Leader: Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this contingent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. or ASSEMBLY: Now we are eng'ag'ed in a g"reat civil war, testing* whether that nation, any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long* endure. LEADER: IVc are met on a great battle-field cfthat war. We have come to dedicate a portion qf that field as a final resting-pluce for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. ASSEMBLY: It is altog*ether fitting* and proper that we should do this. But, in a larg*er sens« we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow— this g*round. LEADER: The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. ASSEMBLY: The world will little note nor longremember what we say here, but it can never forg*et what they did here LEADER: Jt 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.





ASSEMBLY:

Itis

rather for us to be here dedicated to the g^reat task remaining* before us



from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they g-ave the last full measure of devotion; That we here hig'hly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that the g*overnment of the idnaX

people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Abraham Lincoln

America (My Country/Tisof Thee) America was written by Rev. Samuel F. Smith, a Baptist minister, who was born in Boston, 21, 1808, and died November 16,1895. One of Dr.Smith's friends was I^owell Mason, the eminent musician. A friend had given Mr. Mason a lot of German music books. Being unable to read German the musician took the books to Dr. Smith and asked him to translate some of the songs for him Dr. Smith says: "Turning over the leaves of the book one gloomy day in February, 1832, I came across the air, "God save the King." I liked the music. I glanced at the German words at the foot of the page. Under the inspirati

in

New York, May

27,

In December, 1861, Dr. and Mrs. Howe, with a party of friends, paid a visit to Washington. Everything about the city had a martial aspect. The railroads were guarded by pickets, the streets were full of soldiers and all about could be seen the "watchf ires of a hundred circling camps." One day the party drove several miles from the city to see a review of the Federal soldiers. An attack by the Confederates caused much excitement and delayed their return Finally they started back to Washington under an escort of soldiers, and to while away the time they sang war songs, among others, "John Brown!' Waking in the gray dawn of the following morning Mrs. Howe found "herself weaving together words to the music she had sung the day before. Fearing she might forget the of the lines if she slept again, she arose and wrote down the verses of the "Battle Kepublic." The poem was first published in the Atlantic Monthly for February, 1862. The verses were published without the author's name, and she received but five dollars for them. Of this great hymn a recent writer says,"Unlike many of the songs of the Civil War, it contains nothing sectional, nothing personal, nothing of a temporary character. While we of feel the beauty of the lines and their aspiration after freedom, even in the piping times peace, it is only in the time of storm and stress that their full meaning shines out. Written with intense feeling, they seem 4o burn and glow when our own emotions are aroused."

The Last Rose Of Summer

^reat Irish lyric poet, did for Irish folk songs what Burns did for his native land ''The Last Rose of Summer" is among his most famous songs, having achieved great pcpularity through its interpolation into the ever popular and beautiful opera "Martha'bV Flotow, to whom the authorship of the song is sometimes erroneously attributed. The air is an ancient one, called the ^'Groves of Blarney',' which in turn was taken from a more ancient Celtic melody.

Ye Olde

Folkes^ Concertte''-

The songs "Revolutionary Tea'' "Cousin Jedediah" and "Sound the Loud Timbrel" are examples of those which may be used to advantage in an Old Folks Concert. Programs of this type, made up of songs and recitations selected from among those popular in the days of the old time"Singing School',' with the performers appropriately costumed, can be given in any community and are great fun. The more elderly people enjoy them because they bring back memories of an institution which, like the spelling match and husking bee, was important from a social standpoint. The younger people and children will be entertained by taking part in a program similar to one in which their grandparents often participated.
