THE FOURTH OF JULY
BIRTHDAY OF THE GREATEST
OF NATIONS.
why Every Patriotic American Should
Rejoice and Give Thanks-History of
the Declaration of Independence-Its
Signers.

One hundred and tWenty-one years
ago the bell rang in Independence hall
in Philadelphia. To the uninitiated it
pealed its sonorous notes for some I'M
known purpose. To those who, breath
less, were waiting for the sound, it told
the news that liberty had shaken off
her shackles in the new world, that
she had taken her rightful place and
that hereafter the people would ac-
knowledge the power of no ruler except
such as might be chosen by them
selves 1t was curious scene in that
staid old Quaker town, the last place
in the colonies where one would have
suspected a spark would be given birth
to light freedoms torch throughout the
western hemisphere.
1t was on the seventh day of June,
1776, that the delegates from the colo
MES sitting in congress in Philadelphia
considered the following resolution in
troduced by Virginia's statesman,
Richard Henry Lee:
Resolved, That the United States
colonies are and ought to be free and
Independent states and their political
connection with Great Britain is and
ought to be dissolved
There had been murmurings and
threats and calm expressions of de-
termination. But here was united ac-
ton. The people, by their representa-
tives duly chosen, formally absolved
themselves from allegiance from the
mother country and said to the world
that they had cast off their swaddling
clothes, and were now able to walk
alone. To speak with absolute truth,
all the delegates did not favor this
progressive step. Some opposed it on
the ground that it was premature.

might be more united feeling among
the people.
Thus it was that on June II, that
famous committee was appointed to
frame the declaration of independence.
Note the names, and if you are stu
dent of the history Of the United States,
conceive, if you can, of better quin-
tet to have represented the American
people: Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sher-
man, Robert r. Livingston. The first

our ears every time we hear telegraph

Their of what the world knows as Jeffer-
sonian democracy. The fourth, puri-
tan, patriot, leader, gave more in moral
force and determination, in knowledge
of the law and it's common sense prin-
ciples than almost any man who as
sisted at the birth of the nation. The
fifth was the man of whom the major
ity of people know comparatively little,
and yet there was none who better de-
served a place of honor in the public
mind Eminent as a financier,
shrewd judge of human nature, his
touch on the helm of state was ex-
actly what was needed to keep the
young craft on her course.
Jefferson had spoken but little in
congress and he had no part in the
acrimonies which then prevailed. In
a plain brick house. corner of Market
and Seventh streets, Philadelphia, he
drafted the declaration of independ-
ence The work was almost wholly
Jefferson's, only a few verbal altera-
tons being suggested by Adams and
Franklin. 1t then was approved by
the committee. A few passages were
struck out by congress
Caesar Rodney, one of Delaware's
delegates, in order to have his vote
recorded, rode in the saddle from
point eighty miles from Philadelphia,
all night, and reached the floor just in
time on July to cast Delaware's vote
in favor of independence. On that day,
ever memorable in American annals,
the declaration of independence was
adopted by the unanimous vote of the
thirteen colonies.
The enthusiasm of the patriots at
hearing the intelligence was unbound
ed. While congress had been discuss
ing the subject, crowds assembled out
side the hall and in the streets, an
xiously awaiting the result. When it
was announced at noon the state house
bell on which was inscribed Proclaim
liberty throughout all the land unto
the inhabitants thereof" changed deep
and melodicusly and the throng gave
vent to long and loud shouts of exulta-
ton.

The old bell ringer had been at his
post since early morning. He had
placed his boy below to announce when
the declaration was adopted, SO that
not an instant might be lost in trans
ferring the glad tidings by means Of
the bell to the waiting multitude AS
the wearisome hours passed and no
sign came to him the aged bell ringer
finally exclaimed "They will never do
it! They will never do it," Just then
he heard his boy clapping his hands
and vociferating at the top of his ju-
venile lungs Ring! Ring!" The old
hands swayed the sonorous bell with
delirious vigor It's reverberations was
echoed by every steeple in the city.
That was gala day in Philadelphia,
what with rejoicings and bonfires and
Examinations. The cannon doomed
and messengers rode away holly in all
quarters to announce the news. Wash
ington then was in New York with the
army. BY his orders it was read to the
soldiers, who acclaimed it enthusiasts
tically. The townsfolk on that night
tore the statue of George III. from it's
pedestal in Bowling Green and it was
melted into $4,000 bullets for the pa
triotic troops.

A very large congregation, composed

Union Thanksgiving services. Rev.

research, cultivated though and power

occur before the lst Of January. They

them the allurement of enlistment in

counsel our soldier lads not to yield to
the tenn ptation Of enlisting in the army
exchanging life of independe and
sacrificing their individuality, for the
bondage Of a military career. A priv
ate in the reg ular service is virtually
reduced to the condition OF mere
stipendiary, but little better than that
of peonage. There is no future as a
subordinate in the army. The private

cipline and to all the vicissitutis of q
precarious existence. 1t is not q life,

our volunteers, their anxious friends
send dutiiul message to return to the
old homestead and not to be seduced

it morally is. This advice is directed
