Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Religion: A Sunday Lecture by the Rabbi of Rodeph Shalom Congregation, Pittsburg, Pa Kings shall hold their mouth because of him, for that which had not been told them shall they see, and that which they had not heard shall they understand. (Isaiah lii., 15.) The advent of men of genius is an inexplicable event. They are the unanticipated lightning flashes in a wintry sky. They illumine the horizon like an unexpected Aurora Borealis. They break chains. They loosen fetters. They rend shackles. They depose policy and enthrone principle. They pierce the demons of injustice with the glittering sword of right. They are as dew in the heat of the conflict, and water to the soul that thirsts. In a word, they are the incarnation of the spirit of religion. Like the breaking of the dawn they come, the bringers of good tidings. They are the heralds of a new era. They are like the Messiahs, the suffering servants of God, depicted in the fifty-third chapter of the Book of Isaiah. In their day, they are the despised and rejected of men, yet they live long after death. They sow spiritual seed.
