 That is the reward that the Law of Compensation announces is due our glorious dead; that is the price that their departed shades demand of us for their sacrifices.

 NO! No When that day ar rives when we so fail In our duty, then let us shun the places hallow- ed by the remains of those whose noble sacrifices we so make vain; on that day, let us hide in shame from him who calls us Americans; on that day, let this great country of ours be driven into fragments, scattered far and wide, too fine ever again to be assembled.

 We might fill the libraries of the whole world with shelf after shelf of eulogistic prose and classic poetry dedicated to theml What compensation would that be to them, our honored dead?
