Lincoln S Eloquent
Gettysburg Speech

Fifty years ago another president of
the United States made an address On
the battlefield of Gettysburg. Presi-
dent Lincoln during the storm and
stress of war jOurneyed from Wash
ingtOn to take part in the dedication
of portion of the scene Of the bloody
conflict. and on Nov. 10. 1862. he de-
livered short address that will live
as long as the English tongue is spoken.
Here is the famous Lincoln Gettysburg
address in full:
| EOurscOre and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this CONT
nent a new nation, conceived in lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition
! that all men are created equal
Now we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation or
any nation so conceived and so dedl-
Gated can long endure. We are met
on great battlefield of that war. We
! have come to delicate portion OF
that field as final resting place for
| those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do
this.
But in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot cOnSecrate, we
cannot hallOw. this g<)und. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note nor long remem-
Der what we say here. but it 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 no
bly, advanced. 1t is rather for us to
be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us-that from these
honored dead we take increased devo-
ton 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 new
birth Of freedom, and that government
Of the people, by the people. for the
people. shall not perish from the earth.

In 1868 the men in blue met the
men in gray with shot and shell
and deadly bayonet charge; in
1918, when the men in gray
reached the historic stone wall,
the men in blue sprang up from
behind it, grasped the men in
gray by the hand, fell on their
necks and wept tears of frater-
nal joy.
