The spirit of American Libertv.

believe the Declaration of hide
pendenee valuable not alone because it
drove from our shores a foreign inva-
sion, not alone because it established a
government by written constitution,
but because it gave to the spirit of
American liberty and American virtue
the opportunity to erect a broad home
of constitutional liberty through which
prosperity was attained and DO tyrant
could breathe its atmosphere.
Wise as were the fathers who framed
our constitution, deeply laid in political
wisdom Us were its foundations, it
would not be worth tie paper on which
it is written but for the fact that it gave
TO us the spirit of liberty that has never
died in the bosoms Of Americans -

Fopie For the Week beginning July 7.
Comment by Rev. 5. III. Doyle.
TOPIC - The Ten Commandments III our
nves--MarlS xii, 28-s3
In answer to tho scribe's question
Jesus declares love to God to be the first
and greatest commandment. and the
second like unto it-!oye to man Thus
He takes two commandments, separated
widely in the Scriptures, and 50 unites
them as to make them the essence and
sum not only Of the Ten Command
ments, but of all commandments If we
love God with all our heart, soul, mind
and strength and our neighbor as our
selves, all commands referring in de-
tail to our duty to God and man are
made unnecessary 1t il upon this prin-
ciple Of love that we should put the Ten
Commandments into effect III our daily
lives.
1. Love to God Thou shalt love the
Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul. and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength This
is the first commandment. This com
mandment is found in Deut. vi, 5.
1t is the sum Of the first four Of
the Ten Commandments which relate
to our duty to God To love God in
the way here described means to love
Him supremely, with the entire be-
ing God is deserving Of such love
He Himself is love, and He loved us
before we could love Him We should
love Him above every person and every
thing for these and other reasons, and
if we love God in this way our love will
express itself in our lives We will be
grateful to Him- We viii admire Him
and desire to be like Him We will de-
sire to have His name known and hon
ored the world over. But specially viii
it be manifested in keeping the com
mandments referring to Him With
such love in our hearts we cannot have
any other God before us. We can wor-
ship nothing but Him We would not
think Of taking His name in vain, and
the keeping of His day would be our
Joy and delight
2. Love to our neighbor. The second
commandments is like unto the first in
that love is the basis Of it. Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thysef" " 1t is sec
ond to the first, and to keep it we must
obey the first, for we cannot truly love
man unless we first love God This com
mandment is found in Lev. xix, Is, and
is the sum Of the last six of the Ten
Commandments We are to love orr fel-
low men as we love ourselves. A prac-
teal exemplifcation Of this love is ex-
pressed in the Golden Rule If we love
our neighbors as ourselves, we must
keep the commandments on the second
table of stone Love should thus be the
ruling principle Of our lives 1t viii
make us true to God, true to cur fellow
men and true to ourselves Have we such
love to God and to man?

duties to which the Endeavorer stands
pledged are those of reading the Scrip

discharge this obligation once or twice,

be conscientious in suffering no day to

READING THE DECLARATION.


NnhnBes IN tne manner OF Observing the
National birthday.
With the late civil war began new
era in our national life. The preserva-
tion of the Union became the absorbing
topic Of thought among the loyal people
Of our land The great national anniver-
sary continued to be celebrated, but in
modified degree. Instead of ovations
largely devoted to the apotheosis Of the
American eagle as the hope Of the world,
there were thoughtful discourses CON
corning tile duty of every American citi-
zen at that Ei0mentous period The pu-
tative crimes Of old King George were
almost forgotten, and in many places
the farewell address of Washington, the
peerless Plea for national union and pub
lie virtue. was read instead of the Decla-
ration Of Independence. Ever since that
war the public reading of that Declara-
tion has been less and less observed. 1t
is well to
Let the dead past bury its dead
and to direct our c1c--e,es to the strength
ening of our national life. Let our boys
and girls have all the innocent fun and
healthful amusement on the Fourth of
July and express their joy rs loudly as
they please Would it not be well for
their seniors to follow the example Of
ancient Hebrew fathers, who required
their sons 70 come at the time of the cell
ebration Of the passover and inquire
What mean ye by this service1
and then gave them full instruction con-
corning the origin and significance of
the great national festival? By means Of
such home education on our great ami
versary Yonng America might receive
valuable instruction that would stimu-
late and foster true patriotism. Ben
