Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Dedication of the Heroic Bronze Statue "Abraham Lincoln-the Hoosier Youth," September 16, 1932: Entrance Plaza of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, Fort Wayne, Indiana There is a Hand which no despair can shorten; there is a Surety which no storm can beat down; there is a Light which no darkness can dim. We thank Thee that Thou hast vindicated to our nation the assurance that the people who put their trust in Thee shall never be put to shame. On this day and in this solemn hour, we pause to thank Thee for the memory 'of one of those whom Thou didst raise up to the nation in a time of stress and darkness. For the humbleness of his spirit; for his breadth of toler ance; for his love of right; for his willingness to endure; for his unfaltering faith in an unfailing God, we give Thee thanks.
