Excerpt from The Message of Lincoln: A Sunday Lecture by the Rabbi of the Rodeph Shalom Congregation, Pittsburgh, February 12, 1911 Lincoln has grown in that proportion during the forty five years ago since the assassin's bullet laid him low. You may rightly ask why it is that the American people teachers, students, clergymen; why, throughout the world, men of the same class, everywhere, are unam mous in their appreciation of this rugged backw'oodsman, this lawyer, this gaunt, homely man who, in the most strenuous period of American civilization, served this people? And the best answer I can give to you today is to tell you the bare outline of a play I saw in London about fifteen months ago, and which brought home to me, more clearly than anything I have ever read con -cerning Lincoln, the great service he rendered to human ity. The play is called La Foi, and is written by M. Brieux, the celebrated French playright. It is in four acts and the fourth act has two scenes. With the title of False Gods it was performed in London under the direction of Sir Herbert b'eerbohm-tree, who was kind enough to lend me the manuscript of the play from which Inprepared this brief summary.
