seven years of operation by Humes, McAllister, Hale &

money—not very much each year—and we now have a com-

and, we hope, through the exercise of a real desire to help

We believe that a bank should be more than a con-

Acknowledged as
Master of Prose
English Critic’s Tribute
to Abraham Lincoln
Well Deserved.
“It is not too much to say of him
(Lincoln) that he is among the great-
est masters of prose ever produced by
the English race.”—The (London)
Spectator.
It is said that Nathaniel Hawthorne
was once asked the secret of his style.
That consummate writer replied—no
doubt with one of his inscrutable
smiles—*It is the result of a great
deal of practice. It comes from the
desire to tell the simple truth as hon-
estly and vividly as I can.” The flaw-
less perfection of Lincoln's style in his
noblest utterances eludes a final anal-
ysis as completely as the exquisite
pages of our great romancer. yet in
striving to understand some of the
causes of that perfection we may use
the hint which Hawthorne has giver
us.
Lincoln had “ a great deal of prac-
tice” in the art of speech long before
his debates against Douglas made him
known to the nation; endless talks in
country stores, endless jests in fron-
tier taverns, twenty years of pleading
in the Circuit courts, twenty-five
vears of constant political discussion.
His law partner had noted his inces-
sant interest in the precise meaning
of words. His reputation for clear
statement to a jury was the result of
his passion for putting ideas into lan-
guage “plain enough for any boy to
comprehend.” Lincoln's mind worked
slowly, and he was long in finding the
words that exactly expressed his
thoughts. but when he had once hit
upon the word or phrase he never for-
got it. “He read less and thought
more than any man in the country,”
says Herndon with a sort of pride,
and it should be remembered that
throughout his gradual development
as a master of his mother tongue
he was preoccupied, not with words
for their own sake, but solely with
words as the garb of ideas.
Told Truth Simply.
Furthermore, Lincoln's mental char-
acteristics illustrate with singular
force the remark of Hawthorne that
style is the result of a desire to tell
the simple truth as honestly and viv-
idly as one can. He was “Honest
Abe”; not, indeed, so innocent and
frank and unsophisticated as many
people believed; not a man who told
all he knew, by any means; but yet
a man essentially fair-minded. He
looked into the nature of things. He
read human nature dispassionately.
A man of intense feeling, he was nev-
ertheless, in mature life, at least,
without sentimentality. He was not
fooled by phrases. As a debater he
made no attempt to mislead his audi-
ence; as President, when he found
frank conversation impossible, he told
a humorous story of more or less re-
mote bearing upon the subjeet in
hand. He kept inviolate his mental
integrity. And without integrity of
mind the weuld-be master of speech
becomes a mere juggler with words.
In the letter to Thurlow Weed con-
cerning the second inaugural address,
Lincoln described that memorable ut-
terance as “a truth which I thought
needed to be told.” No description
could be more nobi~.
That Lincoln's gift of humor added
much to the vividness and homely
naturalness of his style will not be
questioned. But the connection be-
tween fair-mindedness and humor fis
not always remembered. The man of
true humor—not, of course, the mere
joker or wit—sees all sides of a prop-
osition. He recognizes instinctively
its defects of proportion, its incon-
gruities. It is the great humorists
who have drawn the truest pictures
of human life, because their humor
was a constant corrective against one-
sidedness. Lincoln's mind had the
impartiality, the freedom from preju-
dice, the flexibility of sympathy which
belongs to the humorist alone.
Always Purpose in Stories.
It has sometimes been argued that
his fondness for story-telling showed
a deficient command of language :
that, knowing his inability to express
his ideas directly, he conveyed them
indirectly by an anecdote. It would
probably be nearer the truth to say
that the stories were a proof of his
understanding of the limitations of
language. He divided the boundaries
of expression through formal speech
and knew when a picture, a parable,
would best serve his turn,
4S great responsibilities came to
rest upon him, as the harassing prob-
lems of our national life pressed closer
and closer, the lonely President grew
more clear-eyed and certain of his
course. The politician was lost in the
statesman, His whole life, indeed,
was a process of enfranchisement
from selfish and narrow views. He
stood at last on a serener height than
other men of his epoch, breathing an
ampler air, perceiving more truly the
eternal realities. And his style
changed as the man changed. What
he saw and felt at his solitary final
post he has in part made known,
through a slowly perfected instrument
of expression. So transparent is the
language of the Gettysburg address
and of the second inaugural that one
may read through them, as through a
window, Lincoln's wise and gentle and
unselfish heart. Other praise is need-
less.—Bliss Perry, in Christian Science
Monitor.
Lincoln’s Plea to Voters
Every man is said to have his pecul
iar ambition. Whether it be true or
not, I can say, for one, that I have no
other so great as that of being truly
esteemed by my fellowmen by ren-
dering myself worthy of their esteem.
How far I shall succeed in gratifying
this ambition is yet to be developed.
I am young and unknown to many of
you; I was born and have ever re-
mained in the most humble walks of
life. I have no wealthy or popular
relations or friends to recommend
me. My case is thrown exclusively
upon the independent voters of the
country, and if elected, they will have
conferred a favor upon me for which I
shall be unremitting in my labors to
compensate. But if the good people
in this wisdom shall see fit to keep me
in the background, I have been too fa-
miliar with disappointments to -be
very much chagrined.—Abraham Lin-
coln.

What's in a Name?
As soon as a man is ordained, every-
one commences calling him names. It
seems that a distinct effort is made to
have these names as diverse and var-
ied as possible. From one point of
view a minister may feel his diversity
of titles is a compliment to his versa-
tility of nature, but quite often, in
spite of his best efforts to be always
amiable, he gets terribly bored and
often shocked by the terms with which
he is addressed.
Herve are a few of the titles people
use in speaking to the clergy: Mister,
| Father, Deacon, Elder, Brother, Rec-
tor, Doctor, Preacher, Parson, Rever-
end, Revenue, Reverner, Pastor, Pas-
ture. The last on the list, perhaps,
has more reason for use than several
of the others, for truly the sheep and
the goats do feed on the poor man.
“Revenue” and ‘“Reverner” are only
used by the most ignorant of people.
But all these titles do not fit the same
man. It may be quite proper to call a
Deacon “Deacon” if we wish to re-
mind him that he is a Deacon, but the
term like many others in the list is
hardly applicable, otherwise. Several,
in fact, have little place in our Church,
while others are titles of official, rath-
er than personal address and should
be used accordingly.
But one title that makes a clergy-
man shudder is to be addressed as
“Reverend.” Many people say “Rev-
erend Wells did so and so.” To use
“Reverend” correctly it must be fol-
lowed by “Doctor,” “Father,” “Mis-
ter,” or the Christian name of the
clergyman and preceded by the defi
nite article—i, e., the Rev. Wells or
the Rev. John Wells. When this is
not done we are making grammatical
blunders.
So important is this matter becom-
ing that a clergyman in the diocese of
verse, has handed in the following
which we take pleasure in publishing:
REVEREND.
“Call me Brother, if you will.
Call me Parson, better still.
Or if, perchance, the Catholic frill
Doth your heart with longing fill—
Though plain Mister fills the bill,
1f that title lacketh thrill,
Then even Father brings no chill
Of hurt or rancor or ill will.
To no D. D. do I pretend,
Though Doctor doth some honor lend.
Preacher, Pastor, Rector, Friend,
Titles, almost without end,
Never grate and ne'er offend;
A loving ear to all I bend.
But how the man my heart doth rend
Who blithely cals me Reverend!”
If any of our readers are afflicted
with this bad practice, we trust our
suggestion will bear fruit.—The Dio-
cesan Record, Atlanta.
Lifting Laundry Water Makes Wash
Day Hardest.
Lifting laundry water in and out of
portable tubs makes wash day the
hardest of all in many rural homes.
The latest publication on home laun-
dering issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture contains a
hint for reducing this task to a mini-
mum. Pipe the water to the tubs by
means of a flexible rubber hose, if
possible, and by all means siphon off
the waste water with a hose when
ready to empty the tubs. To make
such a siphon, fill a short length of
the hose with water, close the ends
and invert it, placing one end under
the surface of the water and the other
. not proportionately high. Big game

11,667 Deer, 10 Elk 645 Bear are Kill-
ed During Past Season.
During the deer season which end-
ed December 15 hunters killed 11,-
667 deer legally in Pennsylvania, ac-
cording to estimates on record at the
offices of the State Game Commis-
sion at Harrisburg. This figure sur-
passed by more than a thousand the
number killed in 1925. That year
9,728 deer were killed.
The kill estimated from the reports
made by hunters does not include the
does killed during the four day post-
season.
Ten elk were killed this year, four
more than a year ago, and 645 bear |
as compared with 470 in 1925.
Rabbits were killed in smaller num- |
bers than for several years, the com-
mission reported, and with the excep-
tion of ringneck pheasants, birds weve
bagged in smaller number this seascn |
than in 1925.
Considering the heavy killing of |
deer in Pennsylvania during the fif-
teen-day season that ended last month,
the number of accidents was low and
the number of violations of the law
hunting in the State is a whole lot
safer than rabbit shooting. As fer
violations they include the killing of
both spike bucks and does. The num-
ber of female deer knocked over by
excited sportsmen was comparatively
small; the number of spike bucks that
were killed seemed disproportionately
high in some regions.
Several deer hunters in recounting
their experiences said that in some
parts of the State, mainly in the cen-
tral section, a few camps evidently
adopted the rule of shooting the mom-
ent it was ascertained that a buck had
horns and taking a chance that it
would prove to be a two-pointer.
There were other districts where not
one spike buck was killed, proving that
the hunters were taking every precau-
tion against anything but antlered
deer.
The last weeks were marked by a
record haul of racoons in Pennsyl-
vania, many deer camps indulging in
the sports. Coon hunting near Phila-
delphia has been good. Northern
Chester county has produced some
fine sport this season, as has Berks
county and the Perkiomen has been
hunted almost nightly with the stock
of raccoons not exhausted.
