"Children of the Heavenly King,"
Abraham Lincoln was buried, Bishop Simpson, now dead, spoke eloquently, quoting Mr. Lincoln"s words, "Before high Heaven and in the face of the world I swear eternal fidelity to the just cause, as I deem it, of the land of my life, my liberty, and my love."
Charles Sumner said, "There are no accidents in the Providence of G.o.d."
Such lives as that of Abraham Lincoln are not accidents in American history. They are rather the great books from whose pages we catch inspiration, and in which we read G.o.d"s purposes for the progress of the human race.
