Excerpt from Proceedings at the Twenty-Second Annual Lincoln Dinner of the Republican Club of the City of New York: Held at the Waldorf-Astoria Celebrating the Ninety-Ninth Anniversary of the Birthday of Abraham Lincoln, Wednesday, February 12, 1908
Bless, O Lord, our gathering to-night, our eating and drinking, our commemoration of a great man, one who was an optimist, who always hoped for the best, and who had the courage to wait; one who loved Thy children and all life so much that to his clear intelligence and to his profound sympathy nothing was common or unclean; the savior who restored freedom to an enslaved race, and who gave consistency to the principles of a republic. Make us, we beseech Thee, worthy of this great American. Amen.
