His mother could read, but could not write and his father could do neither. Almost all of the names of the men of Revolutionary times have passed out of the memories 6f Americans except those of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Hancock; but there is not a language nor a people in any part of the world, f.hat is not familiar with the name of Abraham and generations to come .will hold to his memory. As General Pershing and our Ambassador to France and their associates memorialized the birthday of Lafayette with the now historic phrase, "Lafayette, We let us, as a nation, united with friendly nations, take a stand at the grave of Lincoln today and exclaim in the words of the old song, "We are coming, Father Abraham, one hundred thou sand strong," only altering the words to read, "millions and millions strong," and say as Senator Douglas said, "Lincoln, honestcst man ever," we love thy memory and stand together by thy grave today, unfalteringly to preserve the Union for which thy life was given, thou "kindly, earnest, brave, foreseeing man."
