"FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO
They Slgned the Declaratton of Independence
In July. 1776.
Lmcoln spoke at Gettysburg on November
19th, 1863.
Thus, on the 12th day of February,
1951. we stand, almost to the month. at

and his group of bltener. in Adams County,
Pennsylvania, aJ they themJelvel stood

in Phlladelphia. Eighty-seven years.
Four score and seven •.•
In those eighty-seven years America
has changed from a faltering nation In the
agony of civil war to a great power, the
spokesman of t~ free world. Yet thill
fact has brought "0 peace of mind to
Americans For we' have come to understand
that in one respect America has not
changed.
As in Lincoln's time events are still
testing whether "this nation ••• so con.
ceived and 80 dedicated, can long endure ..
And as in Lincoln's time the strugf!'le IS as

totalitarianism, however disguised and
wherever found Only through continu-
Ing effort, Willingly and gladly given, can
the ideal of a free people in a free world

As we understand this, we understand
yet one other thmg. It is that this nation

Lincoln, who in his time. met the lame

his simpliCity he found the answer.
We. too.. can find it in the closing words
