Richof the Winnetka Congregational It took as his topic "The Un. ' ism of Lincoln." "In sotne Lincoln was typically Amerisaid he, "and yet the fact stands it was not his likeness, but hi s ce, not being just like the le but being something more than p~op le, that he really came into greatness. Abraham Lincoln was a perfect embodiment ?f what erica was. He was the tdeal of t America may become. And so, think of him, let us not say, The Wilmette Optimist club enjoyed a genuine treat recently upon the t great people we are," but "How we have to learn from one who occasion ofi its first evening social get-together.

"Again, Lincoln was strong and beli eved in good health and physical strength. In the work and play in whi ch he delighted, the habits of fruga lity and wholesomeness, he built body which became for him not a as ter, but the in strument of all his her purposes. Is tbere anything rticularly American about that? eleven young men struggling on iron there are a thousand ng them. Is it typical in these of the candy box and the ice cream soda to train one's self to live fru gally and wholesomely and not to abuse the body which ought to be the instrument of a living spirit in the life's work?" "Lincoln was thorough-with a deadly thoroughness. He .practically mastered Euclid's geometry in order to learn the meaning of the word 'demonstrate,' but when he had a great people to convince in a titanic stru~gle he knew how to 'demonstrate' and vince them. In that thoroughness do y-WJ see a~in~...tv.vicallv American?" "He was poor. He said that the most any man ought to have is a house and $10,000.

"He was religiously devoted to the ri~ht. as God gave him to see the right. He did not think that a thing was right because everyone was doing it.
