What have they meant? They have
meant peace and anion and vigour
and the maturity and might of a
great nation. How wholesome and

have found one another again as
zzl epiips no longer,. lODfirom friends
rather, our battles long past, the
quarrel forgotten?except that we
shall not forget the splendid valor,
the manly devotion of the men then
arrayed against one another, now
grasping hands and smiling into
into each other's grasp. How complete
the union baa become and how
dead to all of as. how unquestioned,
how benign and majestic, as State
after State has been*added to this
onr great family of free men? How
handsome the vigour, the maturity,
the might of the great Nation wo
love .with undivided hearta; how full
of largo and confident promise that
a life will be wrought out that will
crown its Strength with gracious Justice
and with a happy welfare that
will touch all alike with deep contentment!
We are debtors to those

to the moral judgment of mapklnd
to take notice, that a government
had now at lest been established
which was to servo men, not
masters? It is secure In everything
oxcept the satisfaction that its'life
is right, adjusted to the uttermost
to the standards of righeousnesB
and humanity. The days of sacrifice
and. cleansing- are.- not-closed*
We have harder things to do than
were dono in the heroic- days of war,
because harder to see clearly, requiring
more vision, more calm balance
of judgment, a more candid
searching Of the vary springs of
right.
Look around you upon the field of
Gettysburg! Picture the array, the
fierce heats an dagony of battio, column
hurled against column, battery
bellowing to battery! Valour? Yes!
Greater no man shall see in war;
and self-sacrifice, and lota to the uttermost;
the high recklessness of exalted
devotion which does not count
the cost. We are made by these
tragic, epic thlpfp^oLknow- what -ft
costs to makf a nation?the hloou
and sacrifice of multitudes of unknown
men lifted to a great stature
in the view of all generation# by
knqwlag no limit to their manly
willingness to serve. In armies
thus marshaled from the ranks of
free men you will see, as it were, a
nation embattled, the leaders and

May we broak camp now and be at
ease? Are tho forces tkat fight for
the Natlcn dispersed, disbanded,
gone to their homes forgetful of the
common cause? Ate bur forces disorganised
without constituted leaders
and the might of men consciously
united bcchuse we contend, uot
with armies, but with principalities
and powers and wickedness In high

Dos j our union mean sympathy, our

aDd a clear confidence in choos,'n*r
what we shall do? War fitted
us for action, and action never

I here been chosen the leader of
the Nation. I can not Justify the
choice by any qualities of my own,
but s-t it has come about, and here
I stand. Whom do 1 command? The
ghostly hosts who fought upon these
battle fields long ago and are gone?
These gallant gentlemen ilncken in
yean, whose fighting days are over,
their glory won? What are the orders
for them, and who rallies them?
I have In my mind another boat,
whom these set free of civil strife In
order that they might work out in
days of peace and settled order the
life of t great Nation. That host is
the people themselves, the great and
the small, without class or difference
of klnd*or race or origin; and*undivided
IivJnterest. if we have but the
vision to guide and direct them and
order their lives aright in what we
do. Our constitutions are their nr
tlelea oi enlistment. Tho orders of
the day are the laws upon our statuto
books. What we strive for is
their freedom, tholr right to lift
;fcamsa'vtM from day to day and behold
the things they hava hoped for,
an.l so make way for still belter days
for iho-e whom they love who aro to
