Fifty young people were present, besides " their leaders—Mrs. T. E. Atkinson, Mrs. M. B. Mooney, Mrs. R. J. Barnett, Mrs. Jas. Thoroughman, and several privi leged guests, who engaged the rendi tion of important events in the estab lishment of our government and church, when our republic was young, und even before its birth. Miss Zebeline Murray, as Susannah Wesley, was an attractive figure in costume of black. The Wesleys divided honors with Washington in service to the nation. John and Charles Wesley were presented, and a brief history of each was given by their representa tives. Their songs, “Jesus Lover of My Soul," and others, were sung with as much spirit as “America" and "Star Spangled Banner.” Betsy Ross, maker of the first American flag, demonstra ted how she with one clip of her scis sors cut the five-pointed star, that decorated “Old Glory. ” We wore told in the same historic building where the (lag was made President] Wilson is having a handsome national (lag made, the Governor of each State contribut ing a star, the llag io be unfurled at the opening of the Panama Canal, while all over the United StateB bunds will play “The Star Spangled Banner.” Thomas Jefferson, author of and the singers of the Declaration of Indepen dence were seated around a table, und each roBe and gave his name and State.
