GETTYSBURG SPEECH.
B Fourscore and seven y ar n';o. ir fathers brought forth on this 9
3 continent a new nation. conneiv< ii in liberty, and dedicated to the H
9 proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged B
1 in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so H
S conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a if
9 great battlefield of that war.. We have come to dedicate a portion H
R| Of that field as a final r sti:: ;-place for those who here gave their Q
SJ lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and pro- 5J
SI per that we should do this. Hut In a larger sense wo cannot dedi- Q
B cate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The ?8
3 brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated ?jj
9 it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will 9
9 little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can nev- Q
B er forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be H
9 dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here ?
B have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here 3
B dedicated to the great task remaining before us. ? that from these 9
9 honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which RJ
S they gave the last full measur* of devotion. ? that we here highly 0
3 resolve that those dead shall not have died In vain, ? that this na- B
B "on, under Cod, shall have a new birth of freedom. ? and that gov- 9
B eminent of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not per- E!
9 ish from the earth. I
