The Heart of Hope (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Heart of Hope Standing within this vast Temple of Liberty, and surveying the great characters that have made it enduring and sublime, we see one who rises high above all the rest - one who rises high above all the rest - one who, in meekness and humility, came upon the field of strenuous toil, fulfilled a mission almost beyond the measure of human power, and then departed, leaving a name loved and revered as none other since Freedom's History began. To-day every believer in the law of truth, and every lover of right and of righteousness throughout this broad land, bows in prayerful meditation, giving thanks unto God that he raised up Abraham Lincoln, and clothed him in raiments of power, that he might stand at the helm of our Ship Of State while the tempests were beating and threatening to engulf, and that he was spared until the storms were stilled - until the righting ship-rode the resting waves, no longer menaced by the destroying hand of hostile hosts. And patriotism does well to lift its voice in commemorating the humble life, the unselfish deeds, and the steadfast devotion of the one man of his generation, the grandeur of whose might and the majesty of whose wisdom enabled him to rise above the tides of discord, of passions and partisan strife, to bring order out of chaos, and to exercise that far-seeing judgment which came as from a super-human mind.
