In q large voice:

Then did James go forth with 9

On the 3D. Of July. 1776, says Paul

reeentatives of Massachusetts In the
Continental congress, wrote to his wife
Abigail:
yesterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated in
America. and greater, perhaps, never
was nor will be decided among men,"
In second letter, written the same
day. he said:
"But the day Is past. The I'd Of July
will be the most memorable epoch In
the history of America. l am apt to
believe that 1t will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the great
anniversary festival. 1t ought to be
commemorated as the day Of deliver

Almighty; 1t ought to be s0lemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows

When the resolution was taken up OF

voted to accept It. Thus on the I'd day
