There Was No King in Israel
Sermon by Mark SchindlerTwo days ago marked the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth on February 12, 1809. As a significant figure in American history, his birthday was once considered a day of remembrance in many states, though not a national holiday. From about 1879 through 1970, schools and local government offices often closed to honor this day, and educational efforts focused on memorializing Lincoln and the period in which he lived, along with the legacy historians attribute to him. Despite the proximity of his birthday to George Washington's, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968, which moved Washington's birthday to the third Monday in February starting in 1971, did not officially combine the two observances. Contrary to popular belief, this day remains designated as Washington's birthday, not a combined President's Day, though it is often mistakenly thought to honor both Lincoln and Washington or any president of choice. Over time, the distinct memorial for Lincoln has been watered down and distorted within the self-serving minds of men. Additionally, in grammar school, children were required to memorize and recite Lincoln's most recognizable speech, delivered on November 19, 1863, at the dedication ceremony of the cemetery at Gettysburg, underscoring the importance of remembering his contributions to American history.
