GEORGE H. SMYTHE, JR.
American no available biographical information

Next to Washington, Lincoln stands forth as the grandest patriot
in our American life. Washington was the "Father of his
Country"; Lincoln was her most loyal son; Washington brought the
United States of America into being; Lincoln made that being
immortal; Washington unfurled a new flag among the nations of the
world; Lincoln made that flag a mighty power among those nations.
Dead, they yet speak. The good they did will last through time
and on through eternity. And so our Nation has most rightly and
fittingly made the birthdays of these, her illustrious sons,
legal holidays, to inspire us to a purer, nobler, holier manhood.
- [Lincoln's Birthday]
