"To the Ages!" well you spoke it, Stanton of the massive mind! He belongs, the years have shown it, to the world of human kind! Heard his story, where'er hearts throb o'er the world's far spreading way; Heard his story, children listen at the closing of the day; Heard his story, lovers speak it in their hushed and saddened tones As they wander in the twilight, dreaming of their coming homes; Heard his story, statesmen tell it, with a thrill of pride and truth; Heard his story, old men speak it to the country's growing youth. And the years have shown the Prophets, and the years have shown the Sages; Writ in fire these words of wisdom, "He belongs now to the Ages!" [Illustration: ABRAHAM LINCOLN President] [Illustration: EDWIN M. STANTON Secretary of War] Marion Mills Miller was born at Eaton, Ohio, February 27, 1864. He was graduated from Princeton in 1886, and for several years thereafter was an instructor there in the English department. In 1889 he received the degree of Doctor of Literature from his Alma Mater. Since 1893 he has been engaged in literary and social reform work in New York City. He has published some verse and fiction, but his most notable work has been in the fields of translation and history. He has edited _The Classics--Greek and Latin_ (15 volumes), published in 1909, and _Great Debates in American History_ (14 volumes), published in 1913. In 1907 he edited the Centenary Edition of _The Life and Works of Abraham Lincoln_ in 10 volumes, logically arranged for ready reference. The _Life of Lincoln_ was published separately in 1908 in two volumes. It is based on a manuscript by Henry C. Whitney, whose name it bears as author, although the second volume, _Lincoln, the President_, was largely written by Dr. Miller. The late Major William H. Lambert, president of the Lincoln Fellowship, called it "the best of the shorter biographies of Lincoln." Dr. Miller has also edited _The Wisdom of Lincoln_ (1908), a small book of extracts from Lincoln's speeches and writings. He wrote the following poem, "Lincoln and Stanton," especially for THE POETS' LINCOLN.
