To Be Remembered
On Bill Of Rights Day

The 158th anniversary Of the
ratification of the Bill of Rights
of the Constitution will be marked
Thursday-known to patriotic
organizations and students Of
American history as Bill of Rights
Day.
This anniversary recalls to the
minds of historians the activities
of George Mason Of Gunston
Hall, whose mansion in Fairfax
County now is a public shrine.
The Bill of Rights, or 10 amend
ments to the Constitution. be-
came effective December Is, 1791,
when Virginia. the 10th State to
do so, ratified the changes.
Fifteen years earlier. Mason
had framed a document which
formed a basis for the Bill OF
Rights. This was the Virginia
Declaration of Rights, adopted
at Williamsburg, June IL. 1776.
Thomas Jefferson drew on 1t IN
assembling the principles set
forth in the early paragraphs OF
the Declaration of Independence
Mason also wrote much of the
original Constitution of Virginia
Active at Convention.
Later. he became one OF the
most active members of the Con-
stitutional Convention in Phila-
delphia. He refused to sign the
Constitution because he had a
number of strong objections to
features OF it. One Of these was
absence of a Bill of Rights.
Mason, the fourth of his name
and line in Virginia, settled at
Dogue's Neck on the Potomac. At
that time he controlled, through
inheritance, approximately 5000
acres, most of it in the Northern
Neck of Virginia. He built Gunston
Hall in the period 1858. Despite
his long career in public life. he
regarded himself as primarily as
a proprietor Of lands and per-
sonally managed his plantation.
Louis Hertle. a retired Chicago
merchant, bought Gunston Hall in
1912 and made its restoration and
preservation his chief interest.
He died last September at SO.
Deeds Estate to Virginia.
Mr.. Hertle decided the estate to
Virginia in 1882, reserving a life
tenancy to himself. He provided
that 1t should be managed after
his death by a board of regents
appointed by the Governor Of
Virginia on nomination of the
National Society OF Colonial
Danes of America.
In addition to the mansion
house, the estate includes exten-
sive gardens and notable plant
ings of lockwood dating from the
occupancy of the original owner.
Gunston Hall was open to the
public during the annual Vir-
ginia Garden Week and occasion

DIR. PETER MARSHALL
PASSES TO HIS REWARD


byterian Church, Washington,
D. c., and the chaplain-minis-
ter who opened the Senate ses-
sions with earnest words of
Prayer, gems of eloquence,
passed away January 25th,
1949, of a heart attack.
The Rev. Marshall, born in
Scotland 46 years ago, reared
against a bleak and uncon-
genial background, earned his
bread in his youth, as a labor
er. His formal education was
limited to a mechanical and
mining college at Coatbridge,
Scotland; and later he attend
ed the Columbia Seminary at
Decatur, Georgia. Most Of his
scholarly achievements he
owed to his own inquiring
mind. He was a great preach
er because Of an inner genius,
a force of faith which demand
ed expression in human min
istry.
Perhaps one explanation of
DR.. Marshall's power might be
found in the fact that he was
"a son of the people and kept
in touch with them even when
he had risen to high station.
One day last year, for in
stance, when a controversial
issue was before the Senate,
DR.. Marshall prayed: "Give us
the courage to be either hot
or cold, to stand for something
lest we fall for anything" And
on other occasions: "Save us
from hot heads that would
lead us to act foolishly, and
from cold feet that would keep
us from acting at ALL" "Save
us from the sin of Worrying,
lest stomach ulcers be the
badge of our lack of faith.'
The funeral service was at
tended by 1900 persons. Those
that could not get inside the
church stood outside, listening
to the service over loud speak
ers.
Vice President Barkley,
many members of Congress
and other high government Of
ficials attended the rites;
among them: Senators Stennis
of mississippi; McKeller of
Tennessee; Rep. Hobbs of Ala
bama; Rear Admiral William
N. Thomas, chief of Navy chap
lains; Maj. Gen. Luther D.
Miller, chief of Army chap
lains; Bishop Angus Dun; also
more than 40 clergymen.
The services were conducted
by Rev. Robert T. Bridge, as
sistant pastor of the church.
A prayer was read by Rev.
DR.. Clarence Crawford of Cal
vary Baptist Church. Imme-
diately after the service DR..
Crawford left for the Senate
to read the last prayer prepar-
ed by DR.. Marshall-it reads:
''Deliver us, our Father from
futile hopes and from clinging
to lost causes, that we may
move into ever-groWing calm
and overwhelming horizons.
Where we cannot convince, let
us be willing to persuade, for
small deeds done are better
than great deeds planned. We
know that we cannot do every
