Last Wednesday. the 4th instant, was
the anniversary Of the Declaration Of
independence in the year 1916. The
question Of Independence was brought
directly before congress by Rich'd Henry
Lee, of Virginia, on June I, in the shape
Of a resolution declaring that 1.-THE Uni

Independent States" There was only a
bare majority Of the colonies in favor OF

Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams, Mr.. Sherman, aud R. R. Living

draft q Declaration Of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson prepared the doeu-
ment at a lodging house in Philsdelphia;
it was presented to congress on July 4th,
and, having been amended in several
parts, received the vote Of every colony.
Jefferson aud Adams died in 1926
They are among the revered fathers Of
the republic, the former ranking next TO
Washington. Jefferson was a native Of
Virginia, Adams Of Massachusetts. Both
were early aud earnest advocates Of the
rights of the colonists aud Of extreme
defensive measures. Jefferson drafted

ed it, and it was adopted almost as the
great Virginian wrote it. At the close
OF the war both became engaged in the
diplomatic service, Adams being our
first minister to Great Britain. Adams
was our vice president and Jefferson was
secretary Of state in the first cabinet.
The latter became the leader OF the De.
mocracy, while Adams headed the Fed.

Jefferson returned 10 Virginia and re,

President. He sought reelection, bui

two terms and then retired to private
life. Mr.. Adams had also retired, anC

San Francisco Cor. Baltimore SUM-
An admirable picture of the cru
cifxion on Calvary has been ex.
hibited for criticism and correction
before taking it abroad. 1t is full
size. The cross differs from all ex-
tant pictures. In height it is but
little taller than a man. Midway is
a projecting saddle, upon which the
person sits astride. Ireneus, JUS
tin and Tertullian SO describe it.
Modern artists have omitted this,
but it is obvious that the ou~tstretch-
ed arms could not maintain, nor
could the nailed hands have sup
ported, the body as usually repre-
Sented. All historians say the legs
were tied to the cross, and afterward
spikes were driven through the feet,
as through the hands. There is no
mention Of a foot rest, but the mr.
fist has supplied one, because the
feet cannot be spiked without. The
inscription on the cross, affixed to
the top, is purposely and ingenious
ly illegible, because each Of four
gospels gives it differently. There
being no record of personal appear
ance, every one is at liberty to draw
on his Imagination. Here the ar.
fist exhibits consummate skill. A
more spiritual countenance we
never saw. The head is reclined,
as expiring. The hair is auburn,
long and in ringlets. The person
is spare and of short statue. At the
foot of the cross are only the execu-
TONERS Of the law. No one is repre-
sented as piercing the side with a
spear. Nor are any connections, as
Mary and John, present, this being
a direct contradiction Of the three
synoptic gospels. 1t is usual to
show blood flowing from the wounds
in the hands and feet. This is
omitted, because history tells us that
wrought iron, being our best stypic,
instantly stops the flow Of blood.
1t is popularity supposed that the
sacrifice consisted in the shedding
of blood. Paul makes this indis-
pensable. Yet it is a mistake. A
slight cut on a s~choolboy's finger
sheds more blood. Death results
from exhaustion, not from bleeding.
There are several marginal pic
lures, illustrating various miracles
and other scriptural stories. Per-
haps the most striking, and certain.
ly the most artistic, represents Jesus
escorted to the place Of execution
by the lowly multitude exulting in
His fate. The central figure is
clothed in scarlet, according to
Matthew, in preference to purple,
mich Mark and John say was the
color. And the man of Nazareth
walks majestically as to a voluntary
sacrifice. 1t is usual, and almost
indispensable to public taste, to
show him bearing His cross and
bowed down beneath the burden.
according to John. But the artist,
following the three synoptic gospels,
which deny Johns story, shows
Simon carrying the cross, a stout
plebeian, who walks upright with
it. The artist considers it one
great merit of his painting over
Others, that it is true to history, &C.
cording to the plainest and most
consistent %non-sectarian interpreta-
ton.
