Belford be the amount of good we do to others. The law of com- pensation, under whatever guise it appears, proclaims that what we do to others, we, in reality, do to ourselves, whether it be good or evil, right or wrong. And the law is eternal. The greatest sufferer from injustice is he who works it, the greatest injury from hate is to him who indulges it. We have only what we give — love or malice — and it is reflected back upon our own hearts. As it is with men, so it must be with nations of ...men. So it was with Lincoln. By giving freedom to the slaves, he won the moral support of civilization. It strengthened our armies, for- tified our cause, sustained the weak and timid, banished doubts and misgivings, and turned defeat into victory. The slave had, in fact, brought to the Emancipator the strength and courage that he needed to fight his way to the light. They were four terrible years ; a conflict, the greatest in all the annals of time, had rent and split us asunder. Untold millions of treasure, thousands of precious lives, a wreek-streAvn country were but a part of its awful cost.
