What is the great task that Lincoln refers to in the Gettysburg Address?

The "great task" is "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."

Lincoln's stance on preserving the Union was well known. What was interesting at Gettysburg was that he started talking about ending slavery as an outcome of the war. This was his clever way of fusing the idea of preserving the Union and ending slavery as one and the same goal.

The Gettysburg Address is located on the south wall of the Lincoln Memorial. The speech was given November 19, 1863 at the dedication of the cemetery there. The speech looked at America's past, present, and future. Lincoln stated his case that the people who died did so for a reason.

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

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."

I have a 1985 5 bill with the back design printed on both sides ie the Lincoln Memorial is printed across Lincolns face How do I find out if this is worth anything?

Without seeing it in person it's difficult to say, but you may have what's called an offset error. A key factor is whether the back-side image that's on the front is also a mirror image rather than being the same direction as the back image on a normal bill. If it's reversed, that increases the chance that your bill is an offset error but you should still have it checked in person by an expert; offset errors can be worth as much as a couple of hundred dollars.

To explain an offset error, the images on US bills are printed in at least three stages. Sometimes a sheet of paper gets stuck and doesn't go through one of the stages. That causes ink to be put onto a part of the press called the impression cylinder instead of onto the paper. When the next sheet gets unstuck and goes through correctly it picks up not only the ink it's supposed to get but also picks up the ink from the impression cylinder, so it receives two images one of which is backwards.

What is the Warren G. Harding dedication speech at Lincoln Memorial?

Here's part of it from Biome - (1998:262):

"The supreme chapter in history is not emancipation, though that achievement would have exalted Lincoln throughout all the ages. The simple truth is that Lincoln, recognizing an established order, would have compromised with the slavery that existed if he could have halted its extension. Hating human slavery as he did, he doubtless believed in its ultimate abolition through the developing conscience of the American people, but he would have been the last man in the Republic to resort to arms to effect its abolition. Emancipation was a means to a great end - maintained union and nationality. Here was the great purpose, here the towering hope, here the supreme faith."
