green in the memory of Americans
and whose act in emphasizing his

DRESS.
t. OUR score and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth on this
l. continent a new nation, con-
ceived in. liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created
equal.
Nov we are engaged in great
civil war, testing whether that nation
or any nation so conceived and SO ded-
icated, can long endure. We are met
on a 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
that nation might live. 1t is altogeth-
err fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot consecrate' we
cannot hallow this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated it far above
our poor power to add or detract.
'0The world will little note, nor long
remember, what we say here, but, II
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 advanced.
at is rather for us to be here dedl-
Gated to the great task 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 re-
solve that these dead shall not have
died in vain: that this nation, under
God. shall have a new birth OF free-
dom, and that government of the peo-
pie, by the people. for the people,
shall not perish from the EARTH

this illustrious character and man OF

coins Day, and from every rostrum,
pulpit and platform in Denver and the

tinguished American in so elaborate a
