Most weary seemed the sea, weary the

And all at once they sang, Our is

The preservation of this little colo
ny from the fate of its several prede-
cessors, was due to the prophetic eye
and indomitable courage of Captain
John Smith, who held it against the
savages without and the dissensions
within. 1t was a pathetically weak
household divided against itself and
the miracle of its survival is revealed
in the dauntless spirit of Captain
Smith, a spirit, which on this soil has
survived to snatch the prestige of the
world and write its name in blazing
letters upon the golden scroll OF fame.
Tragic, dramatic, romantic and por-
tentious almost without parallel, are
the scenes and events connected with
the birth of this nation at jamestown
in 1907, and it is only to be expected
that Americans of every section of
this great land, will share the pride
of Virginians and actively participate
with them in the celebration cOmmem-
Grating that event.
Three hundred years have passed
away; the ancient heroes long have
laid beneath the silent years, but over
the scenes that knew them a crown
ing glory is being reared to mark their
memory-a city of magic and mys-
terry, uncommon and unique in the his
tory of expositions.
The scope and plan of the forthcom-
ing jamestown exposition which
opens near Norfolk, Va, in 1907, is
striking in many respects and partic-
ness and consistency. The pilgrims of
1907 were awed and wonderstrucE a.

and blessing, war and peace. Mighty
