terested in the following sketch OF the
career Of the man who solved the
problem of providing seal for the
Government of the United States:
Charles Thomson was born at Ma
ghera, Ireland, November 20, 1929, and
came to America with his three elder
brothers in 1741. They landed at
New Castle, Delaware, with no other
dependence than their industry.
Thomson was educated by Doctor AL
lison, the tutor of several of the
pendence. He had a great passion
for reading and when yet young
man he had cleaned sufficient knowl-
edge to be counted among the "nteri."
He was afterwards teacher in the
Friends academy, at New Castle, Del
aware. From thence he went to
Philadelphia, where he became ac-
quainted with and obtained advice
from Benjamin Franklin; he soon be-
came the intimate friend OF the
Learned Philadelphia" and their
friendship seemed to increase daily.
In 1772 he served as negotiator with
the Iroquois and Delaware Indians,
and his good, conscientious work
among the natives brought for him
the worthy nickname. 'Truthtetler,"
by which name the Indians always
after called him. He was man of rare
abilities and had the peculiar requ1-
sites to make and keep friends where
ever he happened to wander. He was
called to the responsible duty of keep
ing minutes of the proceedings Of the
first Continental Congress in 1774, and
from that time until he resigned his
office in 1789-then fifty-nine years old
he was the secretary of that digni-
fled and important body.
John Adams called him 1.-The Sam
Adams OF Philadelphia, the life of the
cause of liberty" This certainly was
compliment. coming as it did from a
tried and honest patriot. Thomson, 1t
is true, made most diligent secre-
tary, and in that position he had the
rare pleasure of taking notes of all
the important congressional actions.
