Excerpt from The Humble Conqueror: A Discourse Commemorative of the Life and Services of Abraham Lincoln, Preached to the Cambridgeport Parish, April 23, 1865
Not great, as the world judges; not learned; not of the most capacious intellect, or most indomitable will; not of great experience, save in a comparatively humble sphere, he yet did a work, and has left a record, which might humble great and learned men, and make conquerors and heroes ashamed. He was, indeed, a conqueror and a hero of the highest type. Many have conquered others, but he had conquered himself; and he kept self conquered, when, in any other man, the evil principle would have risen up again to mar the beautiful consecration and completeness of his life.
