"There!" said the delegate from Massachusetts. "George III will ho ahle to read that without his spec tacles." And as ho touched It tin Jind tilackened the henvy strokes of the quill he remarked to his fellow delegates: "Hut we must he unanimous; there must he no pulling different ways. We must ull hang to gether." "We must Indeed nil hang together," replied Ueiijniuln l-Ynnklln of rennsylvnnla, "or most us aiircdy we shall all hang separately." We Americans of 11K1 can read a lot between the lines of these two historic utterances, If we do a little digging Into huforu-tlic-ltcvolution .American history enough digging to get a clear idea of what brought about the Declaration of Independence. And it Is every good American's patriotic duty to do thut same digging and do lt now. Of course we're not nil tarred with the STntiie brush but to uso more time-honored Amer ican similes It's dollara to doughnuts that tho average American doesn't know enough to last Uiini ncross the street about the causes leading up. (to tho Revolution. And as for the Declaration It teelf he couldn't to save ills life tell what half of it means. This is a bad business In Itself and it's Sespeclally bad right now. ' For we are going to have n now kind of Fourth lof July celebration In tho United States of Amor lica. The Fourth has quit being tho day of llre works and casualties. And In the new kind of Fourth of July celebration the Declaration of In dependence will come to Its own ns tho crowning touch of public observance, The American Rev olution Is the greatest stepping-stone In the march of the centuries toward freedom and tho Declara tion of Independence Is Its symbol. Though the Declurutlon of Independence is to come back to Its own, the new Fourth will not !lie the day when the American Kagle screams nnd Hhe orator bawls because Uncle Sam handed John jltull a K O a century and u half ago. There uro jtwo reasons for this. une is tne worm war. jonn nun and undo Sam now stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of all that our common race holds dear of personal freedom nnd political Ideals. The other Is tho fact that tho Revolution was not n qunrrol between two peoples the Iirltlsh people nnd tho American people. It wns, In Its onrller stages at least, a strife between two dlft erent political and economic systems. It wns no tinrelnted event, but formed n part of the history of the race on both continents. There wns a Iirlt lsh revolution at the sumo time there was an Amerlcnn Revolution. Tho IlrttJsh revolution was to regain liberty. Tho American Revolution was to pro&ervo liberty. On both sides of the Atlan tic tho king's prerogatives were tho ulm of rev olutionary nttack. j Now, as to tho many things thnt may be rend between tho lines of what Hancock and Frank lin said, here's just a hint: Hancock was a ricli Bnerchant It was part of tho purpose of tho rltlsh troops nt Lexington nnd Concord to cap- uro linncocK. At tutu umo unncocic was re- ondent In tho Admiralty court in suits of tlio rown to recover nearly half a million dollars ns ponnltles alleged to have been Incurred for viola tion of tho laws of navigation and trade. Han cock had Inherited his fortune from his uncle, Thomas Hnncock. who had become wcnlthv smile- A" inline tea. So it was no more Minn right Mint John Hnncock should sign his mime large and plain to tho document which, Ifmudo good, would save him from lluunclul ruin nnd glvo him freo com merce with nil tho world. r Ilenjnmln Franklin, publisher, printer, philos opher and statesman, seventy-one years of ngo, the oldest member of congress, wns mora con corned with the polltlcnl than with tho commer cial aspects of the situation. He made a clever Jest, but no mnn Micro know better that Micro is mnny a true word spoken In Jest. . i So the truth Is that on our sldo of the ocean A Hho fundamental causes lending up to tho Revo 'jlution were both political nnd economic and pos plbly quite na much economic as political, To ar rive nt the main features of tho situation, tho fol lowing chronology la helpful: I 1700 Accession of George III.

The most casual glance at this skeleton chro nology shows It to be literally loaded to the muz zle with the eighteenth century equivalent of po litical and economic TNT. The American Revo lution was Inevitable, sooner or Intor. Tlio mar vel Is not Mint It came, but that out of the condi tions grew a nation. What a chnos It wnsl The title to the colonies was, not In the people of Knglnnd or In the state, but In the crown. Tlio crown could make and re peal lawa; could appoint rulers and remove them. The colonists were not citizens of the renlm, but fiubjecta of tho crown, having only such rights ns grunted them In their charters. The crown clnimcd nnd exercised tho right to amend or revoke theso cbnrtcrs. Such rights and no more did the Amerlcnn colpnlsts hnve, according to the view of the pnrty In England which stood for legal and constitutional prerogatives of the crown. These claims of tho crown were resisted by every col ony as Incompatible with Its essential rights ami by the nntl-prerogatlvo party In England. Of tho thirteen colonies beven were royal col onles, threo charter and threo proprietary col onics. Each colony waa related to the others only through tho crown. All the conditions tended rather to Intercolonial hate than love. Find tho causes that drove the colonics together and there are tho causes of tho Revolution. Georgo HI wns n stickler for tho king's pre rogatives. One of his ilrst nets In relntlon to the colonics was to rovlvo tho navigation nnd trado InwB which had been only nominally enforced for a century. As n mnt)er of fact nil tho colonies were technically smugglers, In that their evasion of theso laws gavo them practically freo trade. These laws were comprehensive and strict, being designed to give British merchants a monopoly of trade with the colonies and to protect British manufacturers against colonial competition. War ships were now placed along the coast to stop the colonial trade with France nnd Spain anil their West Indian colonies. The "Writs of As sistance" were general search warrants given to customs oillcinls to enable them to break Into and search any premises nt nny time. Jntncs Otis, the famous Boston lawyer, opposed the right of tho British government to Issue the writs or even to pass an act of trade Imposing n tax on tho colonies.' John Adams said of Otis' celebrated speech: "It breathed Into this nation the breath of life." Undoubtedly this situation was one of Mi contributing causes of the Revolution. .Then King George demanded that the colonic? pay the expense of a British army of about UO, 000 men to be qunrtered In America to protect tho colonU'S against the Indians. The colonies suspected the purpose of this army and would have none of It. Here was the beginning of real trouble a little later. The "Boston Tea Party" was n serious affair, not In Itself, but because parliament Immediate ly took measures to punish Boston and Massa chusetts. The closing of the port of Boston, the removal of the seat of government to Salem, the appointment of General Gage as governor of Mas sachusetts and the remodeling of the charter of Massachusetts constituted a warning to all the colonies that free government was In Imminent danger everywhere. On top of Mils enme the act providing that British oillcers or magistrates charged with murder or other capital crime should be tried In some other colony or In England; the net billeting soldiers on people who failed volun tarily to provide quarters nnd the" net extending tho iioundnrles of Quebec to the Ohio river atul establishing nn urbltrary form of government. This cumulation of activities on the part of Mo crown pectus to have convinced the. colonies thfit their only salvation lay In getting together for united nction. So the First Continental Congres met This congress wns merely deliberative and advisory; It Issued n declaration of rights; It formed nn association for carrying out the non. importation ngreement; it forwarded a petition to the king and set out an address to the col. oulea; It provided for another congress to meet In 1773. Still there was uo open discussion of Independence. It was Massachusetts which llnally set off the powder barrel. General Gnge summoned the pro vincial congress to meet In Salem, but put oft the date of assembling. The delegates met without him and bin counsellors. They provided for the appointment of a committee of safety and issued a call for 1U.000 "Minute Men." Parliament then declared Miusiichusetts to be In a state of re bellion. Noxt was the expedition out of Boston to seize powder and to nrrest the two chief "trait ors". Then came the "shots heard 'round the world" nnd bloodshed. The light was on. And still there wns no open movement for .Independence until nfter u year of bloody lighting. It was not until June 7, 1770, In the Second Continental Congress, that Virginia's Instructed delegate, Richard Hen ry Lee, Introduced the resolution beginning, "That these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, freo and Independent states" The Declaration of Independence, as drafted by Thomas Jefferson with the aid of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman nnd Robert It. Livingston nnd nmended by congress, consists of two principal parts : A statement of American polltlcnl Mieorles In justlflcutlon of Independcnco nnd a list of abuses by King Georgo III Mint hnd k operated to absolve tho united colonies from nil allegiance to tho British crown.

YOl'NO PUOI'LH AND ADULT TOPIC -h'uul'8 Burly Training and Kducatlon. Wo are now entering a six months study of the lire and teachings or one of the greatest men who ever lived. I. Saul's Birth (Acts i :'!). ills parents belonged to the tribe ot Benjamin and were "Hebrews or tho Hebrews," that is, Jews who have not become contaminated In their ancestry through intermarriage with the Gen tiles (Phil. :i:5). 1. Time or. it Is Impossible to deter mine the exact year of his birth, but the probability Is that It was practi cally the same as that or Jesus, lie was a "young man" when Stephen was stoned (Acts 7:08). "Young man" may mean any ago lrom twenty to thirty. About 00 A. I. In the Koman prison lie calls himself "Paul the aged" (Phi lemon ).Thls distinction would hardly bo appropriate lor a man under sixty. '2. Place of (v. at)). Tarsus, the cap ital of the Province ot Clllcla. Repre sentative business men came hero from all parts or tho world. It was a seir governlng city which made citizenship therein honorable. Besides, It was one of the three great educational centers of the Roman empire. God's provi dence ordered that the apostle to Mm Gentiles should be born In a city where ho would encounter men of every class and nation, making him broad In Mm sympathy and tolerant In his dealings with others. II. Saul's Home Training. (Deut. 0: It); cf. II Tim. :i:ll. 10). He was brought up In a pious homo (Phil. '1:5). In the passages cited above Is given the responsibility or a Jew In the training or his children. 1. Central truths to be taught (vv. 1, 5). (1) Unity of God. ''The Lord our God Is one Lord." This was a tes timony against the polytheism existing among tho Gentiles or that day. He Is God alone, therefore to worship an other la sin. The word translated "God" Is plural In form, giving room for the doctrine or tho Trinity Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The great need or the world is a recognition of tho fundamental doctrine or tho unity and trinity of the Godlieud. There can be no established order until God Is given His rightful place; neither can there bo any moral health. (U) Man's su preme obligation (v. 0). God should bo loved with nil the heart, soul ami might, because He Is God alone and supremo. This being the tlrst and great commandment, we know what is man's supremo duty. 2. How these truths nro to be kept olive (vv. 00). The place for God's Word Is In the heart. In order that It may bo In the heart (1) "teach It dili gently to thy children" (v. 7). Tho most Important part of a child's educa tion Is that given by parents In the Word of God. ('.) Talk of them In the homo (v. 7). How blessed Is that home where God's Word Is the topic ot conversation. CO Talk of them when retiring for tho night (v. 7). The last thing upon which Mie mind should1 rest before going to sleep should be God nnd His truth. (0) Tulk of them when rising In tho morning (v. 7). How fit ting that God should spenk to us the llr.st thing when we awake I (0) Bind them upon thine hand (v. 8). This was literally done by the Jews-, even to the wearing of little boxes between their eyes. (7) Write them upon the posts of the houses and on the gates (v. 0). Doubtless Timothy's homo training was similar to Saul's (11 Tim. :U, lf). From n child Timothy wua taught the Holy Scriptures (11 Tim. l:f). This was done in the home by his mother. III. Saul's Education (Acts 12:!1). 1. In college at Jerusalem. A Jewish child became a child of the law at the age of thirteen. Most likely at this ngo he went to Jerusalem to enter upon his course or study. Here ho sat at the reet or Gamaliel, one or the most -eminent teachers that ever blessed Is rael, Thu course or study hero wus restricted to the Holy Scriptures. J. A trade at Tarsus. Perhaps after Mulshing his college course at Jerusa lem lie returned to Tarsus and learned a trade. One rabbi snld, "He that teach ctlMiot his son a trade doeth the sumo us lr he had taught him to steal." The trade he learned was tent making. This came in very good in his Inter lire, en abling him, to support himself while preuclilng the gospel. A Handful With Quietness. Better Is an handful with quietness, than both tho hands full with travail nud vexation of spirit. EcclcsltiBtes 4:0. Stearns1 Electric Paste Alio Hllltrc DEATH to WAttrbnga, Am, IUtt ami Mice.
