Excerpt from The Abraham Lincoln Centre and All Souls Church Annual: Reports of 1908; With an Account of the Lincoln Centennial, February 7-13, 1909 It has been a good year in Lincoln Centre notwithstanding the financial depression and the Presidential election. The reports Of all the departments will show increased attendance and go to show that they daily justify their existence and the cost of their maintenance. The Charitable Section, under Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Babbitt, has been doing most valuable work. As far as support is concerned, the weak spots are the Library, the Missionary and the Music Sections. The great achievement of the year is the completion of the Woman's Endowment Fund of ten thousand dollars. About ten thousand dollars of the men's portion of the Endowment Fund is provided for, leaving about eighty thousand dollars still to be raised. The new department, the Kindergarten, meeting a longfelt want of the neighborhood, is being supported by an unknown friend. This gift has come to us through the good offices of Miss Amalie Hofer. The installation of the Lincoln Tablets, the Gettysburg Address and the Farewell Address at Springfield, presented by Mr. Jones to the Centre, was an event to be remembered.
