Lincoln has bccii treated froty' every angle. More has been .written of him than .of any other man in modem history. Few, indeed, in the j chronicles of mankind have been subjected tc such minute ' analysis. Three score years have passed since he was in lifei: yet he is still tho subject of increasing study. The more men leam of him tho more they seek to know. They would more fully reveal the actuating principles of that grerft heart. '. Lincoln had many sides. Yet the trail which most com pletely differentiates him from others was his magnanimity. This has been dwelt on many times but it cannot be recalled too'bfteii, because in being without envy, apparently , know ing nothing of jealousy, ready to disregard petty faults of associates in contemplation of the work they could do, he exhibited a phase of character that places, him on u plane standing alone. While he was an able trial lawyer, could express himself in purest English, possessed remarkable clarity of Vision as to logical results, others too have ex celled in ono or ' more of thesf lines. But in li is broad . spirit-of tolerance, in ignoring petty plots, in. his generosity he had no rivals, lie did not want personal adulation, but he did demand (hat those who worked with him should labor for the preservation of the Ljnion. That was his great and enduring purpose. Vet 'Lincoln was not subservient. Ho' was iii;ijviiniiiiiitiii;,; hut" in principles was firmness itKclf . lie chose men for thef'usc he could make of them -ami he cared -nolltitij"-for gratitude in return, lie wirs ever ready to sacrifice per sonal feeling and iuteicsl to public' good, lie had humility but! there was no abasement about it. Perhaps it is for his: greatness of soul approaching divine immanence more ,thaji for the stupendous work he accomplished in saving the union that the character of Abraham Lincoln has chal lenged the admiration of tho people of bis native land not i-nf but also in the study of people in many lands and speaking many diverse tongues. Great as were his achieve ments, in his generous nature was he rarest and most apart from .other men. ; Was It Significant? ''( The United Stales for two decades has been rushing 'headlong toward a bureaucracy without realizing its destina tion. At Washington and at the capitals of the various states bureau after bureau has been created. The result lias; been manifold. Administration buildings have become inadequate, the ranks of jobholders have been multiplied, 'nothing is fiee fiom government intervention, either Ihrough registration or censorship, nnd the tax burden has reached the "last straw" stage. , poverninenl in this land of democracy and freedom was once impeisonal. It existed for the protection of the coni moi wealth and the citizenry and confined itself to only tho .necessary functions of government. This early goveru meli't was described by Thomas Jefferson as the I test gov ernment because it governed least. "'".The American government is no longer the government vt Jefferson. Neither me the state governments as in- lioeuous as formerly. At the national and state capitals liuvc sprung tip depaitments and bureaus for everything conceivable. Some are fur educational purposes, others for " ecqiioniic duties mid still otiieis for the physical, moral ir jfiiuncinl pmtertion of the public. There is little hyper bole in the statement that everything that is not licensed is registered, censored or regulated. While this country was criticizing the Ktimpean bureaucracies it was wrapping itself in an inextricable tannic oT red tape. The people were told that every new bureau meant progress and be lieved it. Was the defeat of the child labor amendment the- liirning iminl in public opinion? Lincoln t GeltysbiM 0URSC0RE and seven years ago out fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived" in liberty, and dedi cated to the proposition that all men aie created eqtial. Now we are enpged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for ihose who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It . is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. . But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicates we cannot consecrate we' cannot hallow this ground. ' The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before ns that from those honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause fof which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly tesofve that these dead shaD not have died in vain that this nation, under Cod, shaD have a new birth of freedom and that government of the peo ple, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth.
