Mr.. Rihbany gave an intensely inter
esting talk, tracing the establishment Of
free government from its beginning to
the present day; dwelling especially
upon the fact that the celebration of the
Fourteenth of July is not on account of
our victory over another country, but
our winning of our freedom from a ty-
rannical king. and because we have
proved that we can govern ourselves
successfully, The Fourteenth Of July
is ftti-:gly celebrated by the whole
world, because a sister country did win
its freedom az years after we won
ours); and now all of the allied coun-
tries are fighting for the freedom Of
the world from all mlitarism. Mr.
Rihbany told Of a French soldiers phil
osophy of life. The following are the
soldiers exact words:
You are either modified or you are
rot modified. If YOU are not modified
there is 20 cause to worry; if you are
modified YOU are either called or you
