trees that could be used for no other puFpoSe were formed into crosScs. Hut since the cross has become dear to Christians. says the Ave Maria. the most precious woods and metals have been formed into it. To the third century may be traced the GUS tom of making the sign of the cross. In the days of Constantine. Christians painted crosses on the entrances of
 their houses Us symbol of their faith
 The impetus to the use of the cross in heraldry was given by the crusa- dors, who wore a red cross upon their right shoulder as d token of the obli- gation they had taken upon them selves. Its form and meanings in
 heraldic designs are many. In fact. over IO7 different forms have been recorded by students of biography and genealogy.
 In heraldry the cross is formed by
 two perpendicular and two horizontal
 lines crossing in the center of the shield. This form k modified in vari-
 ous ways by additions and combina-
 tions. thus expressing many meanings.

ell HI pOIlduI task. f1GQce on the same day that the Declaration of independence was issued, July 4, a com mlttee to devise a seal was created
 While present-day Americans have always been informed by writers. his torians and orators of the intense heat of that suspicious Fourth of July, and that because of the almost unbearable atmosphere of the sultry weather prevailing the delegates as sembled, hastily debated and quickly signed the colonial Magma Charter il order to get out of the congressional hall. the facts are that the day was unusually pleasant and characteristic of a most agreeable summer climate
 This statement, involving as it does correction of hitherto accepted his torical material, rests on the author ity of an entry found among Jeffer- sons stray notes. an entry never until now given printed publicity. Innum- erable writers have drawn highly col ored word pictures of the dreadful and stifing weather conditions existing on that memorable day but we submit that far more reliance is to be placed on the evidence penned by distin
 guished and careful observer who was present on the occasion in the role of an active and honorable delegate. Among the Jefersonian script is a sheet bearing the following notations:

lords and commons. He cites parlia- mentary rolls as reference to the time when the episode occurred which brought forth the reply, Jefferson's idea of comparing the thirteen col onies to the 13 rods with which an earnest father sought to impress his sons with the principle that 'Tn union there is strength" or the precept that United we stand, divided we fall ," was taken from his copy of Aesop's Fables. The exact details of this an- cient story which appealed so em. phatically to Jefferson are as follows:
 "A father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves When he failed to heal

political leanings of the author. When submitting the sketch of a proposed seal he addressed the committee as follows:
 As 1 have already observed, Dr. f'ranklin's and my thoughts, by some l unexplainable coincidence are very similar, inasmuch that we have both sought to symbolize Liberty; and furthermore as typical illustration of the elimination of slavery, chose the children of Israel. In representing these King-ridden people. it is my pri- mary desire to indicate on our seal that the success of the Hebrews was due. not so much to their skill and genious in battle, but principally to the fact that they were God fearing, and confided in the Almighty, who, though invisible, was present in the pillar and cloud which led them. I propose that the seal contain an obverse and reverse side; on the for mer the Children of Israel led by a | cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, on the latter Hengist and Horsa the Saxon chiefs, from whom we claim the honor of being descended and government we are now about to as sume."
 The history of Hengist and Horsa is one of great interest, and anyone thoroughly absorbed in the story of the seal can not afford to miss it. Jefferson believed that indirectly we i,,h cd haI l our form of government The history of England begins shortly before the Christian era (55 B. e., when Caesar
 first landed and conquered an un- civilized race known as the Britons. The Romans about the third century had effected marked changes in the island and had established the Chris tian religion, and introduced Roman laws and rules, but the Britons, a barbarous race, so necessarily attack ed them. that late in the fifth century they abandoned England
 Hengist and Horsa were the leaders of the Saxons, or Germans, who dis puted the ownership of the British soil and finally conquered the country. They were defeated in three battles, Horsa being slain in action at Eggles- ford (455). Hengist immediately took possession of Kent and nearly the entire southern half of England. He established his court at Canterbury, and the laws which he enforced were in good taste with governments of that early period. He reigned about 30 years. and laid the foundation of that Great England which has occu- pied so large a space in the history of the world.
 Jefferson was somewhat nettled over the disfavor shown his designs by the critics of the Continental Con- gress, and betrayed his anrioyance
 when he wrote:
 ''If the Continental Congress will not accept the stirring motto, Re
 bellion to Tyrants is Obedience to
 God will employ it in my personal
 seal'
 This resolution was immediately
 carried out, for he had an engraver produce a seal with "T J" in script,
 with the classic motto placed about
 the border The symbolic designs evolved by Jefferson were many and reflected in their virile character the

 can patriot who will be so widely re.

tion from the mother country, that he hoped for a rebellion. and had faith in the said rebellion evolving into a revolution which would result in the necessity for a national signature or seal. He not only designed the em- blematic or symbolic part, sbut also supplied a motto which likewise ap- pears among the stray notes of 1774. couched in the following words:

 In the foregoing summary We have the Jeffersonian idea expressed as it would relate itself to the union of the thirteen colonies. It was direct, convincing and logical, as shown in some of tie present state seals.
