A Lost Combination.
The Chinese had all the grand secrets
of electrical discoveries more than 3,000
jears ago, and they made use of the
magnet as loadstone long before that.
Historical records show where their ar
mies were led across the vast plains of
the interior of the nation by a combi
nation of electricity as a combined
power of loadstones and some other
substances unknown to the Celestials
of the present day.
This form of electricity is among the
lost arts and must come to the front
with other grand discoveries within the
next few years. But not the great and
learned shall have the benefit of this
forthcoming discovery in electricity.
The one who shall have this golden
key to a grand electric mystery shall
have the fruits of his labors.

Rut though the birth certificate of an

't is not so carefully preserved as Is
the birth certificate of a nation. Then
the sentimental as well as the intrinsic
value places it above the price of silver
and gold. If possible it is carefully
housed within the sacred hall wherein
the nation was born. The paper upon
which is written the Declaration of In

birth certificate. Other nations came
to recognition by the slow processes
of evolution, but the United States of

Standing here, in this year of grace
1903. with our hands upon this venera
ble and sacred scroll, we may learn the
mighty lesson that the really true, the
great, the omnipotent and enduring
government is not that which rules by
force of arms, but by the all conquer
ing power of justice, and of justice
alone. This is the historical teaching
of England's mistake In 177G. We
have now a great nation, stretching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the gulf of Mexico to the great
lakes—a nation of over 70,000,000 souls.
But our people will remain a great na
tion only so long as they are an honor
able and an honored people. Beware
of the legislation that would make one
law for the rich man and another for
the poor man. Beware of the law
that would send an ignorant criminal

An Immortal 1’niter.
The Declaration of Independence as
a document is our theme today. I am
going to lay down upon my pulpit
desk a facsimile of this immortal pa
per. I do this for two reasons. First,
it is the last Sabbath preeeding our
national Independence day; lienee it is
fitting and appropriate for patriotic
themes. The second reason Is that u
few weeks ago. after the death of a
very dear friend, the facsimile of the
Declaration of Independence which I
now place before you came into my
possession. I have read it over and
over again. I have read it in the
chirography of Thomas Jefferson and
in the handwriting with which the at
tending statesmen signed it. 1 have
read it with all its corrections and
interlineations. I have read it with
entirely different feelings from those
with which 1 used to regard it when
it came to me in cold and unimpas-
siotiiJ type. This most sacred docu
ment of American history appears to
me in an entirely new aspect, and from
it today I would glean some new moral
deductions for the everyday struggles
of our practical lives.
The Declaration of Independence was
the startling culmination of manly in
tolerance of injustice. The document
was not, as some people suppose, the
result of a long and carefully planned
conspiracy extending over many years.
It seemed rather to have been the out
growth of the moment. It was the
crystallization of sentiments the results
of which but few men could foresee.
The British ministry had not antici
pated it, neither had the American peo-
ple. When the First Continental con
gress assembled in Philadelphia, on
Sept. 5,1774, there was probably not one
prominent leader in all America who
wished for national independence with
the sole exception possibly of Samuel
Adams of Boston. “Before the 17th of
April, 1775,” wrote Thomas Jefferson,
“I had never heard a whisper of a dis
position to separate from the mother
country.” “When I first took command
of the army, July 3, 1775, I abhorred
the idea of independence,” wrote
George Washington In one of his let
ters, “but I am now convinced that
nothing else will save us.” All that
the American colony wished from Eng
land was not separation, but Justice.
For night and Jnattce.
The two countries in every essential
part of their make up were one. They
spoke the same language. Many fam
ilies had brothers and sisters and other
relatives in both countries. The chil
dren of prominent Americans were for
the most part educated In English
schools, where they were taught to
reverence the British king. When
Richard Henry Lee arose on the mem
orable 7th of June, 1770, and read the
following resolution: “Resolved, That
these united colonies are and of a
tyranny of labor, but should afford
equal protection to both and facilitate
mutuality of interests and friendly re
lations between them. It is only when a
government honestly tries to adminis
ter equal justice and afford equal pro
tection to all its subjects that it gathers
the robes of immortality about its
loins. When a government by unwise
laws and administrative neglect makes
possible the enslavement or oppression
of its seemingly helpless ones such a
government is paving the way for its
own disintegration. Had King George
III. been a wise ruler and had Britain
tried to be as just to the thirteen colo
nies in 1770 as she is honestly trying
to be to her colonies at the present
time our country might have remained
the brightest jewel in the British
crown. Would that our own land,
profiting by this great lesson, so closely
interwoven with our national birth and
chMdhood, might always be just to the
helpless, the weak and the poor as well
as to the rich, the influential and the
strong.
Strength In the Right.
The strength of our present govern
ment is due to the fact that It tries to
be just to all its people, irrespective of
class. “Ours is a govermneut,” said
Theodore Roosevelt in a recent speech,
“of liberty through and urder the law.
No man is above it. and n<> man is be
the l nited States. The name of Philip
Livingston among the signers suggests |
those of Robert R. and Edward and
\\ illlam. Roger Sherman, who was
one of the great speakers at this con
vention, was a member of the distin
guished Connecticut family of that
name, among whose descendants is the
present able senator from Massa
chusetts, George Frisbie Hoar. El-
bridge Gerry’s name suggests not one
Elbridge Gerry, but many Elbridges.
Morris not only means Lewis Morris,
but also that of his great brother,
Gouverneur Morris. The recounting
of these family names alone would
prove conclusively that there is some
thing in heredity. It would prove that
when a man conies from a good ances
tral stock it is not as difficult for him
co be good or great as if he were born
a nobody, the grandson and the great-
grandson of nobodics.
An EncournirinK A*nnr«nce.
Mj - friends, in whose veins flows the
blood of ancestors who fought at Bun
ker Hill and Brandywine and Saratoga
and Princeton, shall you not serve your
country as nobly and faithfully as did
the soldier boys and statesmen of 1770
and 17N3? Can it be that we, whose
forefathers had so glorious a share in
the struggle for national independence,
shall ourselves have uo part, no honor
able position in the struggles that are
going on in 1903 to keep our nation
pure and good and true? In olden
times tlie Scottish youths were inspir
ed to deeds of valor by the knowledge
that they were members of the clan
MacGregor or Campbell or Stuart or
McCoy. They were inspired with the
determination never to disgmee the
familj’ name. It Is recorded that in
one of the northern battles the Mac
Gregors were being driven back. Their
chief rallied Ids followers and led them
forth to a victorious charge with the
cry: "My moil, come on! Come on!
l ight like brave men! Your ancestors
are today watching you!” So let us be
brave and true to America’s best inter
ests, not only for our own sakes, but
also for the sake of those illustrious
ancestors who are watching us. Let
this national anniversary be to us a
day of consecration to the cause of
rigid and freedom. As the mother of
Hannibal led her son to the grave of
Hamilcar, his sire, and there made him
swear unceasing war against the en
emies of his country, so may we, re
membering the graves of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence,
pledge ourselves anew to the struggle
against the evils which menace the
greatness and righteousness of the na
tion that they established.
The Declaration of Independence is
an encouraging assurance that in ev
ery crisis of our country’s lustory God,
if we trust him, will always raise up
the right men for the right place. Who
was Thomas Jefferson, the penman of
the Declaration of Independence?
“Oh,” you answer, "he was oue of the
greatest Americans who ever lived. He
was the third president of the United
States. He was a man at whose men

But while the members of the Conti
nental congress of 1770 were brave
men, they were also, as a class, pray

who believed In God. They were men

three years of age. He had just en
tered public life and had become a
member of the Virginia delegation but
a few months before. In the realm of
debate be could not be classed among
tbe great advocates — John Adams,
Roger Sherman, Oliver Walcott, Lee
aud George Wythe. As a writer he
had no such influence in fostering the
independence idea as had Samuel
Adams. For the most part, in the de
liberations of the Continental congress,
he sat as a sphinx with closed lips.
Yet because Richard Henry Lee had
proposed the resolution of secession
and also liecause Lee was compelled to
absent himself from congress on ac
count of his sick wife and as congress
wanted to honor Virginia by appoint
ing a Virginian in Lee’s place this
master mind, the young and compara
tively unknown Thomas Jefferson, was
pushed forward, and he became the
author of the famous Declaration of
Independence.
Trust In God.
I repeat. In the great crisis of na
tional affairs God, if we only trust
him. will give us the right men for the
right places. Did he not give the right
man for the right place when he gave
Thomas Jefferson as the writer of this
immortal document? Did he not give
the right man for the right place when
George Washington became tbe head
of the American armies? Did not God
give tbe right man for the right place
when, at the breaking out of the civil
war, Abraham Lincoln became presi
dent of the United States? Did not
God give us the right man for the
right place when William McKinley

crime of greed, the crime of violence-
all are equally crimes, and against
them all alike the law must set its face.
This is not and never shall be a gov
ernment of the plutocracy or of the
mob. It is, as it has been and as It
will be, a government of tbe people,
including alike the people of great J
wealth, of moderate wealth, the people
who employ others, the people who are
employed—including them all, protect
ing each and every one if he acts de
cently and squarely and discriminating
against any one if he does not act
squarely and fairly, If he does not
obey the law. While all people are
foolish If they violate the law or rebel
against It—wicked as well as foolish,
but all foolish — yet the most foolish
man in this republic is the man of
wealth who complains because the law
is administered with impartial justice.”
May God always continue to give to
us for the office of chief executive men
who are presidents of the whole peo
ple, who will see that the government
is not a Wall street hireling or a gigan
tic monopolizing trusts’ employee; who
will protect the rich as well as poor,
black as well as white, Jew as well as
gentile, woman’s virtue as *ell as
man’s honor; who will not cringe to a
class, but who will protect and guide
all honest people alike!
The Declaration of Independence
proves the power of Inherited character.
I am not nearly so much impressed
with the surnames which have been
placed at the foot of this Important
document as I am by the family names
themselves. When I mention certain
names there seem to cluster about
them many other names. John Adams!
Who was he?' “He was our colossus in
debate,” wrote Jefferson. But as I
speak the name of John Adams l speak
also of Samuel Adams, John Quincy
Adams, Charles Francis Adams, senior
and Junior, and other Adamses who
have added luster to the Adams name.
When I speak the name of Richard
promineut Episcopalian minister of
Philadelphia should be sent for and
asked to lead the members in prayer
to God. Samuel Adams, I think it was,
seconded that motion. He said in sub
stance: “I am not an Episcopalian, but
I am not a bigot. I feel that God’s
hand must lead us in lids national
crisis. I second the motion.” The mo
tion was carried. The next day this
Episcopalian minister came to the leg

sheer temerity for those men to sign

lieved that God would be with them in
the struggle that must ensue. And
their faith was justitied by the result.
The God who heard the pleading of the
Israelites in the wilderness heard the
prayers of that Continental congress. In
