He said: Mr. Commander.

and you men and women of United States who owe your belmr here to what was done by the men of the great Civil War. I greet you and thank you for the honor done me in asking me to be present this day. SK It Is a good custom for our country to have certain solemn holidays in commemoration of our greatest men and of the greatest crises in our history. There should be but few such holidays. To increase their number is to cheapen, them.

I did the greatest and most necessary task which has ever fallen to the lot of any men on i this Western Hemisphere. Nearly three centuries have passed since the waters of our coasts were first furrowed by the kfels of the men whose children's children were to inherit this fair land. Over a century and a half of colonial growth followed the settlement; and now for over a century and a quarter we have been a nation. During our four generations of national life we have had to do many tasks, and some of them of far reaching importance; but the only really vital task was one you did. the task of savins the Union.

There were other crises in which have gone wrong would have meant disaster; but this was the one crisis in which to have gone wrong would have- meant not merely disaster, but annihilation. For failure at other point atonement could have been made: but had you failed in the iron days the loss would have irreparable, the defeat Irretrievable. Upon your success depended all the future of the people on this continent, and much of the future of mankind as a whole. You left as reunited country. You left us the right of brotherhood with the men In gray.

who with such courage and such devotion for what they deemed the right, fought against you. But you left us much more even than your achievement, for you left us the memory of how it was achieved. You. who made good by yourvalor and patriotism 111 statesmanship of Lincoln and the soldiership of Grant, have set as the standards foe our efforts in the future both the way you did your work in war and way in wales, when the war was over you turned again to the work peace.
