=================================================================


      On that day of our national founding, our patriots  brought 
forth  on this land, an original nation, born into Autonomy,  and 
firm in  our proposition that all amount to a par. 
      Now  this country is split by a colossal civil war,  trying  
to  know if that nation,  or any nation so born and  so  staunch, 
can  long last.  This spot was a major point of conflict of  that 
war. 
      Our function today is to sanctify a portion of that  plain,  
as  a final tomb for victims of this rivalry so that nation might 
last.  It is totally fitting and apropos that this should occur. 
      But,  in a maximal import, this body cannot purify - cannot 
sanctify   -   cannot  hallow - this  ground.   Victims  of  that 
conflict living  and  lost, who fought at this locus, did so, far 
on top of our poor ability to add or discount. 
      Our  world will hardly mark, nor long hold what is said  at 
this occasion,  but it can not discount what our army did at this 
location.  It is for  us who stay living to stay faithful to  our 
awaiting  work which our victims who fought did nobly spur on. 
      It  is for us to commit to that grand  task still in  front 
of  us - that from this loss to amplify our loyalty to that  goal 
for  which our victims put out a last full display  of   honor  - 
that  this  group in visit highly  fix  that our loss  shall  not 
pass in vain - that this nation,  cast down from God,  shall find 
an  unknown  birth  of autonomy - and that  administration  of  a 
population,  by said population, for that population,  shall  not 
pass from this world.
