On the twelfth amy of February next 1 will occur the one hundredth anniver- - sary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. • By the law of our Statp his birthday ' has been made an annual legal holiday ; but the coming anniversary of his " birth demands more than the custom- » ar.v observance. Born in obscurity, when the place of • his birth and early manhood, that is [ now a part of the great middle west, > was on the frontier of the republic, • and reared amidst privations and hardships, with few. if any, of the advantages now obtainable by the youth of our day. he surmounted all difficulties ■ and rose[by sheer oereonal merit to the 1 presidency of the republic and died a • martyr's death when but fifty-six years '• of age. -A

confidence of the people. He sprang s from them, was of them, and they • loved and honored him. His life and work are unique in 8 American history. To recall his humble birth, his privations, sacrifices, , virtues, utterances, principles and public services, is to encourage youth, ' strengthen the cause of truth and right in all men. and to elevate our standards of political honesty. ' Therefore, I, John Franklin Fort, ® Governor of the State of New Jersey, do hereby call upon all [municipalities • in the State, all public organi rations, r clubs, posts of the Grand Army of the Republic, public schools and all civic 1 societies to cause suitable exercises to be arranged for on said twelfth day of ' February next, or near thereto, that j the memory of this great American > 1 may be suitably commemorated ; and I ! do further recommend that the clergy I , of the State shall, either upon the Sab- ' r bath preceding or succeeding the anni- ' versary of his birth, devote one service | in their respective places ul worship to j appropriate exercises, i Given under my hand and seal, at the i Executive Chamber, in the City of 1 Trenton, this eighteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord one i , thousand nine hundred and nine, and c
