Our Pilgrim f%orebears and others,
having felt tho oppressive hand OF re-
ilgious persecution In England, removed
In 1908 from Scrooby in Nottingham
shire, England, to Amsterdam In Hol-
land, and thence to Leyden. These
English exiles, most OF whom were ag
riculturists or mechanics, felt the long

search for a resting place where they
could maintain their nationality, theil

above all, their freedom of religious

but all those who had come to these
shores in search of liberty. The obli-
cation rests upon all who have en-
joyed the blessing of civil liberty in this
country to resist with their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor all at
tempts to put an end to the principles
which were enunciated in it.
This spirit was plainly manifested in
the struggles for civil liberty in 1776,
in 1861, in 1898 and now again in the
last two years. Is it not then very
suitable, owing to so great a debt to
that little band of men and women,
that was involved in their action and
in their sacrifice, conferred so much
upon us, that we should at the proper
time pause in our work to do honor to
their memory?

subject to tax under this measure. The
