"Aaron Got His Commission" |
|
President Lincoln was censured for appointing one that had zealously opposed his second term.
He replied: "Well, I suppose Judge E., having been disappointed before, did behave pretty ugly, but that wouldn't make him any less fit for the place; and I think I have Scriptural authority for appointing him.
"You remember when the Lord was on Mount Sinai getting out a commission for Aaron, that same Aaron was at the foot of the mountain making a false god for the people to worship. Yet Aaron got his commission, you know."
(from Lincoln's Yarns and Stories , by Colonel Alexander K. McClure)
