Gettysburg Address




Fourscore and seven years ago,our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in 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 dedicated to a protion of that field as a final resting palace for those who have gave their lives that that nation might live.It'S altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
  But in a large sense we cannot dedicate,we cannot consecrate,we cannot hallow this ground.The brave man,living and dead.who struggled here have consecrated if 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's 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's rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,-that from this honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their last full measure 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.
                              
                                           Abraham Lincoln.



I have recited this article to my class.But when I have recited this article,nobody understood what I say. Maybe I recited it a little faster.

I can not think of better illustration than a classic actor's lines which goes like this:With greater power,comes greater responsibility~~!
