now there was charge against the

1t required a long time to prepare
for the celebration of the first Fourth
of July; it demanded nerve, courage;
heroism; the man who huzzaed for lib
erty then was in danger of putting his
head in a moose, and he who fired a
gun in honor of the occasion was shot
without trial IL caught
Nowadays, people who wake up on
the morning of the Fourth of July,
amid the booming of cannon, the noise
of trumpets, crackle or guns and snap
ping of fire crackers, and a general
pandemonium of free and generous
noise, seldom think of the years of
anxiety, suffering and bloodsned
through which the Colonial Americans
passed before reaching the great day
when they could shout for freedom.
There had been long resistance to
tyranny, oppression and injustice. The
Lexington shot that was heard
around the world" had been fired.
Harry Lee had proclaimed independ-
ence, Patrick Henry had demanded
liberty or DEATH but the time was
not quite ripe for that day of all days
In American history, the Fourth of
July, 1776.
On that day. ffty-six determined
patriots assembled in the state house
at Philadelphia They had a purpose
in assembling, and that purpose was of
grave import to the whole world. Thir-
teen colonies, with their three mil
lions of people knew what the purpose
was; they had sanctioned it, approved
it, and what the fifty-six men were
about TO do they were to do on be-
half of those three millions of people
who had fought, suffered, bled and
starved that 1t might be done. Every
body knew what was going to happen,
even the small boy who now makes as
much noise as he can, was there with
the crowds assembled to hear the
tocsin of liberty.
A member of this great Congress Of
the people arose, and stopping mo-
ment, looked at the grave faces before
him, then he began to read from a
paper he held in his hand:
when In the course of human
