Today we are giving part of our lessen to th* celebration of the birthday of Araham Lincoln, the great iVoeideat and ohamplen of freedom* He said in his Cettysburg addreee, -that thie 'nation under (Jod shall have & new birth of freed cm and that government of the people, by the people, for the people cannot parish from the earth.

we have, arranged by i raftscor Franghissr today, a apaeial muaieal pimgram, and Lam-al l Also h*s fcamd a fam iters that aonnact vbrahan Unoeln to the Unity thought, and he ia going to read them before the quartet singe* Addreaaing Lowells You read the ex-tract! th t mill corroborate mhat 2 have eaid, Lemoilt (Laughter) L0wia*v VILIJJD :

These are just some af iho eayinga of Abraham Lincoln* You ore a l l familiar with them 1 presume* They were gathered up by some of whs markers hare to help me* 2 seuld not find time of myself. But i t shews the wonderful outlook that Lincoln had toward l i fe and toward people.

"2 em not bound to win, but 2 am bound to be true*** *2 am not bound to succeed, but 2 am bound to l i f e up to mhat l i f e 2 ! iv«,"

"2 must stand with anybody th i a tends right, stand with him while he stares right ana part company with him when he gees wrong***

**I desire ee to conduct the affairs of thia administration that if, on and whan 2 town to lay down the reigns of power, 2 have lest everyone's friendship on earth, 1 shall at least have ens friend lef t , and that frimd shall be down inside of mo.*

** 2 have been driven many times to sqr knees by the overwhelming oonviction th t 2 had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that at a l l about as seemed insufficient for the dayS

Here i s a humorous ones "He reminds me of the nmn mho murdered both hie parents and when his awn tone e was avout te be pronounced, pleaded for meroy on the ground he was en erphanl"

(Laughter). II© sen compress the meat words into the smallest ideas of any man I know ef. (I

dHaRLSS riliiffia : L E a S O N (And PR XBlBJAirf LINCOLN A IICOOIH) An I listened to the extracts Lewell read"about Lincoln, I discovered th t 1 had a

few 2 would l ike to c a l l your attention to, because Lincoln carried out some of the ideas that we aye cu l t iv ting and demonstrated them to be \fell worthy of attention f t least* And he gaves us some points that right now we eould apply* M t a j the most strenuous psriod of our great J iv i l er , ho insisted upon te l l ing soao of his vory fenil iar and common jokss and everyone in his Cabinet meetings , we are told, when -they were earieid-ering matters of tremendous importance, right in the midst of them, he would t e l l a joke and some of his Jabinet were so disgusted • bt&nton, we are told, one evening was dis-cussing a matter of grave importance* Lincoln in the midst of i t told one of hie foolish l i t t l e jokes* Canton got 04* and lo f t the discussion. Lincoln explained te l l ing these stories relieved him of the great burden th? t was upon him. >o 1 think that th t i s some-thing we eeuld imitate when we feel great s tress of eireumstanees and everybody i s moaning and crying. Jon't cry and don't moan. Think of something happy* Think of something that relieves them* Net l ike btanton*

1 think we have called your attention before to the hard side which pol i t ica l lead-ers take* 1 don't think Roosevelt i s so much that wee/, but Churchill i s , because he wants us to think of "blood and sweat and tears." we don't think along those l ines because they arc depressing, do I l ike to follow Abraham Lincoln . . . (pausing) 1 think that has been read* This ia something else* This one 1 didn't find the exact authority for, but I remember reading once that during a ballo n ascension—2 don't know but what 2 told you this one before* Tou wi l l excuse me i f 1 change i t a l i t t l e , because 1 don't want to t e l l i t just the seme every time* The main points are true* I t was a balloon ascension in hew Orleans* Lincoln said i t reminded him of.•courtesy*..the ;r " t e s t i l lustration of courtesy he ever heard of* This was the courtesy of an old colored man* It seems at the balloon ascension a clown went up in the balloon and floated up in the oountry and landed in a cotton field* The colored people seeing the basket coming down got along* But the old colored man had rheuwatism and couldn't run with the balance of the colored people whs ran to the woods, but this old colored man stood his ground* hen the clown stepped out ef the basket in spangles am t ights , th© old colored man doffed his hat and said, "Sood liawnin*, Laatah Jesus* low's yore Pawl" (Laughter)

Here's another that I got out of this book on Lincoln* Senator Sumner of Massachu-set ts called at the 'hits lease early one morning* He was told that President Lincoln was downstairs. ?te thought he would go right down and see him* He went down and found the rresident polishing his shoes* >eraewtiat suouued and amased, senator huemer said, "why, Mr* President, do you black your own bootst" With a vigorous rub of the brush the president replied, "Whose boots do you think 2 black J * he told this incident to Senator Henderson who when he heard i t made a memorandum of i t too* An item on Lincoln in Henderson's beak was! "He said the only achooliag he ever had was in a leg school house when reading beaks and grammars were unknown so they read part of the time from the heriptures there when a l l stood up in a long l ine and reed the lesson* One day they re I tr<m the story of the 2 hi Wren of Israel in the fiery furnace* ' I t f e l l to one l i t t l e fellow to read the verse in which the names dhedraoh, Msehseh and abednego occurred* The l i t t l e bud at ramered end passed 'hhadrach', floundered en 'lieshaeh' and went a l l to pieces on'iUhednego'. Instantly the heaexmeter dealt him a cut en the side of the head, and l e f t him floundering and wail-ing as the next bey took up the reading* But before the g i r l at the end ef the l ine Had time to read he had subsided into a sn i f f le and f inal ly beeame quiet* His blunders and diegraee were forgotten by the other members of the c lues , unti l h i s turn was approaching to read again* Then l ike a thunderclap out of a i laar sky, he set up a well and howl and even the headmaster who was astounded, said with unusual gentleness, '!*b*.t i s the matter new, Bud?* Pointing with shaking finger to the verse which a few moments later would fa l l to hira to read, he quavered, "Look there, Master! There eearns them damn three fe l lers again!" I read about those three fe l l ers and could appreciate i t , but that l i t t l e fellow oouldn'T". (Laughter)*

Now, we want to go back to our lesson again* In the c lass today are those who are working for credits and 2 would like to c a l l your attention to the points in the lesson because you i l l have to reraeuber them, and not raraeiaber a l l these Jokes.

I am going to read those verses again!'..When thou rankest a dinue \ or a suppsr,oail not they friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; l e s t Haply they aiso bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee* But when thou rankest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind! and thou shalt be blessed; because they have net wherewith to recompense theei for thou ehalt be recompensed in th* resurrection of the Just* ..and Blessed i s hs that ehaU eat bread in the kingdom ef 3ed."

•4 -Wow o.'lrltually the •dinKer1 or •feast* repro -ante the appropriation by men and hie

friends, or his •faculties* —your nearest friend i s your faculty, spiritually Interpreted— and these are to be invited by you to appropriate this invisible substance** and thrt in-visible substance i f you appropriate i t in the right way will recompense you*

900 the tspeeteaoy of reward for everything one does ie the bene of hujaan servioe. Mai wa work for the lave of the work and no thought of the eojsponsation, we shall work divinely*

Mow with most art le t s;t pelntera and sculptors this i s in a mature ippreoiated and ap-plied. There are raany instances whew the artist so loved his creations he refused to part with them, although he might bo in dire want*

How instead of looking to Jed tw their imeampensa, for their reward* tho human family nave beon tanght to look to the material side and the first question when one i s offered a job or anything that pertains to work and finance i s , "Hew mush i s there in i t fer as!'*..* looking to the reward*

How i f we would a l l on tar Into this eonseiousnoss of the Kingdom of hod where the rowan i s always pressing toward us. It would solve a l l the problems of l i fe* And wo would have abuwdmnoe and we wouldnH have to work as we do now* 1 think i t i s fuiskin who said •ovary man was borh with his work or his work was born with him** How that i s a spiritual truththat i s , rhon occupied, the thing you son do bsst i s within your own soul, your own sttbnonsoious* :/eli, in psychology* you know business firms are applying that in hiring thai employees to try to find out what the bant of tho applicant i s and i f i t i s in line with their work* or they earn sea a tandonsy in that dirootian, -they take Him* Ao you tan eae wo have within no en ability to do a certain work and i f that were brought out—and two way to bring i t out i s not to look at outside tilings so tmh, but believe in that which, as Lincoln said, goes on within us, within aurselvas. Amd. wa dawer th»t up to a certain point, for our lesson calls attention again and again to this certain fact that we mnet raise up these many leeks, the las*, the blind, the he It* he poor* they mnet be provided for* ho ia going to provide far them! *e> have to do i t . * t f irst glenoe thin proposition aaema ridiculous, but tho productive ability ef the human family i s ao great* i f wa al l work and through our minds ami mmohities which we can invent, we could produce mors than viia needs of the people*

Thin i s brought out in that—well— imaginary product called the T»hep in ffeavan.-* 1 think i t i s by Johnson* Ho says -this shop in He yen was open to every inhabitant of leaven and that you to old have anything without cost. You need i t go take it* 'verybody was Free* ing upon them{those who iwAnufas tured pressed upon the customers to take i t . Instead of ask-ing a price they had to give i t because they had ee much to give —they had produced more than they needed* and preetied upon people to take it* The story goea, a customer from earth erepi'wd in and they told him he could have anything he wanted. He began to load up right and lef t . Iverybody in the shop, customers and all the employees fe l l right out and be-fan to prey* % was surprised because aa he listened they were praying for hie greed,t*. he might be released from that greed ha had brought from earth* "ell he began to put things bask* so thsy a l l l e t up end began to sing psalms.

This Is an imaginary illustration of what would take place :n the warth if wo await all cultivrte this inner I-ind of Spirit which small provide for us so abundantly that wa would never need to ask for anything—it would al l ad ours* How than* aa we gat the lesson we take up the different points given here in detail*

The firet, of course, i s those who are ire umbered with, 1 might say, with a sense ef insufficiency. Thsy lack, thsy are poor* Jesus said, Tho poor you have with you always.* Isn't that true! Ivy i s i t we h-ve the poor with us! You look at the wetl attitude of our people, 'hey are gpmaping things* 'hey are storing up* They are laying up for a high-er price compensation. How we will always have th« ear until we get rid of that idem of greed and eelfinhneen* ihat*s the foundation of th»t! t« think we are poor* we H ve got t get these thinga to l ive , beoauae i f we don't there will be a time when wa will want!
