THE WEATHER North Coun, mostly cloudy tonight Ind Wednesday, prcfcsMy shpwe:s en the t?as& President Harding Says Lincoln Would Have Compromised With Slavery While Cleaving to the Inheritance Handed Down by the Fathers. . (By The Associated Press.) WASHINGTON'. May 30. "Main tained union and nationality," rather than "emancipation," was declared to be tho supreme chapter iu American his tory by President Harding in an address today accepting the Lincoln memorial in behalf of the American hero. Lincoln would have compromised with slavery, Mr. Harding declared, while cleaving to his great purpose the maintenance of the "inheritance handed down by the founding fathers." Declaring that the new memorial was fittingly placed near the towering spire of the Washington monument, Mr. Hard ing said that Washington, the founder, and 'Lincoln, the savior, "offered out standing proof that a representative popular government, constitutionally founded, can find its own way to salva tion and accomplishment." Tho President spoke in part as fol lows : "Mr. Chief Justice: It is a supreme satisfaction officially to accept on be half of the Government this superb mon ument to the savior of the republic x x x. Somehow my emotions inclino me to speak simply as a reverent and grateful American rather than one in official re sponsibility. XXX. In every moment of peril, in every hour of discouragement, whenever the clouds gather, there is the image of Lincoln to rivet our hopes and to renew our faith. Whenever there is a glow of triumph over national achieve ment there comes the reminder that but for Lincoln's heroic and unalterable faith in the union, these triumphs colli d not have been. X X. ' ' The supreme chapter in history is not emancipation, though that achieve ment would have exalted Liucoln throughout all the ages. The simpln truth is that 'Lincoln, recognizing an established order, would have coin promised with the slavery that eisted, if he could have halted its extension. Hat ing human slavery as he did, he doubt less believed in its ultimate abolition through the developing conscience of the American people, but he would have been the last man m. the republic to resort to arms to effect its ii'bolition. Emancipa tion was a means to the great end ; maintained union and 'natimVirJ". "" rTer'o was the purpose, hero the towering hope, here the miprcnin faith'. X X X The ... , . A , union must be preserved. It was the utral thought, the 'unalterable .purpose, the unyielding intent, the foundation of faith. XXX Here was the great ex periment popular government and constitutional union menaced by greed expressed , in human chattels. With the greed restricted and un, threatening, he could temporize. When it challenged Federal authority and threatened the union, it pronounced its own doom. XXX He recognized the conflicting viewpoints, differing policies and controverted questions. But there were constitutional methods of settle ment, iiiol these must be employed. "In the first inaugural address iit stressed the great general principle that, " 'In our constitutional controversies we did divide into majoritie s and minorities. If the minority will not iciii-scc, the majority must, or tne j .nill((,l(. immt c(1 ;,,,,.,. alternative, f cease. There is no r continuing, th government is acquiescence on one sides,ro"K sermon, taking as his text Hit lor the other. If the minority in such lease will secede rather than ucquiescece, I they make a precedent which in turn will divide and ruin them. XXX Plainly the central idea of secession is the essence of anarchy. A majority held in restrain by constitutional cheeks :iiid limitations, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popu lar opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people. Who ever rejects it does, of necessity, fly to anarchy or despotism.' "Here spoke the statesman, proclaim ing deliberate public opinion as the Su preme power of civilization, easily to he written into law when conviction should cmnmand. It ought to be tonic to the waning confidence of those of today who grow impatient that empha.ied minority views are not hurried into the majority expressions of the republic. Deliberate public opinion never fails. "Liter, closing his first inaugural, when rnxiety gripped the nations t.hrre spoke the generous, forgiving, tlietic man of undaunted faith sympa " 'I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friend?. We must not 1e enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonhj of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave, to every living heart and heart st one, all over this broad lind, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as they surely will be, by the better angels of our nature.' "But he appealed in vain. Pa.ion was aflame and war was made the arbi ter. Americans fought Americans with eqnttX courage and valor. There was an ambiguity in the constitution, which on ly a baptism in blood could efface. One may only speculate on what another might have done, Jnit fate seems to have summoned the one great hero licst fitted to lead to the union s salvation. "His faith wtis inspiring, his resolu- tion commanding, his svfpathy reasiiur ; infr. Lis feimplitiiy fnlinting, his patience j unfailing. He vas watn, piti.-tc, ' courage, with hs tiead above the clouds, 1 unmoved by the fciorui which ig a bout his feet. "No leader was every more unsparing ly -ritiojed or luoro bitterly assailed. He -was lathed by angry totgues, and ,rii!-'jlei jj. pjoc gprH yttil i-i drank from as bitter a cup as was ever put to human lips, but his faith was un shaken and his patience never exhausted. Bono ono sent recently an illumed and framed quotation which fell from hi lips when tho storm of criticism was at its height: " 'If I were trying to read,' he said, "much less answer all the attacks iuada on me, this shop might us well bo closed for any other business. I do tho best I know how, the very best I can ; and I mean to kep on doing it to the end. If the end brings me out all right, what JS said against me will not amount to any thing. If the end 'brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.' "He knew, of course, before tho assas sin robbed him of fuller realization, that tho end was 'bringing him out all right. XXX He knew that in tho great cruiciblo of tiro and blood the dross had ben burned from the misdi rected patriotism of seceding states and the pure gold restored to shining stars in dear Old Glory again. XXX But 1 cannot restrain the nish that he might somehow know the monuments to his memory throughout the world, and that we are dedicating today, on behalf of a grateful nation, this matchless memo rial, whoso forty eight columns, repre senting forty eight states in tho concord of union, testify that the 'end brought him out all right.'

Last night, to n congregation that crowded the galleries, aisles and door ways, Rev. O. i3. Kirkpatrick, at Main .Street Methodist church, preached a words commonly known as the Mispuh benediction. "The Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent one from another." The sermon was couch ed in expressive language and was un der three headings: First, that the Bible does not recognize real separation in this life letwoen believers; second, no real separation comes even in death to those and 'lietwcni those who love v hriM ; num. the real separation comes at the judgment when the sheep are to be separated from the goats I Men's I The singing of the tshelby Chorus, with Mr. Josh Lattimore as! leader was much en joyed by the large congregation. They came, twenty strong, and sang with deep feeling the songs of the church which from time im memorial have stirred the hearts of both sinners and Christians. This morning to a splendid week day morning congregation Mr. Kirkpatrick again preached. His subject was "Per sonal .Responsibility " and he chose for a ;trxt jonn j. 54.42. '-He first fiindeth his own brother Simon and he brougat him to Jesus." The speaker stressed the fact that last nigni crowded eondition was not con dircive to great results but that it w.n ajto ,)H th u splendid time for seed sowing. This , wni(f 0 f.r n j -s t-vc-iuuK, uc pleaded, must see person u work being done in the congregation. Personal work has made the church, ha made Methodism and was tin method used by Christ himself. Picked fruit i always best, ho declared. John 3: 18, the wortTs which Luther J declared to be tpc Bible in a nutshe'l , the preacher pointed out, were spok m to just one man, Nicodemns.

EACH MUST GIVE AN ' ACCOUNT UNTO GOD Rev. Dr. Bruner Emphasizes Our Personal Responsibility to Him Special Sermon Tonight to Men and Boys. At last nig4it 's service at the First. Baptist church Dr. Bruuer spoke on llm theme that each one of us must give an account of ourselves to dod. We arc responsible to tod for our acts, lie sai.l that if God should suspend the ten commundinents for 24 hours this world would be a hell, and that if ioi would withhold His law of gravitation for a fractional part of a lniiuitu this world would be in chaos. Dr. Bruner boHeves in reformatories. Speaking to the superintendent of a cer tain reformatory he asked hist the ques tion, "where do these boys come from, what do you do with them and where are they goingf" The superintendent ans wered him that many of the hoys come from homes whore the father is dead, 01 had deserted his family, and that the boy had gotten beyond the control of the mother and that they were brought there and placed under religious influence and trained in many useful occupations in life and that 9t per cent of them were sent out from tho institution to beimo useful, honorable citizens. The secret ot it all was that, tho suiicrintciulcut was L genuiue (liristian and lived what he professed before those boys. He also stated that the teaching of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus was that the reward of the righteous comes immediately after death and that the punishment of the uniidly like wise comes immediately after death. Ho believe" that there are degrees in heau n and also degrees of puiiislinint in hades. He spoke to an appreciative audience at the morning service and it was good to note the number of pastors present. He will preach a special sermon to night for men and Ixiys, but all are invited. At the morning service he preached on the text: "If a man die, shall he live again?" Job 14: It. It has been ask ed, "What is death?" h-nn. h;ne said that is was a cessation of life and t h -n I the question comes, "What is life."' lr. primer confesse.l that know, t.nt that this was om he did not of 1 he many hidden mysteries of !od. or one among His many secrets, but tha' lie Udieve! that all secrets would be rev.a'.d to us wlen we reach that, heau'k home. lb- says that death is the end of nir worldly opportunities, luit. for 'hri-t i: n it is on ly the beginning of a lit", of . 1 d t st vice.

A na tion's tribute to its glorious dead reach ed its climax today nt the dedication of the Memorial erected beside the Poto mac to Abraham Lincoln by his grate ful countrymen. A former President headed the commission which has laT ished endless thought on making this stone emblem of American gratitude worthy of the man whoso memory it will perpetuate for Americans always. The President iu person accepted tho work in the nation's name. Spread across the wide terraces, tho tawns and the circling driveways .that have been wrought to give the memorial building a setting, were thousands of Americans and the most distinguished men iu this country from foreign lands also came to pay their homage at this new shrine of democratic, liberty. Close in about the rising tiers of marble steps were gathered the meii who today hold iu their hands the des tinies of that government "of people, for the people and by the people,'' which Lincoln gave his life to main tain, but behind these over a milo wiilo sweep of the Mall ami clear away to the base of Washington monumeut a mile distant from the memorial were the common folks from whom Lincoln came and for whom he toiled endlessly until he was cut down by an assassin's bullet. . - 4 Foremost among the men who gath ered at this culminating ceremony of Decoration Day were the aged veteruiis of the Grand Army of the Republic, men who at Lincoln 'a cull put aside their citizenship for a little while for the blue of the army uniforms mid fought out. fhe ipicstion of the American 'na tionality as one people under ono' ' cof eminent . .1 ' To these' old soldiers wllo knew Lijn ;iml obeyed him in life wns given tho place of honor in paying this hist and greatest tribute to the leader under whom they served.

The uniforms of the veteraus and of the military attaches 11ml the marines who guarded and patrolled the path ways through the great throng wero tho only signsj today of military life except that the officers and men of the Brit-' ish flagship Raleigh, now at Washing ton navy yard, were mingled with tho thousands of Americans who stood to hear what former President Taft and President Harding had to say.
