BENJAMIN BUSHROD TYLER
American clergyman (1840 - 1922)

Abraham Lincoln was a man of profound faith. He believed in God.
He believed in Christ. He believed in the Bible. He believed in
men. His faith made him great. His life is a beautiful
commentary on the words, "This is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith." There was a time in Lincoln's experience
when his faith faltered, as there was a time when his reason
tottered; but these sad experiences were temporary, and Abraham
Lincoln was neither an infidel nor a lunatic. It is easy to
trace in the life of this colossal character a steady growth of
faith. This grace in him increased steadily in breadth and in
strength with the passing years, until it came to pass that his
last public utterances show forth the confidence and the fire of
an ancient Hebrew prophet.
