 Gettysburg Sbeech DeHvered 0n he BatHefeld, Nov 19, 1863

 ~ CAT score and seven years ago our fathers RI brought forth this continent a new nation,
 conceived ill Liberty and dedicated to the pro- position that all men are created equal. Now are engaged in great civil war, testing whether that nation, any nation so conceived and so de- dicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate portion of that field as final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
 ID ut in larger sense we cannot dedicate, can O not consecrate, cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it never forget what they did here It is for us, the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far So nobly advanced.
 Tt is rather for to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before US that from these hon ored dead we take increased devotion to that for which they gave the last full measure of devo tion; 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.
