worry, hardship and turmoil. He 
was a lover of peace and an early ad- 
vyocate of international arbitration, 
- yet was forced into the exigencies of 
war. The second, a man of such 
broad sympathies that nothing human 
‘was foreign to him; a man like the 
One he strove to follow, a man of 
_ sorrows and burdened with grief and 
the sufferings of his people, pursuing 
-a calm and quiet way through such 
national agonies as few nations have 
ever known. A man, American to 
the core, a product impossible in any 
other land. He was simple, childlike, 
beloved by all and yet wise, sagacious 
and great in capacity of leadership in 
terrible crises. 
 “Tincoln’s faith did not come to 
him by reasoning, but in the stress 
and strain of life. He laid hold of 
certain great truths with the grip of 
nature. 
With his whole nature stretched to its 
highest tension he could not avoid 
conviction. Lincoln rang true, al- 
ways and everywhere. He conquered 
by the power of truth. The one rule 
of his life was the rule of doing 
right.” 
Mr. Warner referred to the pledge 
that Lincoln made to issue the Eman- 
cipation Proclamation if Lee’s army 
was turned back from Pennsylvania, 
and his fulfilment of it. : 
“Tincoln was the worthiest offer- 
ing of our nation for the sake of 
freedom, justice and humanity. He 
died for the cause of the people and 
by his death he gave one race liberty 
and another freedom. He made pos- 
sible for us the conditions under 
which the population of potentia! 
men and women could thrive, where 
all industries-could be followed, all 
culture bloom, all divine faith have a 
good hold and all heroism and mili- 
tancies spring forth. He is an illus- 
tration of supreme Christian man- 
hood under a government of, for and 
by the people.” 
Following Mr. Warner’s address 
Foster delivered Lincoln’s 
“Gettysburg” address and E. P. Stan- 
ley read a poem, “America for Me.” 
All gave the pledge of allegiance to 
the flag and joined in singing “Amer-

ica. 
“Did it ever occur to you that lots 
of people don’t know any better than 
to take Trouble by the forelock and 
Opportunity by the tail?” 
You can fool some of the people 
al the time, and all the people some 
of the time, but you can’t fool all the 
people all of the time—Abraham 
Lincoln.

ANTI-TRESPASSING CAMPAIGN. 
The New York, New Haven and 
Hartford Railroad Company has just 
issued the third of a series of nine 
bulletins warning people of the dan- 
ger of trespassing on the railroad 
tracks. 20,000 copies of each bulletin, 
180000 in all, are being distributed 
in factories, schools, stations, freight 
houses, cabooses, crossing cabins, sec- 
tion houses, work trains, shops, car 
inspection cabins, interlocking towers, 
telegraph poles, and all conspicuous 
places along the lines of the railroad. 
The text of the latest bulletin is as 
follows: 
In the last three years 442 persons, 
who ventured without authority on 
the tracks and property of the New 
York, New Haven and Hartford 
Railroad, were killed and 394 injured. 
These lives were lost because these 
persons needlessly exposed them- 
selves to the danger of death or in- 
jury by making use of railroad

tracks and right of way as a public 
highway. 
When you use the railroads tracks 
and right of way as a highway to 
save time or trouble, you are putting 
your life in deadly peril. In the year 
1914 a total of 5,471 lives were lost in 
this manner on the railroads of the 
United States. 
You would not willingly expose 
yourself to disease. Why expose 
yourself to a peril as great? 
Friend—I am afraid your husband 
has a-very bad cold; he’s continually 
sreezing. It’s quite painful to hear . 
him. Why don’t you ask a doctor to 
see him? 
Matron—Well, I’m waiting just a 
few days because it amuses baby so 
to see his father sneeze.—Life.
