To say something appropriate of
| Independence day in the past is not
altogether easy for an Englishman.
We have rejoiced in 1t as commemo-
rating the birth of a mighty nation
bound to us by common ancestry.
common traditions common ideals
and aspirations.
We have welcomed 1t as an annual
reassertion Of the great principle of
freedom which is the charter of
united nations of our British COM
monwealth no less than the United
States of America.
But mingled with our rejoicing has
inevitably been the shadow of regret
at the thought that the first assertion
of that principle by America should
have been accomplished by grievous
MISUNDERSTANDING between English
men and Americans. echoes which
only died away within our genera
tion.
Today. when Americans and Britons
In every part of the world.are stand
ing shoulder to shoulder to seal with
blood, common faith. Justice and free
dom, the last vestige of that shadow
has finally vanished.
Independence day now bears for US,
as it does. I believe. for Americans
ing and purpose than ever before.
For upon that day America is no
longer standing apart, but Joined in
the great brotherhood of arms
against the enemies of Justice and
freedom the world over, dedicatinR
herself afresh to liberty, not of hemi-
sphere, but Of mankind.

This is the most momentous ami
versary of Independence day America
ever spent. The first independence day
celebrated freedom of one nation.
This celebration finds America en-
gagged with allies in the struggle for
independence not of one nation. but
the whole world. The struggle is Sc
we're and requires ungrudingly the
energies and resources Of all those
countries fighting against military
autocracy of Germany and its dupes
have no doubt from her illimitable
resources America will find proper
quota of men, ships and munitions
but help must be given as rapidly as
possible.
Men are willingly laying down their
lives every day for the great cause,
and the quicker the decisive result is
reached the less the loss of life will
be. No doubt it is in the power of the
allies to achieve a victorious peace
Let America put forth all energies in
order to assure that the struggle is

There is no more striking event in
ence of the American troops side
side in the battle line with their oIH
opponents in the war for independ-
ence. The union of the British and
American races is the bulwark OF
liberty in the world. whether in peace
or in war. and I believe Canada will
play an important part in bringing
the two sundered parts of the Anglo
saxon races into even more close rela
tonship than friendship.

"HIS BRIDAL NIGHT

The speed limit is likely to be ex
ceeded when the music farce, :" His
Bridal Night comes to the Dixie
Theatre on Friday night, pril 10.
Produced last year it served to crowd
the theatres Of the principal cities
where it played public and critics pro-
nounced it a brilliant package Of fun,
done up in gay colors. Probably the
most attractive part Of the story is it's
youthfulness, as it concerns the love
affairs OF two very young ladies, twin
sisters, whom none can tell apart
One af the twins is married in the first
act, quarrel with her husband and con
vinces herself that she prefers her
SISTER s sweetheart. The other girl up
on discovering her with the Young
man determines to teach her a lesson
and without thinking Of the embarras-
sing possibilities that might ensue, i'm
personates the bride and begins the
wedding journey with the bridegroom.
The bride becomes repentant and then
enraged upon discovering that she has
been left out Of her own honeymoon,
and follows them with the other young
man. When they arrive at the cottage
in Tuxedo, the husband is still at a
loss to tel which list he bride and the
young man cannot tell which is his
sweetheart when both are together.
The girls being angry with each other
and also with the young men refuse to
set matters right and the humorous
complications are many.
/ The story sounds risque, but it new
yer oversteps the bounds, the humor
of the situations being used with
splendid restraint by that expert
farceur, Margaret Mayo, whose s'Twin
Beds met with merited success.
Frederick V. Bowers who starred in
9 The Girl Question and "My Gin
derellla Girl and who has been a
heariiner in the leading vaudeville
housese since them, viii portray the role
of the distracted husband. The sher-
idan Sisters, Ethel and Ruth, twins in
real life, are the twins Of the play.
Alma Youlin the prima donna with
Hymans and McIntrye in "My Home
Town Girl last season vii play the
fchaperoning aunt who losses her chan
ces; Billy Wayne is the nlystifed lover

A SAD DEATH

On April l, while the starts Of
Heaven give their cleaning light, at
the will Of Our Lord, the cold hand Of
death came to the home ofMr. Hill
Ward and took him away from his
family, after but short Hines.
Mr.. Ward was a good neighbor, and
true to his faith. He was a member of
Carpharts Church, and no truer man
ever lived to his church and Sunday
school He has been a member for
forty years and he has been superin-
sendent most Of the time.
We members of the Sunday school
don t know how to meet without see
ing the silvery hair Of Mr.. Ward.
This was the saddest death to the
writer, because I shall miss him so
much and the good words he SO often
spoke as a church and Sunday school
worker.
Mr. Ward stood for every good cause
that was brought before him and he
died just as he lived.
He leaves an aged widow, one son,
Jordan Ward and one daughter, Mrs.
4. J. Bran, aand host Of friends to
mourne WITH them.
The funeral services was conducted
by his pastor, Rive. W. R. Haight, at
ter which the remains were laid to rest
on a high hill at the David White
home place where the rays Of sunlight
rise upon his grave.
He is now face to face with his
Master and there to wait for those OF
his loved ones that he has left behind.
It came upon the early night that
