Lincoln Comforting a Dying Soldier Boy

American soldiers will look on this picture with great interest. Abraham Lincoln is seen here comforting a dying soldier boy. He was the President of the United States, during the period of the fearful civil war over the slavery question, between the Armies of the North and South. Frequently he went among the boys of the Northern Army encouraging them, and visiting the wounded on the battlefield, and comforting them with messages from the Bible—pointing them to the Saviour of mankind. He was a great and a good man. Thank God there are many today who, on these awful battlefields, are pointing dying men to the Lord Jesus, and may many an American soldier find the way of Life from their ministrations.
