Signs of the Times

with contributions from Joseph M. M. Gray, J. H. Oldham

[Excerpts from "What Gettysburg Says to America," an Address by Joseph M. M. Gray, D.D., as reported in The Christian Advocate]

"You will find no explanation of these two facts I have just suggested, this durable intrenchment of the Civil War in song and spirit of America, this enlarging stature of Abraham Lincoln in the ideal and progress of the world, except that the Civil War's greatness derives from the morality of its purpose, the moral sources of its passion."

"It is a victory of moral idea and purpose out of which our American unity has been reknit, a unity which deepens beneath all the fumes of sectional minds, the conspiracies of politics of the devisive moods which gather around the stimulated sentiment of the lost cause."
