you passed along a FALSE attribution to Abe Lincoln.
The words you quote were written about fifty years after Lincoln’s death.
The words were written by The Rev. William John Henry Boetcker, a Presbyterian minister and notable public speaker in 1916.
Please see the facts of the matter at: http://www.snopes.com/quotes/lincoln/prosperity.asp
http://www.snopes.com is a great source of information about either the validity or falseness of many things you will find passed around. I wish more people would think before accepting anything and everything they hear or read. Misinformation is harmful to democracy.

Thanks for reposting this. At least we can read about it, because it will never happen in our life time.
