Book Description
'The Perfect Tribute' is a short story written by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews, and is also her best known work. It is about the past U.S. president, Abraham Lincoln, depicting him as writing and delivering the Gettysburg Address, then concluding his speech was an utter failure. Later, he comforts a Confederate Captain as he dies in a prison hospital, and the Captain, who does not recognize him, praises the Address as "one of the great speeches in history". The wildly popular story was assigned reading for multiple generations of school children in the United States and may be the most popular book ever published about Lincoln.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tribute of Affection: To the Memory of Rev. John Jennings Blest are the dead who die in thee, O Lord! Henceforth they rest, from all their labors free In that sweet rest they find the full reward For trials borne through patient faith in thee. The Lord, "He giveth his beloved sleep," - They rest in hope, relieved from earthly care; And though for them that sleep in death we weep, They sleep, that where He is they may be there. The Father's house hath many mansions fair; And there did Christ for them a place prepare, Where they may rest, and know no more decay; For sorrow, crying, pain, have passed away. No night is there, and yet no need of sun; For God gives light, - the Lord and light are one: No hunger there, nor thirst, nor any heat; No tear-dimmed eyes, no weary, erring feet. The river, pure, of life, as crystal clear, Forth from the throne is flowing ever near, Their thirst to slake; and, near, the tree of life, Whose leaves do heal the wounds of earthly strife; Whose fruit, most fair, eternal life doth give, That weary, earth-sick souls may eat and live; The Lamb doth lead their feet, and calm their fears, And God himself doth wipe away their tears. Before the throne they serve him day and night. In temple fair, whereof the Lamb's the light; With golden harps, amid the white-robed throng, They raise the glorious, never-ending song: "Salvation to the Lamb, who-once was slain, Salvation to the Lamb who lives again; Salvation to our God upon the throne, Salvation to the triune God alone."

Book Description
Excerpt from A Son's Tribute I was impressed with his genial, social nature on my first attendance at a class recitation. I had studied the languages at home during the intervals of farm work and was not very well qualified to enter a class commencing reading Livy. But that was my classification and I entered the class of twelve students all of whom had studied Latin for two or three years. Our first lesson was, of course, the preface of the history, a page in length. I spent a day and night on its translation and construed only two or three sentences so as to be at all satisfactory. I entered the class greatly depressed and with the determination to request the Professor to transfer me to a. Less advanced class.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Teacher's Tribute Some years ago, there was a boy, in the village of Y named Frank. He was left an orphan, and without property or friends; and his attention was early turned to the means of obtaining a living. As no opening appeared for him ln his native town, he went to the City, where youth from the country are so often corrupted by evil communications, and led to ruin. The first situation he obtained was that of a waiter in a public-house, where he had many temptations. The principal business of the house was during the night. One morning, Frank found a pocket book, containing money to a considerable amount, which had been lost by one of the customers, who, it seems, spent the night in bad company. On his next visit, the customer told the Waiter what had happened; and he inti mated, that, from the company in which he had spent the night, he had not the smallest hope of recovering the money.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memories of a Friend But fate has a capricious way of reversing the natural order of things. Today she is gone, and it has passed into the hands of those most concerned, who have thought it desirable to put the rambling pages into a permanent form; while I am still here to add a last line to the best tribute I can ofier to a cherished friend. It is a faithful, spontaneous, and entirely unsought transcript of things as they passed. The facts, noted down at the moment in my diary, and a few letters tell their own story. If these serve in any measure to recall the gracious and attaching personality of one who lived a full life and went out of it bravely, the simple record, without plan as it is, will have fulfilled its purpose.
