SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
BY +. A. WALKER

either toll or money. you would find
that scores and scores OF people had
been indirectly in your employ and
working i'm your behalf.
And. on the other hand. you have
the satisfaction of knowing II you do
an honest days work that you have
lgbored to help scores of others.
Ii Is the lack Of recognition given
10 the fact. that we are all dependent
each upon the other that leads TO our
greatest troubles. 1t Is that that pits
capital against labor and labor against
capital II is that that causes the war
between classes and the wars between
nations.
If you fully recognized your indebt-
edness 10 your fellow man, you would
want 10 help him because by doing so
you would he indirectly helping your
self.
If everybody in the world set out
To gouge and cheat everybody else in
the world. il would be onfy a short
commercially, and morally.
II is because only comparative
few try at one time TO get all they
can regardless of methods or results
that keeps the world on an even keel
and society from topping to destruc-
ton.
The more we recognize that we must
rely and depend upon each other, the
higher consideration we have for the
good of the world as a whole and the
more nearly we come To being truly
civilized.
God in His wisdom made no one alb
sOlute.
The only such power that has ever
been bestowed has been placed and
recognized by subjects who thought
they needed to be ruled, which was a
conclusion not very complimentary to
themselves.
Ii is really worth while for you to
think for a few minutes on what an
inefficient and incompetent being you
all outside aid. 1t will help you TO
be meek and in the greatest sermon
ever preached ii was said, Blessed
are the meek for they shall inherit
the earth"

How Bell Was Saved
When Howe Advanced
on the Quaker City.
BY Or. Howard S. Taylor.

On September IL, 1777, a warm,
bright day, the people of Philadelphia
stood around in the streets listening to
the faint sounds of cannon firing down
on Brandywine creek, about twenty
five miles away
They knew that a great battle was
going on between the American army
under Washington and the British.
commanded by General Howe.
And the Philadelphians listened to
the booming of the distant. guns with
passi0nately divided feelings.
There were many Tories living in
the city who were devoted to the Brit
ish cause and hoped that Howe might
triumph
There were also many devout Quak-
erS in those listening crowds who con-
scientiOusly abhOrred war-ultra paci-
fists who thought that the Americans
had no business to fight even in de-
Tense of their liberties
But large part of the population
Of Philadelphia were patriots who had
gotten the Declaration of independence
into their hearts at its first prOclama-
ton two months previously, and were
praying for Washington and his
ragged COntinentalS."
Sad News for Patriots.
The noise of battle commenced about
10 O'clock in the forenoon, but by night
fall the sounds ceased and a few
hours afterward the Philadelphians
learned that the Americans had met
with heavy losses, had been defeated
and We're retreating before a we'll
equipped army of invasion which out
numbered the patriot forces about two
to one.
Washington managed to reconcen-
trate his troops and slowly fell back
on Philadelphia-skir when
ever opportunity offered.

But Philadelphia was doomed 10 fall
into the hands of the enemy, and Al
exander Hamilton advised congress 10
pack and get out. On September Is
that body made hasty adjournment.
20 meet again at Lancaster. sixty-eight
miles away, and left Philadelphia that
night.
But before they adjourned they took
a thought about the Liberty Bell,
Congress determined 10 save the bell
If poSSiblel
1t was not a matter OF mere senti-
ment. The bell was comparatively new
then, and there were few sacred mem
cries clinging around it, The resolu-
ton of congress included some church
bells in the city also. In fact, con
gresS regarded the bells as just so
much metal which the British might
break up and cast into cannon.
Got to Allentown Safely.
SO the bells were ordered 10 retreat
TO a place Of safety at Allentown. fif-
ty miles away, and the executive CON-
mittee of congress was charged with
the duty Of supervising the Job.
Fifty miles over the winding dirt
roads those days was long, long way
The Liberty bell weighed 20S0 pounds.
and it may well be supposed that the
trip was made as quickly as possible.
There was a chance Shat British caval-
ry might come gallOping up at any
moment.
Going through the quiet village OF
Bethlehem. the wagon that bore the
great bell broke down and the escort
had TO unload and get another vehicle.
But the bell went on to its destina
tiop where. girdled by its defiant Bible
text, il waited for events.

of the most dreaded branches
of the French army was the

nous for its reckless bravery
and fearless courage as il was
conspicuous by reason of the
bright red and very baggy trous-

great increase in the range of
modern rifles rendered the red
uniform target for all sharp
shooters, SO the scarlet trousers
had To be replaced by a less con

reputation for daring-a reputa-
