LINCOLN, A COMMON MAN
Merle Price, Cool Springs High School
The following essay, by Miss
Merle Price, a senior of Cool Springs
High school, won the Lincoln Medal.
A number of .students entered the
contest for this medal, and of all the
good essays written, the following
was adjudged the best:
Nature, they say, doth dote,
And cannot make a man
Save on some worn-out plan,
Repeating us by note
For him her old world moulds aside
she threw,
And, choosing sweet day from the
breast
Of the unexhausted west,
With stuff untainted shaped a hero
new,
Wise, steadfast in the strength of
God, and true.
How beautiful to see
Once more a shepherd of mankind in
deed,
( Who loved his charge, but never
J loved to lead,
One whose meek flock the people
i .joyed to be;
Not lured by any cheat of birth,
But by his clear-gained human
; worth
And brave old wisdom of sincerety.
I —JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
On February 12, 1809, in the back
wods of Kentucky, was born a baby
boy destined to become the "Saviour
of our Country," one of the world's
greatest statesmen, and a chief fig
ure among its heroes, by safely
leading his nation through the most
trying circumstances ever to be con
fronted, the problem of civil war.
Abraham Lincoln was the son of
Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks
Lincoln. The names of Lincoln and
Hanks were ancient English. These
families were prominent in the be
ginning of New England. Thomas
Lincoln was honest, sober, and pos
sessed a most pleasing disposition;
having no education, he lacked thrift
and ability. Nancy Hanks was a
beautiful and sweet tempered wo
man, thrifty and energetic. As a
housewife she was excellent. Thomas
and Nancy began housekeeping at
Elizabethton, Kentucky; afterwards
they moved to Nolin's Creek where
Abraham was born.
To us the pathetic story of Abra
ham's eventful early life is familiar;
his great struggle with poverty, and,
with the advantage of only a few
THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1928
months of school, his difficulty in
garnering from borrowed books edu
cation enough to satisfy his ardent
ambition. The livelihood gained by
pioneer farming was a hard earned
one. Clothes of animal skins were
typical costumes of the far west.
Abraham was a useful lad at an
early age; he performed difficult
tasks at the age of eight years. Se
riousness became a part of his na
ture even then. The death of his
cherished mother was the first
tragedy to make its mark on his
life. Yet his stepmother was not
far below her in qualities. She
encouraged Abraham in his long
hours of diligent study by firelight.
Could she, perhaps, -have visioned
her well-mannered, ambitious, as
piring stepson as the world's most
praised leader? Already the quali
ties that afterwards made him leader
of men were in evidence, far due
to his strength, his cleverness, and
generosity he was the acknowledged
captain of his boyhood companions.
On a three months trading expedi
tion to New Orleans Abraham's ex
periences were widened, and he
gained a knowledge of life outside
the wilderness. Back he went to the
forest, but he had heard the urgent
call of wisdom.
Chronic failure had made it neces
sary for the Lincoln family to move
several times. They finally settled
pn the Sagamon River, Illinois. Here
began Abraham's career. In all the
business projects he understood, he
failed. Then as a lawyer he began
the slow, upward climb to success
in public life. He then became cap
tain of a company in the Black Hawk
war, from there to a seat in the
State Legislature, thence to Con
gress he struggled always keep
ing before him the two tasks he had
chosen as his duty, the abolition of
slavery and a strict temperance
policy. He already foresaw that
abolishing these two conditions
would be his masterpieces of work
manship, and he never wavered in
his views.
In the social life at Springfield,
where Lincoln fixed his home, our
hero rose to the highest social ranks.
To be sure he was somewhat out of
place there, but his good nature, his
vast store of humorous tales, ming
led with his unusual intellect made
one forget his plainliness. He had
several love affairs; one of these re
sulted in the second tragic death of
his loved ones when his chosen died.
Nevertheless, he finally married
Mary Todd, in November, 1842, who
proved a meritous wife, and whom
he greatly loved.
In May, 1860, Abraham Lincoln
was elected to begin a most trying
presidential career, extending
through the most critical period of
our nation in its freedom. It was
his task to preserve the union
through the sweeping secession
movement of the Southern States,
and through the terrible Civil War.
Always his infinite wisdom proved
equal to the task. For the reason
that he was good for nothing in
particular, he was good for every
thing in general. While his con
temporaries burrowed to the bot
tom of one thing, he burrowed to
the root of all things. Of the great
men living at his time, Poe, Glad
stone, Shermon, Mendelssohn ,
Chopin, Darwin, with their variety
of talents and abilities, Lincoln
stands foremost, yet with no parti
cular talent to his credit. He
stands alone, unique, and his name
suggests to us a completeness within
itself. During this era of tumult
he showed his genius in various
phases of his existence: He gave
zealous attentions to foreign and
home affairs, military and naval
movements, and domestic duties.
The Civil War was tended to show
the nation what a truly great leader
it possessed. His patience, high
mindness and forebearanee helped to
make the country so, and through
his powers, with which no challenge
was too great to contend, our na
tion was abe to bear the Atlas-load
upon it. He led the land safely
through the crises of affairs, but it
was after the victory that his true
greatness, his splendid and perfec
tion of characteristics were brought
»
to lights, when he thwarted the mad
revenge of North upon South, and
when he went about healing the
country's horrible wound. He used
no practised theory, no caution; but
with his own eyes he looked at the
situation, saw what should be done,
and did it, with the directness and
fearlessness characteristic to this
humble plainsman. He was not en
cumbered by a mass of riches; what
he thought best to say, he said with
out questioning the consequence. He
showed that his misfortunes, as well
as those of others, were not so com
mentable, by his infinite wit where

A friend is honest and true,
That'll cheer one up when one is

A friend in trials and troubles, too.

A friend always loves with a pure

As pure as the soaring white dove
That flies so gracefully above—

A friend loves truly, honestly,
A fault in him no one can see,
He is always purity—

With one in all his cares he will

And in him all your care confide—

The voters can't be lured to the
polls by talking to them about the
duties of citizenship, but there would
be a tremendous outpouring if each
one got a dollar for voting.
ever occasion demanded. Such was
Lincoln, a normal man; yet with
larger proportions of normality than
is usually found.
When the second inauguration of
Lincoln took place, March 4, 1865,
it seemed that his problems had been
solved, and momentarily he knew
happiness, a rare thing. But Lincoln,
who had won the highest honor his
country had to offer was not destin
ed to rule further. The unerring
aim of the assassin ended a most in
spiring- life. Stanton's words, "Now
he belongs to the ages," as Lincoln
succumbed was a signal to the na
tion, calling forth its saddest griefs.
This man of humble virtues had won
a place in the heart of the universe.
There was something essentially na
tive of America, something that be
spoke of an ideal type ot manhood,
about him. A frontiersman by birth,
he was a pioneer in activity. The
inheritance of Lincoln's ideals should
n much to our nation, and his
memory perpetually recorded in his
torv of our land.
