverty; and for her position as 
leader in the new movement for 
world unity and international peace, 
and the men she produces. A na- 
tion ‘that can produce a George 
Washington and an Abraham Lin- 
coln need never be ashamed of her 
place among the nations. Lincoln’s 
splendid powers were given unself- 
ishly and unstintingly for the ser- 
vice of humanity. Simple honesty, 
justice and reverence characterized 
his life. He was controlled by the 
Christian rule of doing right. He 
proclaimed the gospel of health. 
“Do not worry, eat three square 
meals a day, say your prayers, be 
courteous to your creditors, keep 
your digestion good, exercise, go 
slow and go easy; these things I 
reckon will give you a good lift to- 
ward happiness.’ 
‘Tincoln was just, sincere and 
courageous. Like one who heard the 
voice of the all-wise God he acted 
and spoke; by his life and death; he 
gave to one race liberty, to another 
freedom; the perpetuity of our gov- 
ernment is assured. He maintain- 
‘ed his noble characteristics to the 
dast. No selfish motive or narrow 
-personal pride can be charged against 
him. No stain or dishonor can be 
found in all the eventful years of 
his life. We point with pride to him. 
He is the product of our republic, 
he is an illustration of Christian 
manhood under a government ‘of 
the people, by the people and for the 
people.’ ”
