From Time Israel Was Liber.

tude, Liberty Has Adorned
Life With Flowers Of
Progress.

The ideal Of liberty born upon the
banks OF the Mile. IN the shadow Of
the sphinx has made great progress
but Il has not yet reached its goal

eregatlon last night In the course Of
a brilliant sermon on Law and Lib

tlons. Or. SLIDER spoke forcefully and
cloQuontly. He brought his hearers
across a maze OF most interesting
history, from the time Moses appear

the Pilgrims as Plymouth Rock and

the love OF individuals and races for
law and liberty.
Or. Sllber spoke IN part as foilows.
taking his text from Lev. XIV, 10.
The yearnins for liberty, the long

From that time 70 Tho present from
the time Israel was liberated from
Egyptian servitude, liberty has adorn-

hearts of men.
AS we Commemorate that event by
the celebration OF the Pesach or the
