HIS GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.
Words That Will Live in History as the
Greatest Effort of Lincoln.

Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation or any
other nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated can long endure. We are met on
q great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate portion OF that
field, as a final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that the ma
ton might live. 1t is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this.
But, in larger sense, we cannot ded-
icate-we cannot conservative can
not hallow this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecratcd it, far above our
poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long remem-
Der what we say here, but 1t can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for us.
the living, rather to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far SO nobly ad-
yanced. 1t is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us-that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the last
full measure of devotion--that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain-that this nation.
under God, shall have a new birth OF

When jest as had almost reached his
side
They roughly called to me to stand
aside.
He glanced once at the officer so grim,
While l looked up beseechingly at him,
Then said: Who is the man? What
would he do?'

speak to me
You need no other name or pedigree.
An then he led me in an up the stair,
While Ministers and Generals waited
there.
Il told him, with the sobs half choking
me,
The story of my grief and misery.
His face was sad an furrowed with a
care
That had never seen a mortal wear;
But still he listened, an he bowed his
head
Sometimes at what felt or what said.
He looked my papers over carefully,
Then turned an, smiling, gently said
to me:
They say we must be stern if we would
win
That pardons are the death of discip-
line;
But still think the country would sur
vive
With that boy loose an running round
alive.
So far's our mems concerned, why,
heaven willing.
