NEW YORK. February 15. (Received Feb. 13, at 8.45 p.m.)
The New York Times’s Washington correspondent states that President Harding, in a speech on the occasion of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, said: “Abraham Lincoln appears to me as one who manifestly was brought forth with'a destiny, or consecrated by the Infinite Hand to render a particular service to save the nation and to emancipate the people. It doubtless is a vain hope that another such as L;ncoln will be given to us In our time, but to the extent that we shall prove ourselves worthy of such a leader, to that extent we shall better be able to save ourselves without him. Men throughout the world will save themselves if they forget themselves. The task would probably be less difficult if humanity would get a little nearer to God. The fullest and truest service in times like these that anr nation or society can render to itself will be the service which is conceived hi unselfishness. and rendered without thought of immediate gain or even ultimate personal advantage.”—A. and X.Z. Gable.
