Splendid Lighthouses of Life
arc they which have been built upon the shores of
obscurity by the boys of humble birth, whose
birthdays, February 12th and April 27th, have
just passed Abraham Lincoln andUlysses S.
Grant full of light and inspiration, both in their
boyhood and manhood.
Boys, 'like trees, must grow straight from
the beginning to come to anything worth while.
The world is greatly indebted to its obscure
families, if we have read its biographies aright.
You who have traveled know that the huge,
mysterious pyramids of Egypt rest on sand.
For such as have far back, honorable
ancestry and favorable opportunities of early life
we may be justly proud, and to them we may
fairly look for great achievements and give
laudable praise, but we cannot forget that many
a giant of learning and powerful service has come
out of small corners of humble wooden cabins.
