LINCOLN’S BIRTHDAY 
INSPIRING ADDRESS TO SONS OF VET- 
ERANS AND GUESTS BY REV. 
A. G. WARNER. 
Although the gathering was small 
the enthusiasm ran high at the obser- 
vance of Lincoln’s birthday in G. A. 
R. hall on Monday evening under the 
auspices of Col. H. P. Woodbury 
cainp,/5.,of V. ~The feature of the 
evening was an address on Lincoln | 
by Rev. A. G. Warner. Members ot 
Allen post, G. A. R., and Allen Re- — 
lief corps were in attendance. 
The observance was opened with — 
vemarks by the commander of the — 
Charles FE. Bell. Allen S. 
camp, 
Peabody read Governor McCall’s | 
Lincoln Day proclamation. — Mr. 
Warner’s address followed. 
in part: 
He said | 
“In response to the patriotic and — 
truly American call of his excellency, 
our worthy governor, and indicative — 
of the warm patriotism that throbs in 
our own breasts as we realize that we © 
are the heirs of all the ages in the © 
foremost files of time, we gather to- 
night to do honor to the memory of 
him, who was called the ‘first Ameri- 
can,’ our honored martyed president, 
Abraham Lincoln.  Earnestly, pa- 
tiently, faithfully, he wrought for the 
largest interests of humanity. . We 
do well at this crisis in our nation’s 
history to recall the men and heroes 
of other days and reflect upon their 
deeds of valor as they stood unwav- 
ering and unflinching amid the scenes 
that tried the souls of men. 
“The finest product of any nation 
is her men. This special observance 
forces this fact upon us with over- 
whelming energy. When we are 
asked what 
claim attention we do not refer to her 
agricultural statistics, nor her mineral 
resources, nor her industrial achieve- — 
But we show what she is do- — 
ments. 
ing for her youth in schools and col- 
leges, what she is doing for the mil- 
lion strangers she welcomes .through 
her hospitable doors, making this 
land the best home on earth for mil- 
lions of mankind. Here we allow 
mankind of all the earth to assemble. 
Here we house them; here we feed 
them; here we allow them, the vote 
and give them equality under the law. 
They may have their own religion; 
they may keep up their old country 
innocent customs. This is a most 
free kind of country and they are be- — 
ginning to find it out. What other 
country can produce a George Wash- 
ington or an Abraham Lincoln. The 
first, high minded, clear visioned, de- 
spising meanness, with a fixed and — 
immovable sense of duty giving up 
his quiet lift for a life of increasing —
