Bak, in truth, I think (take •.him altogether),
he is the BEAT 3tAti I. ever saw. Although he
has never Made a punlic profession of Kelt

.glen,' I nevertheless believe that he has the
fear of God befOre hie eyes, and that he gees
'daily to allifone Ist - grace,: and asks wisdom,
light; and knowledge, to enable hlin faithful
ly'tg discharge iris duties::' This* testimohy
as to the 'excellence of his moral character,
given several months since, :Avhen there *as,
.no ',motive , prompting - to exaggeration,' has
been singularly confirmed by his entire life
When a child .he was taught by his piOns
mother to pray to Gad, to avoidprofaulty,l6
respect - the- SabFath day, to honor his pa

thatmother Was — rernoved . from him by the

he never forget them, and to' the day of his

tb them, So. far as*We.' have - inforthation in

As'ftirtherillitstration'orthe sincere piety.of
'on-.lamented President, I May be allowed to,
add two or three incidehts which are well au:
thentiCated. '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

• • . .
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

THE LESSON WHICH WE AS INDTVIDEALS AND .
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

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. ' .. . .

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

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 .
Government in the rebel states. His 'work
was clone, when like Moses he led his people
to the borders of the promised land, °God
having prepared a Joshua in. the; person of
Andrew. Johnson to lead them in, and to give
' them full possession of Ittitreasares of 'plane
and of happiness; - 'And: while we' ms•yieel '
