h Magnanimous Lincoln
the character of Abraham . 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.
