Text on verso: Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Spoken in clear American was a call to all Americans to devote their activities to the advancement of human progress so nobly begun in the war for independence and continued in the Civil War. Let us to-day respond to his call and uphold all things American. Let us call our language American, because the name 'English' renders it unsuitable as a vehicle for expressing the American idea that 'All men are created equal.'
