81, Is Mime. G. J. Walker Of Indian
apolis, Ind. While In New York she
Is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Leila
Walker Robinson, at 10S West One
Hundred and Thirty-sixth street.
Nine. Walker has done much to en-
courage and help the women Of our
race to establish and maintain business
enterprises of their own. In this re-
spect she Is pioneer. Her philan-
thropic and charitable work extends
along many lines Of uplift. Besides
the large amounts which she con-
tributes yearly to charitable objects
her gifts In other directions within the
past four years run up into thousands
Of dollars.
She is naturally very modest, but
we feel that the public should know
something Of what is being done by

FROM A JULY 4 SPEECH
BY PRESIDENT WILSON.

Every patriotic American Is a man
who is not niggardly and selfish in the
things he needs that make for human
liberty and the rights of man, but
wants to share 1t with the whole world.
And he is never so proud of the great
flag as when 1t means for other people
as well as himself the symbol Of lib
erty and freedom. ! would be ashamed
Of this flag If it ever did anything out
side Of America that we would not per-
NIT 1t to do inside Of America. We
stand for the mass of the men, women
and children who make up the vitality
Of every nation.
The world is becoming more compli-
Gated every day. Therefore no man
ought to be foolish enough to think he
understands 1t. and that Is the reason
why am so glad to know there are
some simple things In the world. One
Of those simple things Is principle.
Honesty Is n perfectly simple thing

the window a firecracker fell from
above and shot off in her garden. An

A young man descended quickly by
means Of the iron ladder.

Angela uncovered her face and look

frightened" she said, looking at the
remains of the offending frecracker.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
1T was awfully careless Of me-" he
went on, standing on the bottom rung
Of the ladder. Angela's garden was
hardly large enough for two. 81 was

Angela felt that he was truly sorry.

interrupted. 81 have done enough mis-

The girl stopped over and began to
twist a willful vine into place. The
young man could not help hoping that
he might some day influence the rare
human flower before him along the
path he wished it to travel as easily
and gently as she twisted the nastur

He turned and began to climb the
ladder.

So the young man in the apartment
above Angela's garden found 1t neces-

after that Fourth Of July morning for
a little fresh air.
And Angela? 1t may be that her
flowers received less attention after the
Fourth Of July. But perhaps the ex-
ploding Of that firecracker hindered
their progress; smoke stunts the
growth. they say.
1t was raining one morning when
Angela opened the window. Close to
the ladder stood pot Of flowers which
Angela had not planted, one which she
had never seen. 1t was tall and green,
and all over 1t hung little red hearts.
She was glad 1t was raining and that
she could not go out among her fiow-

bells of Old Christ church were ring
ing as they did in 1776.
The entire church was filed with
persons who worshiped in the same
pews where 'knelt the churchmen and
patriots Of the Continental congress.
Bishop Garland, at the conclusion of
his address, read the following poem.
written by him for the occasion:
INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Lord, in thy house this sacred day
We kneel where patriots knelt to pray:
They pledged anew their faith in thee,
Then took up arms for liberty.
Not In their strength, but in thy might.
They trusted to defend the right,
And thou didst guide them by thy hand
And Established firm our fatherland.
God Of the patriots be our guide;
Protect this land for which they died;
Give US our fathers faith In thee
To live for truth and liberty.

CHURCH

~ LID Christ church, the historic
and sacred edifice in Philadel-
III phia where three-fourths of
- the signers Of the Declaration
of Independence worshiped, commem-
crates the nations birthday every year
with impressive patriotic and religious
services. Representatives Of the Lu-
theran, Presbyterian and Episcopalian
churches, the religious bodies that were
active in the life of Philadelphia when
Independence was declared, generally
participate in the services.
Last year the services took the form
Of prayer and thanksgiving to Al
mighty God for the blessing Of civil and
religious liberty. Addresses were made
by Bishop Garland, representing the
Episcopal church; the Rev. DR.. William
n. Roberts Of the Presbyterian general
assembly and the Rev. DR.. Edwin Heyl
Delk of the Lutheran church. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
Louis @. Washburn, rector Of Old
Christ church.
The order Of service was the one
adopted in 1855 by the church to be
used every year on the Fourth Of July.
The service was attended by repre-
sentatives Of President Wilson, Mayor
Blankenburg, the Colonial Danes, the
Sons Of the Revolution and Of the Pine
Street Presbyterian church, whose pas
tor, DR.. Duffield, like DR.. White, rector
Of Old Christ church, was a chaplain

WOMEN'S PART IN
INDEPENDENCE DAY
They Had Glorious Share In Win.
ming American Liberty.

TT has been said that in every wo.
mans breast there lies the posi-
bility Of great heroism. What
she can do when put to the test
is amply illustrated by the events of
history, not alone in our own country,
but in all others.
Anecdotes Of women Of the Revolu-
tion, showing what they did and what
they suffered in so doing, happy in the
thought that they were serving the
country they loved, are positively
thrilling.
One wonders how many young wom-

carry a message from one army to an
other across country fairly bristling
with hostile troops when not a man
could be found intrepid enough to take
a letter from General Greene to Gen
erai Sumter. Emily Geiger, a frail
young girl, undertook the task and set
out on horseback on sidesaddle. She
was intercepted on the second day
Of her Journey by Lord Rawdon, who
had her locked up until Tory matrOn
could be found to search her person.
