Observance Sesqui-
Centennial with
Special Exercises

Impressive ceremonies IN observ-
ance of the sesqui-centennial of the
Declaration of Independence were con-
Quoted at the Common at 4 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon before a large gath
ering of representative citizens. The
meeting was presided over by Mayor
w. n. Price. The orator of the day
was Hon. William Tudor Gardiner,
speaker of the. Maine House of Repre-
sentatives, who based his talk on the
true meaning of the document. He de-
clared that the signing of the Decla-
ration of Independence was the initial
step of an ordered system of life un-
der which the individual is given more
and better opportunities to serve his
brethren. Religious freedom should
be one of our most priced possessions,
said the speaker, and tolerance IS nee
essary that the person of one religion
may not disagree with his neighbor IN
other things than the exact method
of worship.
The Declaration of Independence
was read by Samuel Slosberg, who
had an honor Grafton in the recent
high school graduation exercises. The
patriotic solo Columbia. the Gem of
the Ocean," was sung by Mrs. Norman
e. Fleming, who led the gathering in
the singing of America"
>other pRriotic selections We're rem
dered by the Gardiner band The min
listers of the city who took part in the
service were Rev. Milo G. Folsom, pas
tor of the Universalist church, who
led the prayer, while benediction was
pronounced by the Rev. FIR. T. II. Rear
don, pastor of st. Joseph's church.
