Lincoln bodied forth both of them.
He was the genius Of these divine ut

We need both them and him. We can
have him only by looking through his

they represent. 1t is the mighty, the
majestic and the merciful spirit Of
Lincoln that gives them life. 1t is that
which we honor and that which we
need. Show it to mankind, body 1t

rather than honors him.
