Lincoln speech on the Bible?

[RJNorton]

I don't know if Lincoln read Smith's book or not, but here's what Herndon thought:

"One thing is true: that the said Reverend Dr. Smith of Scotland presented Lincoln with a book written by said doctor; Lincoln brought it to the office, laid it down, never took it up again to my knowledge, never condescended to write his name in it, never spoke of it to me. Never let me know much about his religious aspirations from 1854 to 1860 in the above line, always appeared different, that scorning all Christian views. It is said by someone here that Lincoln told him that he was about converted, but that man — I do not know and can't find out — is said to be a blab, etc."
