      DO YOU EVER DOUBT GOD? Wonder if any of this belief system you’ve structured your life around is even real? I do. The poet Christian Wiman said of his faith that sometimes he goes to bed a Christian and wakes up an atheist. I relate to that. I wish I

      CONTENTS

      LINCOLN THE MAN

      Thou, too, sail on O Ship of State!

      Sail on, O Union, strong and great!

      Humanity with all its fears,

      With all its hopes of future years,

      Is hanging breathless on thy fate!

      We know what Master laid thy keel,

      What Workman wrought thy ribs of steel,

      Who made each mast and sail and rope,

      What anvils rang, what hammers beat,

      In what a forge and what a heat

      Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!

      Fear not each sudden sound and shock:

      'Tis the wave, and not the rock,

      'Tis but the flapping of the sail,

      And not a rent made by the gale!

      In spite of rock and tempest's roar,

      In spite of false lights on the shore,

      Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!

      Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,

      Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,

      Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,

      Are all with thee—are all with thee!

      Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

      LINCOLN THE MAN

      The name of Abraham Lincoln is imperishable, immortal; can never fade from the pages of history or grow dim with the lapse of time.

      Had this lowly born Kentucky boy been ushered into the world centuries ago in England, doubtless he would have become the father of a royal family, the founder of a kingly dynasty, the pioneer of a courtly line whose proudest boast would be to acclaim him their progenitor.

      Fortunately he belongs to modern time and sprang from the loins of a democratic race in a young and democratic country, around whose virgin brow he twined the garlands of a never-fading luster.

      His fame is America's, but his glory belongs to the world, and humanity is proud to honor him as one of the noblest among the sons of men.

      He founded no royal house to perpetuate his name on its escutcheon, yet no Caliph or Conqueror, no Emperor or Excellency, no Master or Monarch, no Prince or Potentate, no Prelate or Pontiff, no Saladin or Sultan has left behind a name so dear to the hearts of posterity as that of this plain man of the people, this champion of human rights, this friend of the down-trodden and oppressed, whose heart went out in sympathy and love to all mankind, irrespective of race or religion.

      No character in American history or, perhaps, in the world's history stands out so clearly silhouetted against the background of time as Lincoln; none so free from defect or flaw, with no irregularities to mar its outlines, no inequalities to detract from its perfect formation; its every curve and section a symmetry of proportion.

      Born, February 12, 1809, as lowly as Jesus of Nazareth, in a one-room, shackling Kentucky cabin, the child of a poverty-stricken man, whom misfortune had
