Gettysburg Speech
Called Marvel of
Poetic Splendor

Lincoln's undying Gettysburg address
has been put into the e poetic style
by DIR. Marion Mills Miller. who finds
that 1.-The speech is as perfect a poem
as ever was written, and ever in the
minor qualities Of artistic language
rhythm and cadence. phonetic euphony.
rhetorical symbolism. and that subtle
Renaissance of a great literary and
spiritual inherltance, the Bible. which
stands to US as Homer did to the
a~ncients-it excels the finest gem to be
found in poetic cabinets from the Greek
anthology downward" DR., Miller's in
teresting poetic presentation Of the
address follows:
Fourscore 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.
III any aRiO ~ ~ dttQ ~ 4O041dt14f
Can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war,
We have come to dedicate a portion Of thai
field
As q final resting-place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
i Is altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this.
But. in alarger sense,
We can not dedicate
We can not c~onsecrate-
VIZ can not hallow-
This ground.
The brave men. living and dead.
Who struggled here
Have consecrated II far above our poor
power
To add or detract
The 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 so nobly
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 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 lave a new birth of freedom;
And that government of the people,
BY the people, and for the people
Shall not perish iron the earth.

A Few Facts About Lincoln.

He knew the value of a merry jest
and a hearty laugh.
He vas simple In manner, dress ana
bearing, but was big of heart and
brain.
He was too great a nature to care
one way or another about his ances-
try. The living generation was of vital
Importance to him.
He did not advocate war for his own
g~lorffication, but to liberate human
beings from slavery. All men were bis
brothers and his equals before his
Creator.

were never under guard were usually
in small groups. and apparently had

ment They were without arms and
shabby clad. and always declared en-
phat!caliy that they had no desire to
get back into the German army, nor
even any wish 10 return to Germany
until after general peace was de-
clared
II the prisoners showed any dispo-
sition to organize or even TO travel
about In marauding bands, they would
furnish serious problem. but under
present conditions they are merely a
nuisance.
AZ small station north OF volorda,
there was group of about fifty pris-
oners !dline on the station platform.

to hear that tho United States hs

surprise at being informed that Amer
