MI again. Let us retire into our

The earliest settlers In this
country, whether they came with Capt
John Smith, with the Pilgrims. the Pu-
ritans, the Dutch. the Quakers. or the
Catholics. whether they came early in
the seventeenth century or whether
they came in the exodus from Ireland

ways. grappled boldly with the dihicul-
ties of life, and brought their purposes
to accomplishment. Let us remem-
ber.
The noblest figure of the eighteenth
century, be the others who they may.
is that of George Washington, who in
the first great trials Of our national
life raised "a standard to which the
wise and the just could repair" and
left the issue in the hands OF God.
Let us remember.
The noblest figure Of the nineteenth
century, excepting no one, is that of
Abraham Lincoln, who by his heroic
saintliness, his heroic patience, his he
roic conception Of duty. his heroic hu-
mility. led his people through the fiery
trials Of the Civil war. Let us remem-
ber.
We have doubtless made mistakes !;
we have neglected duties: we have
overestimated the value Of riches; we
have cared too much for luxury: we
have failed to establish Justice for the
Jmasses: we have not brought democ-
racy to ripeness; we have forgotten
the true road; we have sought to wOr-
shin both God and mammon; but we
have not let the fires of hope-that
the spirit of brotherhood shall prevail
among all Americans and between
America and all the workable out In
our hearts. Let US remember.
Now we confront the greatest trial
that our nation has faced. The strong

all of us a new significance in
this year of grace. In past
years we hare laid our fowers

the fowers will be laid as

our country, even as these did
