A few weeks ago Christians celebrated the birthday of a god. We come to celebrate the birthday of a man. Within the brief space of twenty-five days occur the anniversaries of the births of the three most remarkable men that have appeared on this continent - Paine, Washington and Lincoln - the Creator, the Defender and the Savior of our Republic. To do honor to the memory of the first of these - to acknowledge our indebtedness to him as a patriot and philosopher, and to extol his virtues as a man - have we assembled here. We come the more willingly and our exercises will be characterized by a deeper earnestness because the one whose merits we celebrate has been the victim of almost infinite injustice.

The world is not prepared to do him full justice yet. Priest-craft, still powerful, uses all its power to prejudice the public mind against him and in too many hearts, where love and gratitude should dwell, ingratitude and hatred have their home.
