Fourth of July:
This is a memorable day to Eng.
lishmen as well as to Americans. 1t
Is to us day of regret and rejoicing,
of regret at the severance of the po-
litical connection which bound the two
branches of our race together. and of
regret even for the unhappy errors
which brought that severance about,
and the unhappy strife by which the
memory of it was embittered.
Bat 1t is also a day of rejoicing,
for it is the birthday of the eldest
daughter of England-the day when a
new nation, sprung from our own,
first took it's Independent place in the
world. And now, with the progress
of time, rejoicing has prevailed over
regret. and we in England can at

Liberty Bell

The bell that played so important
part in ringing in the first Fourth of
July, by announcing the birth of the
new nation. when the Declaration OF
Independence was read to the world
ia regarded with great veneration by
Americans.
This beloved bell had an eventful
history. 1t was first cast in England.
in 1852, and hung in the State House
at Philadelphia, but 1t was found to
be cracked in the rim and had to be
re-cast three times before 1t was n
success, and finally had this inscrip-
tion placed upon it: Proclaim lib
erty throughout the land to all the in.
habitants thereof" very appropriate
one, and taken from the Scripture, Le-
v.iicus XIV, 10. 1t nobly made that
