Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER JUIT FOURTH JULY 4th, 1774, the Colonies on, the Atlantic seaboard declared* heir independence of Great Bril-' kin. This much we all know. But *e do not know all that the founding fathers had in mind when they 1 loon adopted the Constitution. ' Although the Colonies declared heir independence of Great Britain, the years since 1776 have demonstrated that the best inter-, JUST A THOUGHT: Americans have always been quick to come to the defense of freedom and, for most of us, it is more than just a word. Freedom is away of life, a promise for the future. We should all work to preserve our way of life—and to pray and hope that one day all men will be free. estsof Great Britain and the United States are assured by the friendly relations that have generally existed between the two nations. With these observations made, we now survey with satisfaction the commanding place that the United States of America has today among the nations of earth. From sea to shining sea. And now, with a little Sophmoric attempt at eloquence brought over from college days, it may be said that the old “Roman eagle, escaping from the ruins of the Eternal City, beat his way far up into the darkened sky and there poised on mighty pinion the last of the grandeur and glory of the greatest empire the world had known, then winging his way westward through the centuries, he found a restingplace on the standards of the greatest Republic the world will over know.”

TT APPEARS not fashionable * in these modem times to “turn the other cheek.” Most of us consider the act of forgiving our fellow man a luxury we cannot afford. How often have you heard someone say “I’ll forgive—but I , won’t forget* Such is not forgiveness. It is more than a word. If we forgive with words, not with our heart, we have not forgiven at alt We can find it easier to forgive others if we remember that we ourselves are not perfect. We make mistakes, all of us and we expect forgiveness when we do. Chaos would reign in the world of business if there were no policy of forgiveness. If a “boss” fired every employee who hade a simEle mistake, he’d soon have no elp at all. It is the same in our daily living. If we cannot forgive the little things that fail to please us, we eventually discover that we have lost many a good friend along the way. Read yewr Bl til dally •nd 00 TO CHURCH SUNDAY
