THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS "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 ina great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great bat- tlefield 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 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. 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 nation 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." ------------------------------------- Prepared by Gerald Murphy (The Cleveland Free-Net - aa300) X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X Another file downloaded from: NIRVANAnet(tm) &TOTSE 510/935-5845 Walnut Creek, CA Taipan Enigma Burn This Flag 408/363-9766 San Jose, CA Zardoz realitycheck 415/666-0339 San Francisco, CA Poindexter Fortran Governed Anarchy 510/226-6656 Fremont, CA Eightball New Dork Sublime 805/823-1346 Tehachapi, CA Biffnix Lies Unlimited 801/278-2699 Salt Lake City, UT Mick Freen Atomic Books 410/669-4179 Baltimore, MD Baywolf Sea of Noise 203/886-1441 Norwich, CT Mr. Noise The Dojo 713/997-6351 Pearland, TX Yojimbo Frayed Ends of Sanity 503/965-6747 Cloverdale, OR Flatline The Ether Room 510/228-1146 Martinez, CA Tiny Little Super Guy Hacker Heaven 860/456-9266 Lebanon, CT The Visionary The Shaven Yak 510/672-6570 Clayton, CA Magic Man El Observador 408/372-9054 Salinas, CA El Observador Cool Beans! 415/648-7865 San Francisco, CA G.A.
