WHERE LINCOLN LIVED
The patriotic throngs attending the dedication of
Rutledge Tavern in the restored Lincoln village at New
Salem, June 17, saw the Illinois countryside as Lincoln
loved it.
Nature itself joined in the restoration, providing a
setting of foliage and flowers and green fields in happy
contrast to the drought of recent years.
This is the beautiful country from which Abraham
Lincoln derived his inspiration. The inspiration is still
there, for every American young or old.
Amerca will profit greatly from this restoration of
the scenes of Lincoln's youth. We live in a time when
the road youth must travel is not easy.
But was the way of youth ever easy? Certainly it
was easy in Lincoln’s time.
The thoughtful visitor to the Lincoln village will
gain new appreciation of the depths of courage and of
the indommable fighting spirit of the man who made
his own opportunities in a sphere of such apparent hard
ship and destruction.
The modern youth who can still think life limits
his chances after seeing the setting in which Lincoln’s
early life was lived will lack the qualities of success
which are as necessary in our time as they were in his.
The Lincoln tradition is one of America’s greatest
spiritual assets.
The restored Lincoln village, preserving the phy
sical facts of his career, will give us better understand
ing of the spirit that raised him from a humble cabin
to the emminence of immortality.—Seattle Post Intel
