L Thomas I would like to see Independence day observed In the old fashioned way In my boyhood In the locality In which I lived Ived all the children were assembled at atthe atthe atthe the church and under the care caro of their Sunday school teachers were taken to the green woods and fields to spend the day dayn In n pastimes suitable for the occasion There Is a marked difference in the manner of celebrating the day between then and now I believe the remedy Is Isto Isto isto to look after the children and to find a pleasant wa way for them to pass pas the tho day to o restore the old time picnic This will I give C us a safe and sane old time jJ Fourth rf Bishop F. F S. S Spalding In the observance of Independence day dayI I think that public opinion should be he aroused to make malc it of greater value In promoting intelligent patriotism The declaration of Independence because of which we wo celebrate the Fourth of July Jub was an Insistence to rights of or all men men men- life ure liberty and happiness Therefore the celebration of the Fourth of ot July should be bo devoted to an insistence upon those rights for all men women and children who live in the United States today It is useless to send up sk skyrockets and firecrackers in honor of or victories gained over o a ct century ago if we arc are true to the sprits spirits of our forefathers We Ve must fight ight today tlC the greed and heartless commercialism commercialism com- com that are aio depriving thousands of f life lite liberty and happiness It is almost almost al- al most a a. pity that It should be superseded In n any way by Labor day for Labor day was as founded to promote a present application application application cation of ot the tho principles indorsed on the tho first Fourth of or July We should phoud enthuse patriotism Into the youth and let the flags float In the breeze I I Speeches el ba bearing on the origin of ot the day should h he made |
