No Death for 4‘
e e i S i s
on the one hundred and fourth anmi
versary of the death of the two men.
1 At the approach of the semicen
tenary of the Declaration of Indepen
dence in 1826 the American people
turned their eyes and thoughts to two
aged fellow-citizens: Jefferson, the au
thor of the Declaration, and Adams,
whom Jefferson himself had variously
described as “the pillar of its.support
on the floor of congress,” “its ablest
advocate and defender,” ‘“our colos
sus,” “our bulwark in debate.” The
first had turned eighty-three, and the
latter was more than half way along
in his ninety-first year. Although it
was well known that both were too
feeble to be included in the plans
which were forming for the public cel
ebration of that specially glorious
fourth, they were present and upper
most in every mind, and the country
looked with a certain awe upon those
two living witnesses to the nation’s
birth, those spared monuments of an
historic past.
Politics had divided and bitterly
estranged the pair, but in their retire
ment from the political arena they
had become reconciled and had re
turned to their early esteem for each
other, when they labored together for
a common end. “I always loved Jef
ferson,” said Adams, and of Adams,
Jefferson said only two years before
he died: “Fortune had disjoined our |
affections, but we re-embraced with
cordiality, recalled our ancient feel
fngs and dispositions and everything
was forgotten but our first sympa
thies.”
Adams’ Last Words, i
Five days before that fiftieth birth
day of the nation, Adams was visited
by a fellow-townsman in Quincy and
fnvited to join in the celebration of
the day. It was plain to be seen that
the nonagenarian could not accept the
invitation, but "Instead he gave his
caller this toast for the occasion:
“Independence Forever!”
The Fourth came. While millions
of his countrymen were commemorat
ing the day, “with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports. guns, bells,
bonfires and illuminations,” as Adams
himself had prescribed on the first
Fourth, 50 years before, and while
the peoplie of Quincy still lingered at
the banquet table, where they had
drunk his toast, their illustrious neigh
bor sank to rest from his long and
troubled life as the sun went down
behind the Blue hills. It was under
those circumstances that he said, as
the watchers by his bedside under
stood his last audible words, “Thomas
Jefferson still survives.”
Jefferson’s Last Hours,
Jefferson really had lost that final
race with his friend of half a century.
For he had died near 1:00 o'clock,
some six hours earlier. As his life
ebbed his last thoughts also were of
‘The anniversarian, in looking back
over the historical record of the nation,
finds many things of interest, many
by-paths, and many once main-traveled
roads now grown dim, leading off into
pleasurable speculation and reminis-
proposition that all men are created
equal.” They had lived to see the light
of the jubilee day and then passed from
the stage. John Adams died that day
in Quincy, Mass.; Thomas Jefferson at
Monticello in Virginia.
Aside from the coincidence of their
death on July 4, their lives had many
parallels. Both were leaders in the
Continental congress; both were sign
ers of the Declaration; both were min
isters abroad; both served as Vice
President, and both as President of the
United States. Each served in the con
stitutional convention of his native
state. Jefferson fathered the Demo
cratic-Republican party; Adams, with
Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist
party. Adams, while abroad, wrote
and published for the instruction of
Europe his “Defense of the American
Constitutions,” Jefferson his “Notes
on Virginia.”
the Fourth. The evening before, on
coming out of a stupor, he inquired :
“Is it the Fourth?”
“It soon will be,” the doctor replied.
At 11 o'clock that night he rallied
again and whispered inquiringly:
“This is the Fourth?”
His grandson-in-law nodded a white
lie and was rewarded by a sigh of
satisfaction, “Ah!”
Soon the mind of the sage wandered
off to the stirring period of the first
Fourth. Sitting up in bed, he went
through the motions of writing, and
he was heard to mutter that the Com
mittee of Safety should be warned.
A rebel and revolutionary to the last!
Conurvative-Progreulb..
John Adams erred in a small way,
but spoke the larger truth, when he
said: “Thomas Jefferson still sur
vives.” He survives even unto this
day, when the country marks the one
hundred and fifty-fourth anniversary of
the Declaration and the one hundred
and fourth of its author’'s death, His
survival is explained by the last let
ter he wrote on the subject of the
Declaration ten deays before he died:
“May it be to the world, what I
believe it to be (to some p#rts sooner,
to others iater, and finally to all) the
signal of arousing men to burst their
chains, under which ignorance and su
perstition had persuaded them to bind
themselves, and to assume the bless
ings and security of self-government.
. . . All eyes are opened or are
opening to the rights of man. The
general spread of the light of science
has already laid open td every view
the palpable truth that the mass of
mankind have not been born with sad
dles on their backs, nor a favored few
booted and spurred ready to ride them
legitimately, by the grace of God.”
Contrast in Characters,
Fifty years had not rusted the pen
of '76. Contrast that sentiment, which

the author of the Declaration offered
for his iast Fourth, with Adams’ toast.
and we find the key to the secret of
Jefferson’s survival. To one, the day
commemorated a fight that was end-
Thus the progressive, looking to the
future.
Jefferson believed, as strongly as
Hamilton, in the rule of an aristoc
racy, but of a real aristocracy. And
right here is where democracy has
failed him most often, in its prone
ness to accept the rule of mediocrity.
In letters to Adams, he set forth his
views on this subject:
“Nature has wisely provided an
aristocracy of virtue and talent for
the direction of the interests of so
ciety, and SCATTERED IT WITH
EQUAL HAND THROUGH ALL ITS
CONDITIONS. . . . There is also
an artificial aristocracy, founded on
wealth and birth, without either vir
tue or talent. . . . May we not
even say that the form of government
is the best which provides the most
effectually for the pure selection of
these natural ariosto into the offices?
. . . In general, they (the people)
will elect the really good and wise,
. . . It suffices for us, if the moral
and physical condition of our own eit
izens qualifies them to select the able
and the good for the direction of their
government.”
Had Faith in People. |
Does not the mere restatement of
that high hope of the father of Amer- ‘
ican democracy sound to us like biting |
frony, a bitter satire? The capacity
of the people to choose the bhest is
the keystone in the arch of the demo- |
cratic system. How often do we fail
to live up to Jefferson’s belief in us! |
Yet the basis of his political philos
ophy was his trust in the people, and
the whele of his philosophy may be |
summarized in a few words chosen
from his writing: j
“The will of the majority, the nat
ural law of every society, is the only ‘
sure guardian of the rights of man.
Perhaps even this may sometimes err, !
but its errors are honest, solitary and
short lived.” ‘
People Responded. \
Jefferson was the first responsible
political leader anywhere to hazurd‘
a transfer of government from its an- ‘
cient base, on the shoulders of the
privileged few, to the broader basei
of a people’s will. It is difficult for
us to imagine now how hazardous it
wag for that political pioneer to stake
all his ambitions upon an appeal to
the yet untrained, inexperienced, in- |
articulate, inert mass; to trust them
to respond to ideas and ideals, and
without the stimulus of bands and
torches. It was a bold act of faith,
and the people justified it by follow
ing his leadership for 25 years as they ‘
never have followed another. ;
Perhaps the people would meet that |
test as well now, if another Jefferson
should pay them the compliment of
so great a trust in their common
sense.—James Morgan, in the Boston
Sunday Globe. » ]

Lesson for July 6
ABRAHAM, A PIONEER OF FAITH
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 12:1-3; 13:
1-12; 14:14-16; 17:1-8; Heb. 11:8-10.
GOLDEN TEXT-—By faith Abraham,
when he was called to go out into a
place which he should after receive
for an linheritance, obeyed; 'and he
went out, not knowing whither he
went.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Pleasing God by
Obedience.
JUNIOR TOPlC—Abraham, the Pi
oneer.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
[C—Pioneering in an Unknown Coun
try.
};’OUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—A Man Who Found Friendship
with God.
I. Abraham’s Call (12:1).
Abraham’s ancestors were {dola
trous. God came unto him in Ur of
the Chaldees and said unto him,
1. “Get thee out of thy country.”
[t was necessary for him to break the
strong attachments which bound him.
2. Get thee out “from thy kindred.”
He was not only to leave behind him
his native land, but his relatives as
well, His kindred being idolaters, he
must separate himself from them. |
3. “Into a land that I will shmv'
thee.” He was not told what or where
the land was.
11. God’s Covenant with Abraham
(12:2, 8; 17:1-8).
1. What God promised to Abraham.
(1) To make him the father of a great
posterity (v. 2). This has been liter
ally fulfilled. (2) To make his name
great (v. 2). No name in all history
equals that of Abraham in its honor
able influence. It is revered among
Jews, Mohammedans and OChristians,
They all acknowledge him as father
(3) A blessing to others (vv. 2,3). He
was not only to become great and
share God’s blessings, but to be a
blessing to others.
2. The land given unto him (17:8).
Although Abraham was a pilgrim, he
was permitted to sojourn in the land.
The land itself was given to his seed, |
Israel—God’s chosen and most favored
nation. The nation to which He cama
nearest and gave “most, in order that
it might pass on his goodness to the
other nations of the world, was given
the most strategic position in the
of Lot (13:1-12; 14:4-16).
While Abraham sojourned in Egypt,
having gone there because of the
famine in Canaan, he grew rich in
worldly goods. Because of his decep
tion of the king, he was thrust out ot
Egypt when the truth became known,
1. Abraham and Lot separate (vv.
5-12).
Seeing that their temporal relations
would engender strife and provoke
quarreling, and knowing the disastrous
effect upon the heathen round about,
Abraham gave Lot his choice. Though
Lot owed everything to Abraham, his
selfish heart moved him to grasp for
the best, and his decision ultimately
brought him to grief. He prospered
for awhile, but eventually not only
his goods, but he himself and his
family were taken away by the con
federate kings who came against So
dom.
2. Abraham delivers Lot (14:14-16).
Though Lot’s trouble was the fruit
of his own sowing, Abraham’s mag
nanimity of soul moved him to take
up arms and deliver Lot from the op
pressor. While Lot suffered from his
selfish choice, Abraham prospered.
IV. Abraham’s Faith (Heb. 11:8-10).
1. Its source (v. 8).
The word of God. Faith takes God
at His word.
2. Its practice (vv. 9, 10),
Abraham never setftled down, even
in the land of promise. He was a
true pilgrim, He was content to pass
through the land because his eyes
were fixed on “a city which hath
foundations, whose builder and maker
is God.”
V. Abraham Tested (Heb. 11:17-19).
1. At the command of God he
offered up Isaac (v. 17).
He went out from the country in
obedience to God. He laid down his
son on the altar in obedience to God.
2. The promise of blessing was
wrapped up in Isaac (v. 18).
The promise involved this particular
child, not just any descendant.
3. The supreme venture (v. 19).
He so completely trusted God that
he went all the way. He believed that
God would raise up Isaac from the
dead in order to make good His
promise.
One of His Heroes
To go on cheerfully with a petty
round of little duties, little avocations,
to smile for the joy of others when
the heart is aching . . . who does
this, his works will follow him. He
may not he a hero to the world, but
he is one of God’s heroes.—Doctor Far
rar.
Asking God’s Guidance
There is nothing so small but that
ve honor God by asking his guidanece
in it, or insult Him by taking it into
our own hands.—John Ruskin.

An ebony infant sitting proudly in

pied by the political ruler of a coun- l

times, its postal value being five cen- |
times, the extra cost being a volun

Early Aquatic Sports
In 1715 an Englishman named
Thomas Doggett instituted boat races
among the fishermen on the Thames.
The first English regatta of which
we have evidence took place on the
Thames off Raleigh gardens in 1775.
This was modeled on the Venetian
regatta. The first race in the United
States occurred in 1811 between two
barges, the Knickerbocker of New
York and the Invincible of Long Is-

This Doctor’s Prescription 7
Will Keep Your Family Healthy
Dr. Hitchcock learned during his 63
years’ practice as a family doctor that 90%
of all sickness starts with stomach and
bowel trouble. He advised against the use
of drastic purgatives which cause chronic
constipation.
When any of his patients were eonsti
pated, showed signs of losing their appetite,
or complained of indigestion, - dizziness,
headache, biliousness, or upset stomach, he
gave them his prescription known as Hitch
cock’s Laxative Powder, and the trouble
was soon removed. He found it safe for
women and children; ideal fofr old folks,
as well as for the most robust men.
Dr. Hitchcock’s Laxative Powder quickly
relieves constipation and makes the stom
ach and bowels pure and clean, by remov
ing all of the poisonous fermenting residue
of the accumulated undigested food that
causes these troubles. Get a large yellow
