From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
May 1
Charles Dana, Assistant Secretary
of War, once told the president that his young daughter wanted to be introduced
to the President. Lincoln walked over, took up the girl, kissed her and talked
to her. The scene seemed remarkable to Dana because important men of high
office usually lack natural and easy grace in handling a child. With Lincoln
Dana noticed the child felt easy. Without knowing it Lincoln had passed an acid
test!
'There is a calmness to a life
lived in gratitude - a quiet joy.'
- Ralph H. Blum
