He was roundly berated saying it, yet no doubt he spoke the thought many practical politicians of his timeand of all time Moreover, Ingalls’ cynicism put into words the faith and pract of many a en who can forgive the party leader anything except being found out. In like manner there were those who grew to think that the Declaration of Independence, while it was a fine mouth-filling sermon to read on the Fourth of July, was a bit too idealistic for every-day use and better adapted to be an aspiration than a realization. On the Nation’s birthday, this year, two things happened. At Independence Hall, in Phi representatives of thirty different national their signatures to a pledge of alle country. This pledge was a excoriation of another German madman, old King George. At Mount Vernon, representatives of every nationality em- braced in our composite citizenship assembled to do honor to the Father of His Country—the man whose sword completed the work of Jefferson's pen This is a national unity worth having, because it is built upon the only foundation that can dure—the very bedrock of our republi Thank God, the Deca- logue and the Golden Rule and the Declaration are here to stay!

Nathan went into the presence of the Oriental spot, whom to offend was death, and told him of his sin in an allegory Then, with a directness simple but sublime. Nathan looked David in the eye, and exclaimed “Thou art the man!” There arose in these latter days a kaiser far worse than was David at his worst.
