ARAGO TUMBER CO., EMPIR.E, OREGON "Experience Counts"

"The color of the ground was in him; the red earth, the smack and tang of elemental things, sprung from the West. He drank the valorous youth of a new world, the strength of virgin forests braced his mind, the hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul, and his thoughts were roots that firmly gripped the granite truth"'

-Edwin Markham on Lincoln.

"As a nation of free -; ;. i.,st ti.re through all time, or die by suicide."-Lincoln.***

Lincoln is immortal chiefy because, having been clothed with almost absolute power, he never abused it except on the side of mercy.

't**

It was said of Lincoln: "Blessed is that man, and beloved o,f all the gods, who is afraid of no man, and of whom no man is afraid."

Lincotn said of w"rr,i'ioi, llr, ,ol.r'n awe pronounce his name, and in its naked deathless splendor, leave it shining on."

,iri* once he was makin* "*.r.1, i*p"ra"n, political speech. It was in his first race for Congress, and he was talking strongly. He was interrupted by a voice from the audience, calling, "Howdy Abe." rt was like interrupti"J;"* in the midst of an aria. Yet Lincoln stopped, and looked into the audience for the caller, and saw an old man, a backwoodsman he had known long before. ***

The brightest star in the firmament of human virtues is kindliness. In this, Lincoln surpassed all other men. Thus he is immortal. In him there was no ego, no vanity.

No humbler person could have been found. But Lincoln smiled at the old man, and answered, "FIow are you, Uncle Jimmy?" Then he continued his speech, only to be interrupted again a minute or so later by the same man.

The old man said, "Ab:, i rJro, to ask you; how are Mary and the babies?" Again Lincoln stopped his oration, and without the slightest show of annoyance.

He replied in kindly ,Jrntlr,,**nile smiling at the old man, "All well when I left them in Springfield yesterday, Uncle Jimmy; all very well, thank you, my friend." Then he went ahead and finishcd hia speech. ***

Was tfierc ever an incidcnt that more clcarly illustrated the immeasurable benevolence of Lincoln, than that one. Compare that with the character of gome of our leaders of recent years, and gee how great Lincoln really was. Great in the ways of true greatness.

Couldn't pass this time of Lincoln's birthday, without telling that story of the great man. How many characters do you recall in all the history of mankind, who could be safely compared with Lincoln?

Wise men never claim to be wise. They claim only to be seekers after wisdom.

Virgil said, "Happy the man who has learned the causes of things, and has put from under his feet all fears, and the noisy strife of the hell of greed."

Seneca said, "rf ,,rr", yJ., ,l"rrl ,."-, insufrcient to you, then, though you possess the world, you will yet be miserable." ***

Will Durant said, "Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn."

Socrates said to Cri,o, 'LJnJ rnina whether the teachers of philosophy are good or bad, but think only of philosophy herself."

Emerson said, "In .*,.rj*ln itr.r" i. something wherein I may learn of him, and in that I am his pupil."

Socrates said, "The hiJ..lnlo*t.ag. is the knowledge of good and evil; the knowledge of the wisdom of life."

Francis Bacon ""ia, "J".tl yJ nr"a the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied, or its loss will not be felt."

* ,< >k

Cicero said, "There is nothing so absurd that it may not be found in the books of the philosophers."

***

But Thoreau insists that "a philosopher is one who loves wisdom and so loves a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust."
