US be a people of spirit and prin-
ciple and let the spiritual be placed
above the material. We must begin
by conquering the enemy within us,
mental and spirit laziness, then we
can work out into the community and
farther on. Happiness, which is ac-
Quired through character and right
living is much greater and reveals a
much truer and fuller life than any
material wealth.
Neat Collection for Band.
A few songs were rendered by the
entire audience and a collection TAX
en- for the benefit of the band re-
suited in the neat sum of $47.45. The
profits at the refreshment stand which
the Young Peoples Society had de-
cided to give to the band also,
amounted to $15.05, making a total
of $62.5O. The money can be used to
good advantage by the band boys for
new music and the repair of old in
struments or purchase of new ones,
and they are very thankful for the
liberal collections which naturally
spurs them on and creates a feeling
of being appreciated.

ASKOV OBSERVES
FOURTH OF JULY
The Rev. A. f. Frost Gave Patriotic
Address; Band Played: Sports
Enjoyed.
BY Osborne
C ~ western Newspaper uassal

The Fourth of July celebration held
at the Danish Folk Society park in
Askov village under the auspices of
the Young Peoples Society was at
tended by a good sized local crowd.
The weather was ideal and under the
pretty shade trees and comfortably
seated on benches folks listened 70 a
good patriotic Grafton by the Rev. A.
E. Frost, local pastor. Music was
furnished by the local band and re-
freshments were enjoyed as was also
diamond ball games, other sports, and
visiting by the older folks.
No Time for Sentimentality.
The Rev. Frost spoke of the days
of 1875 when America declared its
independence, making also some COM
parison with those days and the days
of 1880. The speaker started out by
saying that it would not be any of
the hip-hip Murray talk nor would it
contain the boosting or sentimentality
tinge He said he desired to touch
the heart strings of his listeners.
This is no time for sentimentality
but it is time for real thinking, said
the Rev. Frost. We must have a
realization of our great duties to our
country on the battlefield of peace.
He quoted Mahatma Gandhi, the In
dian leader, who said, patriotism is
nothing less than all humanity" An
other phrase used was: patriotism is
not enough, l must have hatred to-
ward no one" by Edith Carvel.
In 1916 their great principles OF
freedom and equality for all were
their religion and the declaration OF
independence was born through the
behind these principles was the spirit
Of freedom for all and forever Those
pioneers labored with tongue and pen,
and finally when that was not enough
many gave their lives. They were
real men and women with backbone
and not wishbOne.
All men are created equal-a part
of Gods plan-was the creed OF 1776
and life to them meant much more
than material things. 1t was the
spiritual atmosphere that ruled. A
great people who knew their rights
brought forth this new and independ-
ent nation. These principles had
been thought of and worked for be-
fore, but never before had they been
so proclaimed by an entire nation.
1t was not a decree by a dictator but
spontaneous out-pouring by lib
erty loving people.
Birth does not take place without
suffering, said the Rev. Frost, and
so in the birth of this nation there
was also suffering, and the result was
not the product of science nor know
ledge. but the product of deep spirit
ual insight. Turning to the present
the speaker warned that we must not
sink into pagan materialism-if
we do we are doomed. We must not
abandon the cause of our fore-fathers
righteousness must prevail. No man
can live On bread alone.
The Speaker Asks Questions.
The speaker then asked a few ques-
tions: Is the spirit of 1776 the spirit
of 1880? Was it the spirit in the
formation of the Hawley-Smoot tariff
bill? Foreign countries are retaliat-
ing. Was that bill the spirit for all
