Excerpt from The Religious Opinions and Life of Abraham Lincoln As page after page was read, oh, so pitifully painful, again and again the thought persistently obtruded itself that Mr. Christian had been performing the fine - tooth-comb act. He seems to have gotten together all the awful things that have been said in derogation of Mr. Lincoln; at least if there are any worse ones I certainly never have heard of them.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and Religion: Lutheran In order to secure financial support for the University, the trustees had authorized, in 1852, the sale of perpet nal scholarships for the suni of $300: The owner of a scholarship enjoyed the permanent privilege of sending one student to college without further charge of tuition. If the owner did not wish to pay the principal of the scholarship, he could enjoy the same privilege providing he paid the interest amounting to six per cent each year. The latter plan was used by Lincoln to send his son, Robert Todd, to this new school. The college ledger re veals that Lincoln purchased on October 1, 1852, the scholarship of P. C. Canedy, a Springfield druggist. The payments of interest were prompt and complete, con tinuing until April 27, 1860.

Excerpt from The Riddle of Lincoln's Religion When Believe-it-or-not Ripley recently told his nation-wide radio audience that Abraham Lincoln committed the entire Bible to memory, he must have relied for acceptance of this unfamiliar claim upon the gullible nature of the American people who readily believe all reports of piety ascribed to their Sixteenth President. The statement was a fabulous exaggeration, but it did renew interest in the controversy. Regarding Lincoln's religious beliefs which has been waged for more. Than three quarters of a century. What was the character of his faith? Was he an atheist or an agnostic, or did he give his assent to the doctrines prescribed by any of the several Christian Churches of his day?
