The Commander, Hon. Julius B, Bissell, proposed the toast: A braham Lincoln, the Best Product of Universal Opportunity, and introduced the Hon. George H. Yeaman, of New York, who responded. Mr. Commander, Companions of the Order of the Loyal Legion. Ladies and Gentlemen The study of the life, character and public services of A braham Lincoln is of national import to us and bears a message to the whole human race. He tvas the best product of universal opportunity. If Lincoln be now second to any figure in American history, it is only to him who was pronounced first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his fellow citizens. But there is a lesson, a perpetual message, in the life of Lincoln closer to the people than any found in the life of Washington one that will keep the two side by side so long as the history of the American republic shall be read.
