The greatest diversity existed in the
"Thirteen Colonies," not only in
origin, but also in the character of
the people.
They were most of Hum descend

'opinionated, independent in thought
land action, henco there was con
jtinual friction brought about by var
I ious causes.
! 13 t frequent wars with the-In-
ulians and the oppression of Great j
i Britain, were two strong factors thatj
! finally were instrumental in soften-j
ling thtir animosities and welding tne
J colonists into a "union."
, A commentator wrote, "Colonial
I union was not accomplished by any
one act. It developed under the pres
sure of circumstances, as a senti-
ment in the minds of the people be-
j fore it existed as a fact in their his-
; tory."

years during which the American

A good story is told in connection
with the coinage of the first silver

time.

What doubts, what hopes, what
fears filled the minds of these able
statesmen as they realized that it
was not a theory, but a condition
they must meet. And we know how
nobly and satisfactorily they met it;
for out of it all was evolved the
Articles of Confederation, and later,
the Constitution of the United States.
The Articles of Confederation rep
resent the work of the Continental
Congress and were not accepted by

Jail of the colonies until 17S1.
We shall observe some of the de-
fects. There was but one branch of
government, and that was a congress
which consisted of but one house.
The greatest defect was that con

To return to our subject, the
Articles of Confederation contained
so many serious defects, that a con

errors. But it was soon discovered
that it

ation, and a new plan of government
was formed.
The result of this labor, which last
ed four months was "The Constitu
tion of the United States." In our
Constitution we have many
that are an improvement; as for in
stance, the government is divided
into three departments, called legis
lative, executive and judicial. There
are now two houses of congress and
greater power is given to congress.
Ncr was this result arrived at
without friction; on the contrary the
convention was the scene of many
heated debates for then, as now,
there were "many men of many
minds."
In order that the debates should be

jit not been for James Madison, a
member of the convention, we would

: interesting discussions that preceded
the edoption of each article,
j But James Madison took notes
'which he wrote cut fully each eve

since been published under the name
of "The Madison Tapers, " and the

izes how much opposition there was
I to some of the articles. So it was no
surprise that when the Constitution
was presented to each state separ
ately, that the states were slow in
ratifying it. Each state was very
jealous of its individual rights and
the Constitution was scanned by
watchful eyes before it was adopted.
The Constitution could not go into
effect until 9 of the 13 states adopted
it.
So strong va3 the opposition that
it was nearly a year before the neces
sary 9th state adopted it. Rhode Is
land was the last of the 13 to accept
it. The manuscript of the original
copy is preserved in the Congressional
Library at Washington, D. C.
The United States is a Christian
nation, and as such we havo always
asked for Divine guidance in all of
these momentous crises in our his
tory. We believe In an over-ruling
Providence and that In all thing3 ulti
mately, "right will prevail."

birthdays we celebrate this month,
