people, that much quoted part of Lincoln's his
toricaI address at Gettysburg. fifty years ago

president but was taken from the preface Of

meeting of the Columbia association OF Baptist
churches. held at Emmanuel Baptist church

It is historic paragraph, destined to hold al
most as important position In our life and
foreign politics as the Monroe Doctrine of nearly
one hundred years ago. 1t lacks that appeal

Its importance Is no less because the appeal is
