'The Rev.. Mr. Adams; Pastor of. the `North .Broad titrept, Presbyterian Church; Philadelphia, stated sometime since in, his Thanksgiv.ing li Sermon that, having :au appointment with the President at 5 o'clock in the moming,..he Went - a quarter of ah hOur. before the time. While-waiting for the hour he heard a'voice' in. the next- room as it:-in grave: ceinversatiort, , 'and. asked'the - !servant "who is talking .. .in the next room?" `.lt is 'the-President, sir." • "Is anybody with him?" • "No, Sir, 'he is reading the .Bible."; "Is this his habit so early the morning? "Yes, sir, he'devotes . every' -morning iron:C - 4 . 10 5 o'clock,' to 'reading tne, Scriptures .and. pray-. • On another occasion,.a Quaker- gentleman , and his niebe, having an engagement with him at 5 o'clock in the morning, went a little early, ;and" spent the intermediate time in looking round, and examining whatever of interest presented.itself to their attention On the entrance of the President at the hoar named, 'the Friend taking him. by the hand said "Friend Abraham, I have...heard thy voice before." "Have you?" said the Prem.- delft; "I do not rernember, that we, ever met befOre.", "I heard thee," replied theTrlend, "this morning, talking with thy God in pray et ; and 1 believe God"will take care' of both thee and thy, country." • • At a recent Sabbath School Convention in Massaehtisetts, speaker stated that a friend of" his, during -an--interview with Mr. Lin coln, asked him if he loved Jesui. The President butied his face in hia handkerchief and wept.- He then said :—"When I. left home to take:thiti Chair of State,-I requested my countrymen' to *pray for me—l was . not then a Christian. When my son; died—the severest trial' f was not a Christi‘ an.. But :when :I. went to Gettysburg ; ind looked - upon the=graves - of our dead heroes, who had fallen in defence :of their 'country, and 'fraiiPferred my _thoughts from them to JESUS, wbo had DIED FOR:318 and for the world; I then atid . .theril consecrated. Myself! to Christ—l no LOVEJEBtIS." In short, from all , we know . of, our lament -ed President; we have reason to believe that be wasa sincere Christian, and dying in. Christ, he has been welcomed tei the home of the .good With the plaudit "Well'dcine,, good and faithful servauti", and. to-diy,• while we 1 mourn his lese; he is uniting with the spirits of the . thousands;-o€ martyred • dead, whO have • fallen , tia - .;-ha• bey done in 'defence of truth and. liberty, in. singing .. the , o • • • • . . But resuming our.special theme, Ire.re mark a c ,Tain, • - • Thai Abraham Lincoln was great as a States man and a'Ruter. . • I am aware that the aristocracy of mo narchial governments, who cart see nothing great in any one who has not come from the upper srata of society, have affixted.to make light of his abilities as' statesman, :and to laugh at, his` state paper's as the emanations of an uncultivated, plebein mind.' The.rebels too. as might be expected., have taken up 'and echoed . these false -sentiments of their sympathising 'friends across the water ;, and, in addition,_lailye exhausted their, entire vo cabulary of low words and slang phrases in attempts to describe the utter imbecility and worthlessness.' of, the man - whia had been chosen by the free men of. the North te'rule over them; And weak men at the north, I am sorry to add; :influenced by party spirit and blinded 'by prejudice, have united in these denunciations, and :have done every , thing they could to blast his reputation as: a Statesman, and to depreciate. and if possible, destroy his influence .as a ruler.. And yet, notwithstanding all these efforts to ever wbeim and rum - him, made by his enemies .both at home and abroad President Lincoln, in the estimation of' allimpartial- judges, has taken his place by' the side of the most re nowned statesmen of this or any ether age; tied for, all coming time he is destined to, be referred to as.the. most successful ruler that ever wielded a sceptm or Tresided ever a nation:: - And justly so ;.for no man in com-, ing into power ever had greater difficulties io,coutend with than he; 'mid 'no man con tending with national difficulties- ever did it more successfully than. he. When he took the. Presidential - chair, as you all remember, the entire South had vir teeny seceded from the Union the army at liestbut small,, was mainly, in the hands of. the rebels; the navy 'was scattered to the 'four winds of the .earth; the Government. was without means,* without credit, and well' nigh bankrupt; and treason • -was bold and defiant on every hand.. Indeed he knew not whether, the country,' demoralized and tiara lized as It wee, would sustain him in any ; measure that he might adopt for the suppres .eion of the, rebellion, and the .restoration of she-authority of the Government. He was' onsequently obliged to move slowly - and autiouSly--4o ineve with the .people—no aster—no slower—and yet to move certainly, id specessfelly. How well he performed is part is.known to you all. All his meas res were characteilzed by wisdom and pru ence, so much, so that never in a single in ance was he, :obliged -to take - a step back ;ard after' he bad once fully determined on certain course. His plans, so far as tried, ave never misearried : and through the less* of God _upon his efforts, he liVed to .e the gigantic 'armies of the rebels almost itirely broken up, the capital of their Con • deracy captured,. the:officers of their so tiled government scattered, the right arm of leir. power, : African Slavery,. broken, and M last hope of the rebel oligarchy virtually .stroyed. With these evidences of his eeatness as-:a statesman and a ruler, we majr fely-leave his .reputation to the decision' of just and an impartial future. .• . President L'incoln was also great in his boy of iberty, and in his desire, to secure that boon to' cry man tirina, within the bounds of our exten . domain. • This love of liberty lie doubtless inherited 'om his father ; who, - though born in a slave - ate, and living , under the influence of the .ave system until his removal to Indiana in: • ;116, had neVertheless a.perfect hatred of ev -ytbing connected with it... Indeed we are .1d that he left Kentucky because he felt iat the poor white man, as well as the black, 'as degraded wherever slavery existed. His: )n, censequently, inheriting froM him: a .ve of liberty - and a hatred of slavery, - mr ed -them with him through life. -Hence lien he' came into :a position, through ,his ection to 'Congress. in' 1847, in which he mid strike at the e.herished institution of le. South with -any hope of success, he did it hesitate to.use all his constitutional pow. against its. extension into new territories, el for its abolition'in4he: District of ,Colum a, and wherever elee the United States Go -rnment had entire jurisdiction. During his ongressional term he voted for the repeption :* anti-slavery petitions; for committees to quite intot.he constitutionality of slavery in .e District, and the expediency of - Abolishing •erein-the slave trade; and' for various re anions prohibiting slavery in the territory be acquired from Mexico. Ele" Voted no. 38 - than forty-two times for the Wilmot reviso, and on January 16, 1849, he offered the 'house a scheme for 'the abolition of • - avery in the District, by compensating the, ,vners of the slaves emaneipated out ,of the reasury of the ',United States, by.. and with le consent of the people themselves. 'When he was elected to the Presidency. it as with the distinct understanding that, tile he would 'not interfere with slavery here it existed by - virtue of State laws, he muld nevertheless, use all hiepower to pre ea its extension into new territories: - , HoW he has grappled with this to-mater sin f the nation—the fruitful source of all our olitical troubles—since he became an (men ant of the,,Presidential chair, is fully known ) you all.- And 'how be has , succeeded in• rangling that monster, and unloosning from s deadly_ folds the millions that - were' held , y- it; is also' known to you, and is attested y the sincere' grief of these unfettered mil .oris to-day in 'every part if our land. Nor-have his efforts - been confined to the lack man aloue. For in breaking ljje yoke, has also - emancipated from theßvalmost corse than African slavery millions of his own race—the poor whites of the South—the very class front which he:himself originally : came. He has indeed proved himself the grerit emancipator of his race—the•friend of universal liberty, anti'-the -uncompromising foe of tyranny, - oppression and wrong wher : ever found. - And when the passions of the hour shall have subsided, and the .prejudices engendered by . the strife through which we have been passing shall• have passed away, President Lincoln -I have no doubt, be recognized by men of every clime, as the great apostle of freedom to- the oppressed of all lands;, while, thepoor - African, especlally, will have him enshrined.in his memory, and immortalizehin his Songs; ret the Moses who, under God, led forth his: people from :the house of bondage to the very borders• of the promised land of freedtim and of happiness. Rut again, : _President Lincoln was alsO great in his all-ab sorbing love of country, and his apparent freedom feom.ecery Donee of selfishneAs. The love of country, amounted to a passion with him that for the time seemed to swal low up every other thought, and every other consideration. Personal ease .and' comfort, personal , health and -safety, . end personal emoluments and friends were . all sacrificed' cheerfully, when in his judgement the inter ests of the country demanded such a: sacri fice., Evenreputation, the dearest and most 'valuable treasure . man can possess in this, world, aside from the . hopes of Religion, was" :sometimes placed in jeopardy, in order to carry out measures for the country'sgood.— No _man living or dead ever manifested a - greater love of CountrY, or lesaregard for self • than he. During the late battles before Pe .tersburg and . Richmond which .decided the fate of the Confoleracy, the President was in the field rill the time regardless of person al danger. And after the victory bad been secured, and the rebel - capitol had fallen into our hands, forgetful of the fact that it was filled with base - and wicked men who had been praying for his destruction,.and= who" might be tempted to"saerifice their own lives" 1n order to kill him; accompanied by a small" escort; - he.rode through that conquered " " city in order to see for Impel( its true condition. ..and be:the better able to decide oribli future policy hi. relation to its people . and the court try at large.

AS A. NATION. MAY LEARN • EROS HIS Brains 'AND UNEXPECTgD Vt.D. • " , - • And hete I need hardly remind ybu that; the first:great lesson that God would have us_ learn from this national bereniement, is one In relation to our mu ,mortalitu,: and.- the necessi ty of our being - alwayr ready for dedth, since we know not the day nor the hour when the Boa of man will send his messenger : to sail us away from aktongst thelivii3g on earth. How impressively is this lesson taught-in the un expected death of -President. During last Friday, .it is said. he wasengaged- with Gen: Grant and his Cabinet in making out a course of future *action in relation to the rebel States,. his plans being adOpted with-great unanimk ty ; and that at the close of the meeting he seemed much gratified with the result of their dellberations: -'ln the early part of the even ing .he was quite cheerful, aud'had a pleasant interview. with ,Speaker Colfax : who .was about to rake his departure through the min ing regions of Nevada and- California to the Pacific Coast: And when he left hie home a little after 8 o'clock: he was still cheerful; and was doubtless lOoking,fortvaid With. pleasing anticiPations to the hour'when lie should rule over -.a. re-united .people, .and a once More happy and preSpermis* country:* But altis.! • lie little the perils that awaited him, and of his near approach to the clang dra ma of life. For, in little more than an.hout subsequently the deadly ball - of the assassin was lodged in his brain; and all consciousness instantaneously -and foreier. .destroyed;, add Tit • 22 minutes, past 7. o'clock on . Saturday minting. his spirit was in the presence of its God. *Hot!, sudden! how unexpected!.lto* tragic his end !. But let Us' not forget.that . our end 'rimy be just as near as his was hen, - he left the White HouSe on Friday evening, and,rhat it niay come to us just as suddenly; and just as unexpectedly as did his; for. as the poet has truthfully*sung, "Dangers.stand thick through all the.grourtd;- • To push us, to the tomb ; . • And fierce diSeases wait amend, • . To hurry mortals home." • And seeing that this is so, we are called upon today, in a most impressive manner, to strive to have our, peace made with God, and to be ready for death at all times. • May vie take the admonition, and be found at last ai faithful servants who wait for the coming of their Lord. . . .. . .We may learn alsa from this sad:visitation ; the inscrutable character' of GOd's Providences, - and the; importance. of cherishing an unicaeeringfaith in the wisdom. find justice of all his acts, whether. we understand them or not. ' .. . . I would not he Understood as holding Goa responsible for what wicked men; instigated-' by the devil ; and influenced - -by- their"dez4` praved hearts have done Fcr He canuot'do .wronghinisel4 nor can he lippruve of ,tvionv doing in 'others: , And-yetis must be . admit-. ted by every one that believes in the absolute - sovereignty of Jehovah, that He -can restrain the wrath of man, and that even. Satan is powerless to harm one of his servants without the " divine permission. While, - therefore, God did not put it, into the -heart of that wicked teen to assassinate the President, nor yet aid him in the performance of his fiendish act, He did ?Elixir him at that moment.' to do what, previouslY neither men nor devils had 'been able to do, however much they desired it. That Abraham Lincoln has been a child of Providence through life; that He raised him up, educated and preserved him for the Presidency of the United States during" the eventful period through which;.- under : his guidance, we bave juss passed so:Successful ly ;= that.notwithstanding he . ' hae.heenson stantly surrounded, • dtiring_..tbe.!: lost four years; with base men Who would have.gloried to his destruct loft; TO-one-was , permitted -to. " -harm him tilt the old, fin was ,replaced on • Sumter, the great rebel army .completely an nihilated,:and the Southern Confederacy vir tually ended, will hardly be, doubted by.any. But why t -just at the "moment of victory, and when everything lonked bright far the future, thatgood man, so long preserved, Was per-" mitted to fall by the hands of his enemies is • not so easily understood-is indeed, a mys tery, the solution of which .can only be ohs; tamed in the- future, perhaps; in - this world, but it maybe, not till we reach the confines of the next.- 9 Perhapsod saw there was danger, amid our rejoicings over our , recent victories, of our ascribing the glory of our" deliveranne to . the President, rather than to the great Jeho veil to-whom it rightly belongs , ; and to pre vent this great sin upon. the • part of .the- na - ' tion, he has permitted our idol to be smitten down by, the hand of the assaasin, thin teach ing us that, after all his success,' he was only a mortal like unto ourselVes. - • • • - ~Or:it may be that,' While God saw that Abraham Lincoln was just the man to, con duct the nation through this great retiellion, and with the rebellion itself to crush out Amefican Slavery, its cause and suPport, be ..was not the man to properly punish tholead era of this rebellion and to reconstruct this .
