To the Grand Lodge of the State of Illinois, I. O. O. F.:
Whereas, Fifty years ago today on the afternoon of November 19,
1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered, at the Dedication of the Gettysburg
National Cemetery, his now famous Gettysburg Address; and
Whereas, No greater brief document expressing lofty sentiment
and high ideals appears in the English language; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is altogether fitting and proper that this message
be read in this Grand Lodge today; and be it further
Resolved, That the Grand Secretary read, or cause to be read, at a
suitable hour between three o'clock and four o'clock on the afternoon
of November 19, 1913, the famous address of Lincoln's as a message
of love of man to man.
