spondence) The meeting at the pavilion
this morning was largely attended The

admired in the two patriotic songs they
rendered. After the invocation by Rev c.

day. His theme was Liberty" and he
touched upon her birth, her struggles and
victories, her demands, dangers and as
pirations. Her first victory, he declared
was at Runnymede, wren the English
barons in 12l5 A. d. compelled King John
to sign the great magma charta. Her
greatest victory, he said was accom-

brate. Her mortal enemies have been and
are ignorance and selfish ambitions and
her dangers bossism, monopoly and priest
craft.
