Hello,

The book Lilies of the field the general theme would be of the many people the power of praying and having much faith in one and another.

My work: The book was about five German speaking nuns who tried to escape from the threatening communist from Eastern Europe and throughout the story there is constant prayer for help and for safety. It some parts it might not be told in physical words, but it gives you thoughts of the readers to keep faith and for those nuns to keep going!

I Hope it helps!

um hi, hope this answer !

the third paragraph is your answer,

"but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, 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 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. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of 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.
