It was partly his early training, and partly an inborn taste
that made him a plain man in his disposition and habits— plain
in dress, plain in living, plain in speech, plain in manners. He
was infinitely removed from a dude. He dressed to w o rk ; he did
not work to dress. He was infinitely removed from an epicure.
He ate to liv e ; he did not live to eat. So it was in every direc­
tion . He carried his simplicity of nature and training into every­
thing. If he had anything to say, he did not seek for ornate
speech or call flowers of rhetoric like Everett or Sumner. He
did not cultivate graceful poise and musical tones like Phillips or
Curtis. He knew full well that such attainments were not for
him with his ungainly figure and unmelodious voice. He was
too sincere a man to try to balk nature or play another s part.
He spoke always out of an honest mind and a true heart. He
was Abraham Lincoln every time. When he addressed the intel­
lectual elite of New York at Cooper Institute in the early winter
of i860 great orators listened to him, at first with poorly con­
cealed disappointment. His uncultivated appearance, his uncouth
positions and gestures led them to feel, if not to say, “ this will
never do” , but before he was done with his masterly address all
felt that a new force had come into our politics, a new and na­
ture nourished orator had spoken to the land.
I need hardly say that this simplicity and naturalness marked
all his speeches and papers as a public man. His Gettysburg
address and his second inaugural, brief hurried productions so to
speak, touch the high water mark of our western eloquence and
national literature. They are plain Slike their author. No
flowers of rhetoric, no lofty flights of oratory , no show of learn­
ing, no pretense of style, but every word is absolutely sincere, and
every word has its true and distinct value. His speech was
golden as well as his silence.
This simplicity made him misunderstood. Fastidious people
said that he was coarse— a clown dealing out rude jokes on all
occasions, incapable of serious speech. They said the same also
of Grant at the beginning of his career, that he was coarse and un­
cultivated, that he had no nice and delicate feelings. In fact,
that he was a mere butcher because he believed that war is war
and not a mere dress parade as McClellan seemed to hold. To
the end of the war and to this day in England, some men are fond
of contrasting him in his faded blouse, with his omnipresent cigar

with the courtly and stately Lee. Y et the glory of Lincoln and
Grant is that they were simple, sincere, straightforward men,
honest to the core, who called a spade a spade and never professed
to be what they were not. Matthew Arnold said that Lincoln can­
not be called a great man because he lacks the note of distinction,
but the judgment of Punch was far nearer the truth when he
crowned the “ Rail Splitter” King of men.
But notice as a further characteristic that this plain man was
also an aspiring man. He was born in poverty and obscurity,
but he was not content to stay in poverty and obscurity. He
made the best of his scanty opportunities— he borrowed all the
books he could hear of in the region where he lived. He studied
by fire light after the family had gone to bed-lthe spent his unoc­
cupied time as clerk in a country store. In reading he filled his
mind with the facts of history ; he studied Geometry as a training
in L o g ic; he exercised himself in secret in English composition.
It is not likely that he dreamed of greatness for he was too
humble a man to indulge such a dream, but he was driven by an
inward impulse to do his best. “ Higher” was his motto. Noth­
ing else could satisfy him.
Again Lincoln was characterized by a great loving heart. If
it is true that
“ He prayeth best who loveth bestAll things both great and small,”
then Lincoln prayed without ceasing, for he never saw the time
that he did not love all things that God had made. He was ab­
solutely devoid of the power of hate. It was always true of him
“ With malice toward none; with charity for all” . Such unself­
ishness as he displayed in his character as President has never
been equalled by any ruler. He had no jealousy, no envy, no
self-seeking. The South might hate him and exhaust all the vile
epithets of the slums and all the bitterness of Hell in speaking of
him. Partisan opponents might misrepresent and slander him,
■ even the lights of his own party, the men upon whom he leaned
for support, might turn against him and oppose his methods and
thwart his plans, but he kept in his way with a sweetness of temper
and a long suffering patience that seems more a dream of fancy
than an actual realization. To punish an enemy was to him an
impossible duty. In his first cabinet he placed his conspicuous
competitors for the presidential nomination. Seward was his

4

right-hand man to the end. Later he made Chase, a severe critic
of his methods and measures, and an aspirant for the presidential
succession, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Greely he never
ceased to esteem and honor despite his erratic and perilous course.
Even for Sumner, whom Grant could not tolerate, he had no
words of bitterness or rebuke. His heart was so humane and
kind that he effaced himself. The question was not what men
said or did against the President, but what the President could get
them to do for the country. And the country, her institutions,
her woes, her struggles, her glory, he loved her with a love that
conquered his heart and life. His life as President was a daily
martyrdom. What every soldier suffered, he suffered. The tears
of widows and orphans shed during those four years of bloodshed
and agony flooded his heart until the ample reservoir almost
burst its bounds. In fact, from a military point of view, this was
a kind of weakness. Stanton and the leaders of the army pro­
tested against his acts of clemency to the violation of discipline,
as injurious to the morale of the army, but he went on just the
same ■ He could not sign the death warrant of a soldier because
in his sight every soldier was a son. It was this tenderness that
made him so dear to the army and so dear to the country.
Stanton was feared but never loved. Even Grant, while admired
by his soldiers and honored by his country, lacked that richness
and softness and divineness of nature which exalted Lincoln to
an incomparable position in the hearts of his countrymen. Brains
are grand, but heart is dearer. Shakespeare says: “ Tis excel­
lent to have a giant’s strength, but tyrannous to use it like a
giant.” Lincoln had, no doubt, a giant’s strength, as he showed
on great occasions when his decision and courage rose sub­
lime and irresistible. For it is the tenderest natures that have
the grandest power of heroism. But he never used his strength
or his authority tyrannously. He had a giant’s strength in a
woman’ s loving heart.
It is strange, but true, that humor is akin to heart. Wit' is,
a thing of the intellect, brilliant, but cold and cruel. But humor
is love’s way of looking at the incongruities and follies of life.
Lincoln was a born humorist. His humor lightened the darkest
hours and sweetened the bitterest trials of his public life. It en­
abled him to keep his secret, to meet every kind of man in every
rank in society, to soften the severity of his decisions, to sound

his companions and catch the temper of every company he ad­
dressed, or like sleep it was to his overworked brain a natural pro­
tection against rancor and insanity. Many of his jokes and joc­
ular sayings will last as long as history. The world will never
cease to love him and wonder at the man who smiled and joked to
hide the tender heart that was breaking over the woes of his country.
But I should do Lincoln a wrong and you a wrong and my­
self a wrong if I failed to recognize the greatness of his intellectual
equipment. He had genius, but it was the genius of common
sense. The same genius that his illustrious predecessor Wash­
ington possessed. He was not a great statesman and constitu­
tional lawyer like Seward ; he was not a great general like G rant;
he was not a great organizer like Stanton; he was not a great
financier like Chase; he was not a great rhetorician and orator
like Everett, but somehow, explain it as we can, he surpassed
them all with the exception ot Grant and Chase in their own pe­
culiar lines. He saved Seward from a great blunder in the Trent
Affair. He acted like a sort of automatic brake upon Stanton’s
wilfulness and rashness. He cast Everett’s elaborate oration at
Gettysburg into utter obscurity by reading a few sentences hastily
written, in a monotonous voice from a sheet of paper. He beat
all the politicians who arrayed themselves against him and car­
ried the country with him every time. It was a marvelous wis­
dom with which he was endowed, a wisdom that places him
about on a level with Shakespeare, notably as to the breadth and
sagacity of it but also as to its being unprepared by any adequate
training and experience.
Speaking of him once more as a man, let me direct your at­
tention to his high moral ideals. He loved righteousness and
hated iniquity, he never held, as many politicians and statesmen,
that the end justifies the means. His moral sense was pure ; his
moral judgments were clear. Who dares lay anything to his
account as a righteous man ? Does any crookedness or suspicion
of j obbery attach itself to his administration ? Can any man point
out a vice or any questionable habit in his case ? He was tem­
perate, chaste, upright in all things. He lost sight of all personal
and family ambitions in his love for his country. He asked noth­
ing, attempted nothing, except what could tend to her peace and
permanency. A ll the ends he aimed at were his country’s, his
God’s and truth’s.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Such was Lincoln the man. I have already anticipated much
of what might be said of him in his character as Chief Magistrate
of our nation in one of the most critical vicissitudes of her history.
The twin stars, Castor and Pollux, of our presidential galaxy are
Washington and Lincoln. They are stars of the first magnitude.
A ll the others are but secondary stars at best. Washington has
the first and greatest place in our history and literature. We call
him rightly “ The Father of his Country,” but do you know the
name and career of Lincoln, whose whole official life was com­
prised within the space of six years, has given rise to a mass of
writings equal in magnitude to all that has been written of Wash­
ington during an entire century. He is not dead. He can never
die. Our first martyred president is one of the world’s immortals.
So long as men love liberty, so long as republican institutions
survive upon the earth, so long as men venerate and love, sacri­
fice, heroism, nobleness, will the name and fame of President
Lincoln touch and glance like the sun on every land.
It remains that I speak briefly of Lincoln as martyr. I need
not repeat the story of that fatal night, April 14, 1865, It will
live in the memories of man until
“The sun grows cold and the stars are old
And the leaves of the judgment book unfold.’’
The Civil War is ended, long drawn out in tears and blood­
shed and agony for four years. The great leader, worn and
weary, seeks recreation in the play “ Our American Cousin.”
Suddenly a sharp report is heard. A figure leaps, or rather falls
upon the stage, crosses it amidst the consternation of the audi­
ence and passes out into the night. The play of “ Our American
Cousin” is over. More than that, the drama of our martyred
president is ended forever. Borne to a house across the street he
lives, in stupor, until half past seven the following morning,
when, “ after life’s fitful fever, he sleeps,” sleeps amidst the tears
and love of the American people. One of the few “ the immortal
names that were not born to die.”
The tragic story has recently been retold by one of the players
on the stage that night. He gives a death blow to another of
our popular myths. You know how many of those have recently
been slain like the innocents of Bethlehem by the Herodlike
spirit of historic criticism. William Tell and his apple, Pocohontas saving the life of John Smith, George Washington and his

mischievous hatchet, Wellington crying at Waterloo “ Up guards
and at them, ’ ’ General Bee shouting to his broken line at Bull Run,
“ There stands Jackson like a stone w all.” A ll these have van­
ished like the mists of the morning And now we are told on
good authority that the assassin did not wave a dagger and cry
tragically ‘ ‘sic semper tyrannus’ ’ as he limped over the stage on
his broken limb. Be it so. It is pleasant to think that fool as
Booth was, he was not fool enough to call the large hearted, lov­
ing. gentle Lincoln a tyrant. That fatal scene occurred over forty
years ago. Some can yet recall how the news spread over the
country and how tears for the martyr alternated with hatred for
the assassin. It was a sad event for the nation and especially
for the South, in whose behalf it was ostensibly brought about.
Had Lincoln lived his term out the history of our country would
probably have been very different, peace would have folded her
wings sooner over the distracted sections of our land.
We look back after fifty years and estimate more justly the
character and services of Abraham Lincoln. We thank God that
the “ Rail Splitter, of Illinois” split the Confederacy to pieces
though he died, alas, with the completion of the glorious victory.
We, on this Memorial day, should keep alive the memory of
that heroic and splendid struggle, the Civil War, which was led
by Grant and inspired by Lincoln, but we cannot do this without
having the thought and presence of the great president hovering
over us. He is here to-night. Here in spirit, in his love for his
country in the heroism of which he lived and died. Cherish his
fame, emulate his virtues, be true Americans as he was and may
God abundantly bless us and our native land.

Hbirts*3fiftb annual Commencement of tbe Cumber»
lanb Dalles State IWormal School.
Commencement week at the Normal opened under fair skies
and most auspicious circumstances. The first event was the ban­
quet tendered by the Trustees to the Faculty and members of the
graduating class on Saturday evening. This was a most delight­
ful affair. The dining room was prettily decorated with the
school and class colors, school pennants and bunting. Several
of the Trustees together with their wives were present.
Promptly at eighth thirty all repaired to the banquet hall led
by Dr. Martin and Mrs. George Stewart. Steward Kirkpatrick
had prepared a most dainty menu and after the various courses
the flow of wit commenced. Dr. Martin acted as toastmaster and
introduced the speakers in his usual witty and graceful manner.
He called first on Prof. J. K. Stewart, who responded to a toast
on “ Success.”
Miss Davie, the retiring principal of the Model school, then
delivered a most humorous and eloquent toast. She completely
captivated her hearers and drew prolonged applause.
Earl
Scheaffer, the President of the Class of rgo8, responded in behalf
of his class. His toast was excellent and he delivered it very
nicely. The jolly banqueters then adjourned to the gymnasium
and ended the pleasant evening in the graceful movements of the
dance.
Sunday morning at 9 o ’clock all the students assembled in the
chapel for the closing session of the Sunday school. Prof. Heiges
presided and introduced Dr. Martin who delivered a brief address
on the value of Christian education.

10

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL, HERALD

After a few closing remarks by Prof. Heiges, Prof. Stewart
sang the beautiful solo, “ Jerusalem,” and the students were dis­
missed with the benediction by Dr. Martin.

Baccalaureate Sermon.
Sunday evening at seven thirty the annual baccalaureate ser­
vice was held in the chapel. The spacious room together with
the gallery was completely filled with citizens of the town and
friends of the class. The various ministers of the town were
present and to the beautiful strains of “ We March to Victory,” —
the processional— consisting of the choirfsDr. Martin and mem­
bers of the class, advanced to the platform. The Scripture was
read by Rev. Mr. Wylie of the Board of Trustees and prayer was
offered by Rev. Mr. MacDannald of the Church of God. Dr.
Martin’s sermon was simply beautiful. He took as his text 2
Corinthians 10:5. He said in brief:—
The ancients had fables of a golden age in the far distant
past. Christianity also had visions of a golden age to which the
whole creation moves. The Kingdom of Heaven is the divine
ideal of human society.
The conception of a universal kingdom is not new, not pecu­
liar, to Christianity, but the Kingdom of Heaven differs from all
other kingdoms in three essential points :
1. It is founded on forgiveness.
2. It seeks not yours but you.
3. Its law is love.
The kings of this world exercise authority and the strong
ones bear rule by their strength, but in this kingdom he is greatest
who loves most; he is chiefest who serves.
The riddle of Sampson is the riddle of all life— “ Out of the
eater cometh forth meat, out of the strong came sweetness.” Out
of that which seems destructive, terrible and hostilegfcomes that
which nourishes and strengthens us.
To meet wrong with endurance and to overcome the present
with a mind that looks beyond are triumph.
Service and freedom are by no means incompatible. Have
you ever seen more laborious service than that with which a
mother serves her child ?
Dove constraineth more than fear and there is a yoke which
means freedom and a burden which means rest.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

The law "of love is more than a commandment. It is a prin­
ciple. Commandments are only dams built athwart the stream of
life’s activities to turn the current of our doings into proper chan­
nels, but love moves on the foundations of life. It controls the
heart, for “ Out of the heart are the issues of life” .
The law, even the law of imperial Rome, could not rule the
thoughts of men, nor all her splendid jurisprudence bring into
subjection the conscience ot a simple man. The world is com­
posed of living souls, thinking, willing, choosing for itself. Only
as each of these are brought into the obedience to Christ will the
golden age return.
The music under the direction of Miss Gray was inspiring.
It consisted of the “ Triumphal March from Damascus,” by Costa,
and “ Te Deum in G ,” by Alzamora.
The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. McDannald.
Monday morning, at ten o’clock, the final address to the
graduates was delivered in the chapel by Prof. J. F. Newman, of
the Department of Science and Dean of the Class of 1908. He
took as his subject, “ The Value of a Man.” It was a masterly
address. He showed the value of a man commercially, educa­
tionally and spiritually. Prof. Newman’s words of comfort and
cheer will long remain in the memories of the class he so success­
fully guided during their Normal career.

Monday evening at eight the Musical and Literary entertain­
ment was held in the chapel. Never in the history of the school
was such a crowd present as on this occasion. People were
turned away. A ll the participants acquitted themselves nobly
and reflected great credit upon their instructors, Misses Matthews,
Gray and Hartley.

The Class Day exercises took place on Tuesday morning at
io o’clock. They were held on the campus and were attended
by a vast crowd of people.
The Harrisburg orchestra, of ten pieces, opened the exer­
cises with a pleasing overture.
Earle H. Schaeffer then delivered the President’s address.
He welcomed the audience to the school and exercises, recounted
the deeds of the class of 1908 and expressed the hope that their
future would reflect great credit on the institution from whose
portals they were passing out.
Roy J. Jackson delivered an oration on “ Our Duty as
Electors.” He showed in plain and clear-cut language that it is
the duty of the American people to elect to office only those who
are thoroughly qualified, mentally and morally, to hold important
places in our government.
Miss Katherine Foglesanger then read the Class History.
This was a very interesting and witty document. A ll the trials
and pleasures of the Class of 1908 were thoroughly reviewed and
their recital produced much merriment and applause.
After another selection by the orchestra R. W. Pearson gave •
the Mantle Oration. His subject was!pOn the Threshold.” It
was one the best speeches ever delivered at Normal. He showed
the great possibilities that lie before one who has completed his
school course and urged all to live nobly, act wisely and do the
best. He then, in graceful language, handed over the mantle to
Emory Middour , of the Class of 190^ who received it in behalf
of the class .
The ladies’ class roll was then read by Miss Lydia Under­
wood, and the gentlemen’s by Mr. C. E. Helt. These were both
funny and entertaining. The members of the class were all
“ roasted” and their peculiarities unmistakably shown.
The Class song was then sung by the class. The words and
music were both written by Miss Helen P . Wise and both were
fine. Miss Wise possesses great talent as a musician and has
been a great help to the Normal in a musical way during her
course as a student.
The orchestra then played a closing selection and the large
crowd wended its way from the shady campus, feeling that the
Class Day exercises of the Class of 1908 had been a decided and
pronounced success.

IReunion of Class of 1906.
The reunion of the class of 1906 was held on the campus at
two o’clock on Tuesday afternoon. About fifty members of the
class, together with a large number of spectators, gathered under
the shady trees to listen to the pleasant exercises. Every number
was well rendered and met with applause. Following is the pro­
gram :

The class presentation to the school was not made owing to
the fact that the present, a piece of statuary for the library, was
not ready yet. It is hoped to have it soon.

IReunion of Class of 1898.
About 27 members of the class of 1898 journeyed back to
their alma mater to hold their 10th reunion and revisit the spot
that is so dear to them and to renew the friendships and ac­
quaintances, that years could not efface. Their reunion was held
in the room of the Normal Literary Society and the program was
well rendered.
It opened with an address of welcome which was followed
by a vocal solo by Miss Martha Mark. Mr. Jasper Alexander
delivered an excellent address and Miss Edith Strite a pleasing
recitation.
Mr. Clem Graham read a most interesting class history and
the exercises closed with the singing of “ Auld Lang Syne” by
the class.

Blumni associationA large and enthusiastic meeting of the Alumni Association
was held at the conclusion of the class reunions on Tuesday after­
noon. The following officers were elected for next year :

The class of 1908 was admitted into membership and cor­
dially greeted by the members of the association.
The main subject of discussion before the meeting was con­
cerning the loan fund. It was decided to educate two worthy
students next year.
The alumni were much pleased with the present condition ot.
the school and pledged their loyal support to every movement
for the future welfare of their beloved and cherished alma mater. ^
The alumni play, “ Man Proposes in several Declarations,”
was presented in the chapel before an overflowing audience on
Tuesday evening. Every ticket was sold and a great many were
disappointed in not being able to secure them. The play was
given under the personal direction of Miss Hartley, instructor m
elocution, and great credit is due her for her untiring efforts to
make it a success.
A ll members of the cast played their parts well and the large
audience by its hearty applause voiced their appreciation of the
play and the players.

THE NORMAE SCHOOL, HERAED

Commencement.
The commencement exercises were held in the chapel at
io o ’clock on Wednesday morning. The room was simply
packed. Every seat was taken and people stood about all sides
of the building. The exercises opened with a selection by the
orchestra. Prayer was offered by Rev. F. B. Plummer.
Miss Sue J. Tolan read a well written essay on “ The Gift o f
the Gods. ’ ’ She showed how the gods gave certain gifts to every
one. They may differ, but the law of compensation prevails and
t every person has some special gift.
The chorus, under the direction of Miss Gray, charmingly
rendered “ Barbara Frietchie,” by Jules Jordan.
Earle H. Schaeffer delivered the declamation, “ The Chariot
Race, from Ben Hur. He spoke in fine voice and his effort was
much appreciated.
The Commencement address was delivered by Rev. James
D. Moffat, D. D., EE. D., the distinguished President of Wash­
ington and Jefferson College, and one of the leading lights o f
Presbyterianism in the United States. It was simply magnificent.
He took as his subject, “ Common Sense in Education,“: and
showed in clear and eloquent language the need of practical and
thorough methods in imparting knowledge. We greatly regret
that space will not permit publishing his entire speech.
Dr. Martin in graceful language then presented the diplomas
to the class of 1908 and addressed them briefly with kindly words
of advice and cheer.
The portrait of the late Dr. Eckels was then presented to
the school by Mr. A . E. Underwood in behalf of the class of 1905.
As it was placed on the front of the platform, the audience ap­
plauded for several minutes. Prof. J. S. Heiges received it in
behalf of the school.
“ Estudiantina” was then sung by the chorus.
Roy D. Knouse then delivered an oration on “ The Ideal
Citizen.” He showed that the true citizen was one who educates
his hand, his head and his heart.
The benediction was then pronounced by Rev. C. O. Bosserman and the school life of 92 young men and women in the Cum­
berland Valley State Normal School was ended.

day evening. This was the closing event of the week and was a
pronounced success in every particular. The Harrisburg orches­
tra played the dance program of twenty dances in brilliant style
and despite the intense heat the floor was crowded for every
number and the merry dancers seemed to be affected in no way
by the weather.
The gymnasium is an ideal place to hold a dance, the floor
being fine for dancing, and the large gallery afforded a large num­
ber of spectators a good chance to view the dancers as they glided
over the smooth floor in the dreamy waltz or the inspiring two-step.
Eleven thirty came entirely too quickly and all were loath
to depart, but everyone left feeling that it was one of the most
successful dances ever held in the Normal.
The commencement week of 1908 was one of the most pleas­
ant ones ever held in the history of the school. The memories o f
it will linger long in the minds of the participants and the class
of 1908 will never forget the final happy days which they spent
in the Cumberland Valley State Normal.

faculty IRotes.
Dr. and Mrs. Martin and family will spend the summer in
their handsome new residence at the entrance of Normal campus.
Prof. Heiges expects to pass his vacation at his home in
Shippensburg. He will not travel for the school, but will enjoy
the simple life during the heated months.
Dr. Gordinier will remain at the Normal during the greater
portion of the summer. He commences his Institute work about
the middle of August.
Miss Hattie Wylie, the popular assistant in the Model School,
contemplates a trip to the Bermudas some time during vacation.
Prof. Newman will spend the summer at his home in Fay­
etteville. Doubtless the energetic Prof, will secure a great many
rare botanical and geological specimens during his many walks
o’er field and dale.
Dr. Eldon, as is his custom during the vacation, will try his
hand at farming at his beautiful farm near Shippensburg. The
Doctor is an expert tiller of the soil.
Prof. Stewart expects to spend the summer in peace and quiet
at his home in Towanda. Incidentally, he will read a little Latin.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL, HRRAL,D

Change of Ceacbers.
Profs. Adams, Crunkleton and Cure will not return next
year.
Prof. C. C. Goas, a graduate of Princeton University and a
teacher of experience, has been secured to take charge of the
history and geography department. Mr. Goas comes to us highly
recommended and we are sure that he will be a most valuable
addition to the faculty.
Miss Ethel Davie, who has been the head of the Model School
for the past four years, much to the regret of all, has resigned her
position to accept a more lucrative one in Girard College, Phila.
Miss Davie has done excellent work here and has turned out
many successful teachers. While deeply regretting her departure,
we wish her God speed in her new field of labor.
The school is particularly fortunate in having selected as a
successor to Miss Davie, one who is thoroughly qualified in every
way to take up her work. Miss Harris, the new head of the Model
School, has had eight years experience in the work and bears the
very highest testimonials. We heartily welcome her into our
school and feel certain that under her management the Model
School will continue to prosper and do most efficient work.
