The president spoke in part as fol-. lows “No human story surpasses the fas cination and the inspiration of that of Abraham Lincoln. The republic pays tribute, and most of the world is doing him reverence, because in Ills unshaken faith the world finds its own hopes mightily strengthened. ‘.‘It does not seem hard to under stand why in times like these -in which we live there should be su'ch a renas cence of sentiment for Lincoln, of re newed interest in the great lessons of his life. For men have come to think of him as they have not thought of others among the merely human char acters of history.
