Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Ninetieth Birthday of Lincoln and Darwin: A Sunday Lecture, Before the Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel It was the atmosphere of a home of wealth, of cultured surround ings, of intellectual associationship that Darwin needed for the nurture of great mind. It was the atmosphere of the wretched log-cabin, and the environment of unlettered people, and of unbridled elements and untamed forces that Lincoln required for the nurture of sinewy manhood and of heroic endurance. The sphere of the life-work of the one was to lie in the retreats of nature, and in the seclusion of laboratories and libraries; that of the other was destined to be out in the world, and among the people, and among the very lowest of them as well as among the, very highest. The one needed the ease and opulence so essential for quiet study and patient research and costly experimentation, for he was destined to wage the battle of books against the pretensions of ignorance, and to employ the skill of profound erudition, and to wield as weapons the unconquerable logic of observed and experimented fact. The other required hardship and priva tion, for his was to be a battle, long and fierce, against deep-rooted pre judices and bitter hatreds and intense passions, in which the skill ac quired in the bitter school of adversity, and the knowledge gotten through contact with all sorts and conditions of men, can alone hope for ultimate success. And destiny seemed to have taken precautionary measures, in time, to enforce its wish, for the one it endowed with a delicate constitu tion, and with a shy and reticent nature. To necessitate his retired life within his stud y and laboratory while to the other it gave the physical strength of the giant, and the boldness of the lion, to enforce his entrance into the world, and to enable him to challenge some of its wrongs to mortal combat, and conquer them.
