VV'e all have to form our own characters. They are not given us, and we have to develop them to suit ourselves. Lin- coln had to form his character, and he based it on sense, cour- age, and truth. Wfe should base ours on these principles, in order to make ourselves most fit for the world, and the things we must do. If everyone were like Lincoln, his greatness would dis- appear. Everyone cannot be like Lincoln, so he remains un- equaled and unparalleled, while we struggle to obtain his greatness. The road to greatness is peculiar. For example, the statesman Cecil Rhodes when a boy had consumption. He went to Afrfca where he made a large fortune in diamonds. He pushed the British boundaries far into that continent. When he died he was buried on a hill in Africa, and now stu- dents, travelers, and all kinds of people visit his grave and remember his greatness. Lincoln's character began to grow while he was reading the few books he could get hold of. He lived in a time when people made their own opinions regardless of anyone else. Lincoln's opinions had purity, straightness, and some thought of the other fellow in them. All his actions and opinions were in the light, nothing that he did was hidden from the people. lf the countries of Turkey, Russia, Italy, Germany, and Japan l'ad these methods, there would be no fear of what they would do next. If the world had Lincolnis stability of purpose there wouldn't be any war debts or Arms Conferences. If the world had Lincoln's straightness and unselfishness, there would be no jealousy between the countries. H I Lincoln gave to the world a sweep of universal policy. All people were his brothers, the Northerners, the Southern- ers and negroes. We should have a universal policy. The success of the countries of Europe and other continents is our success. their failure, our failure. Qur attention to the VVorld Court should be one of diplomacy and association, but not
