Celebrating the 4th
On July 4th 1774 a few colon Ut*
scattered alone the Atlantic C'oant in
Americn declarwfrtbemselve* a free
" - ' '
and independent people and threw off
the yoke of European power* who had
claimed, up to that time, to hold the
right to levy taxea on these colonic*
and make their law*. To throw off thi*
yoke of homage »» a m ghty under
taking for them, for king* have al
wa> asse.rted their right* to the
limit, and have never hesitated to
-acrifice life to carry their point.
The colonies knew full well when
they declared their liberty what they
were doinjr, for it was Ben Franklin
who Mid on the occasion of signing
the Declaration of Independence that
"We shall cither hang together now
or hang separately," and the expres
sion ha* come down to us and i^hows
that these men were fully aware of
what they were doing.
Apain the colonics, now grown to a
powerful nation, are in war againtt
the kings. Again the colonies will
I
win, for the :.me spirit that prompted
I the actions of 1776 will be found to
I* the motive behind this country in
the present trying hour. And so
Ore as (i(>d rules in the universe, and
I nothing is more certain, just so sure
the colonies wilt again win.
