But it was Lincoln himself whose Inalght and splendid expression Illuminated the true purpose of our assembly at national shrines It was he who at Gettysburg called upon the people not so much to mourn the dead as to honor them by a rededication of themselves to the service of their country. He said In that memorable address- "It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here great task remaining before us. That should be our purpose and resolve today. "The six decades which have passed since -Lincoln's death have written on the scroll of history changes bewildering In their verity, momentous In their consequences. They have broadened and enriched life beyond the Imaginations of contemporaries.

The years have nbt only yielded rich treasures, material and spiritual, but they have brought challenges to readjustment, both by government and individuals, to a changing world. Our country has become powerful among nations. It Is charged with infinitely new responsibilities both at home and abroad. What a poet has called the endless adventure, the government of men, discloses new and changing human needs from generation to generation. As we scan our hlstcfry ever since his day, who can doubt Lincoln's own words that our national heritage Is "worth the keep- Ing." "The eternal principles of truth, justice, and right, never more clearly stated than by Lincoln, remain the solvent for the problems and perplexities of every age and of our day.

It is to those who, like Lincoln, have made these principles serve the needs of mankind that the world pays Its homage. At hia shrine we light the torch of our rededication to the service and ideals of the nation which he loved and served with the last full measure of devotion."
