                Abraham Lincoln  Gettysburg Address

            Delivered at the National Soldiers' Cemetery
            Gettysburg, Pennsylvania  November 19, 1863

Four score 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 or
any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.  We are met on a
great battlefield of that war.  We have come to dedicate a portion of that
field as a 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.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we
can not hallow -- this ground.  The brave men, living and dead, who strug-
gled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note nor long remember  what we say here, but it can
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.

It  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 na-
tion, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of
the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
