Lincoln speech on the Bible?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Eva, just one minor quibble. RTL's comment that Herndon was making an a$$ of himself came about in 1866 after the Ann Rutledge lecture.

Thanks for correcting, Rob.

As for the term 'trustee" in this instance I think it's more of a lay leader position that wouldn't necessarily have any connection with the propagation of a religious viewpoint. More like a person being part of the bureaucratic arm of the organization.

Thanks Rob - that was what my question was aiming at - whether in this field such position would require religious "membership" and hence allow to draw conclusions on Robert in this regard.
