Excerpt from The Oldroyd Lincoln Memorial Collection: Located in the House in Which Lincoln Died It is a great thing, I replied, to see these memen toes of Lincoln, but to me you are far more interesting than your relics. To find a man in this day and genera tion who has devoted his life to a beautiful and sacred ideal is an object lesson, indeed. And it certainly was a treat to enter a holy of holies like that house, sanctified by the thousands of reminders of our hero, and further sanctified by the beautiful, un selfish devotion and love of a man so pure, so unworldly, that he had no thought for anything but the memory of the man whom, alas; he had never even seen. Mr. Oldroyd has waited patiently for Congress to make an appropriation which should make this collection the property of the Nation. Every loyal American citizen ought to stand by that man in his noble effort to perpetuate Lincoln's memory.
