but your work will long remain. In 

 a measure it will be true of you as It 

 was of those who fell at Gettysburg, 

 ■whose great work was summed up in 

 a few well-chosen words by President 

 Lincoln, "In a large sense we cannot 

 dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we 

 cannot hallow this ground. The lirave 

 men living and dead, who struggled 

 here, have consecrated it far above 

 our power to add or detract. The 

 world will little note nor long re- 

 member what we say here, but it can 

 never forget what they did here." 



But this is not all, trees, like fruits 

 and flowers, have their day. The end 

 comes sometime. The fashion of this 

 world changes. Is there nothing more 

 permanent that you have done? Yes, 

 for many of you have changed the 

 very face of nature. You have taken 

 a rough unsightly stretch of country 

 and converted it into a veritable para- 

 dise of beauty. With pick and shovel, 

 instead of the palette and brush you 

 have wrought out a picture, a dream 

 of beauty, which will be more and 

 more highly prized by men and women 

 for a thousand generations. But does 

 not this mark the end of the sphere ol 

 influence of your craft? By no means. 

 The great soul of the artist lives for- 

 ever in the souls of men inspired by

his touch. Shakespeare said, "The 

 evil men do lives after them, while 

 the good is oft interred with their 

 bones," and as truthfully can it bo 

 said of great and good men in every 

 walk in life that the */')(;(/ men do lives 

 after them. Your life and mine in the 

 final analysis will be worth just what 

 good we can do, the service we can 

 render in our time. This is the great 

 goal of life, the prize to be coveted, 

 the end to be sought.
