PASTOR PLEADS ► FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM TODAY > Rev. Fackler Draws Lessons From Independence Day. Making a plea for citizens to retain all the freedom guaranteed to them by the Declaration of Independence, the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler preached a strong sermon Sunday on ••This 150 Years of American Liberty” at St. Matthew Lutheran church. “One hundred and fifty years ago today,” the Rev. Fackler said, “the forefathers of our country, after earnest deliberation, decided to declare themselves independent. They did not do this to multiply their troubles. \ “They were not a trouble seeking class of people; neither were they lovers of war. Their souls craved for peace and liberty. “They believed that the Government should be of the people, by the people and for the people. Such noble thoughts inspired the fathers of our country. They had an eye to the future and desired to bequeath to their posterity true liberty, not ftnly civil but religious liberty, p “Now we are the recipients of the ►fruits of their efforts. As long as we as a nation do not permit ourselves to be entangled with the yoke of bondage and as long as we stand fast in that liberty wherewith Christ has cmade us free we shall enjoy untold blessings. “Our Nation has ocasionally suffered internal and external disturbance during the century and onehalf, nevertheless our peace and liberty were not seriously effected. We as a Nation ought on this day to be thankful' for the 150 years of American liberty which we have b?en permitted to enjoy. “The event that took place on this day had nothing to do directly with vthe salvation of souls nor with the work of the church. We do not commemorate a fact on this day like on Good Friday or like on Reformation day, yet there has been delivered unto us on this day the right to worship God according to the dictates of our conscience influenced by God's word. •Religious Freedom “Some historical facts bring to light the dep measure of devotion which impelled our ancestors that they might bequeath unto us real civil and religious blessings. The members of the Lutheran Church were a great factor in helping to lay the foundation stone of our country. As early as 1532 a colony of Lutherans settled on American shores. The early settlers were not Ijpithout spiritual care. * “The first Protestant minister to be buried in this a Lutheran minister, the Rev." Jensen. Not until about 1703 did the Lutherans migrate to this country in great numbers. “The cause for this was the conditions brought about by the thirty years’ war. The people turned their faces then to a land where they might enjoy better conditions and be permitted to worship God unmolested. Some settled in Pennsylvania and others in the State of Georgia. From these settlements came many loyal supporters of Washington who took an important part in the Government of the early days. “It was through " the earnest effort of the Lutheran Pastor Muehlenberg that six tribes of Indians w§re prevented from taking part with the French in their warfare against the early settlers. The Royal American regiment under General Boquet gained the day at Ft. Pitt, and checked Pontiac's conspiracy.

No More Bondage “History tells us how our fore- j fathers stood fast in of Christ and were not entangled with the yoke of bondage. Whats" will be said of the future generation? Will they abuse the liberties of today and" consider liberty a license to do whatever they please? “Who knows what~the future will bring 'orth. We can easily surmise If the citizens will not follow the pure teachings of God’s word. The will not rise above the standHrd of its citizens. As the character of, the citizens so the nation. If the young and the old will not imbibe the true word of God and their characters molded by the spirit of trbth, can they stand firm in true Christian liberty? “Can we expect a Muehlenberg, a body of fusileers or a Washington or a Lincoln?. This ought to prompt us to be faithful to Him unto dentil. He died in order to secure eternal salvation for those who are His. “We need to keep our feet from prftangling alliances which will shackle the future citizens therefore divine guidance and Christian understanding is needed by all those In office. “We need Christians who are not looking only for their own interests but for the welfare of our country. We need citizens that will inspire the public to live a life in God. We neeft leaders that will keep the na- , tion from any entangling alliances which will rob us of our precious liberty,’’ the Reverend Fackler said. WHAT! NO EGGS! LONDON.—People develop the mentality of a cow if they drink large quantities of milk, according to Dr. Stavros Damaglov of Athens. One of the worst centers of infection in the world is the hen's egg, he also declared. Dr. Damaglov was addressing a vegetarian congress.

VOLUME X JULY 4, 1776 NUMBER XXVIII

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE IS SIGNED

Copies to Be Distributed at Once —British Oppression Cited. Editor's Xotr—This is the.last of a series of articles written from Congressional records depicting' the stirring events which led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence lot> rears ago today. Tile ‘‘dispatches have been dated as of 1776. They liavo been the writer's conception of how a. modern reporter would have handled, one of tho greatest series of news stories in American history. It has been the intention of The Times to thus breathe new life afnd interest into a vital chapter of the Nation s life story. _j By Ruth Finney Times Staff Corrcsvandcnt PHILADELPHIA, July 4, 1776. Fifty-six members of the Continental Congress today commited themselves irrevocably to the cause of liberty by signing their names to the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration, slightly modified from the first draft, was read to the ingress by Benjamin Harrison, and was approved without objection. Copies of it will be distributed at once so that it may be proclaimed in each of the United States and at the heads of the armies. The Doc’iment The Declaration reads: When, Tn the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. Self-Evident Truths

We hold these truths to be selfevident: That all men are created equal; they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. -That, to secure these rights, goveriy ments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute anew government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer while i vils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. Security the Object. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinced a design to reduce them under absolute despotion. it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts he submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent*to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. Duties Neglectd He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature—a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from- the depository of their public records for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measure. Assemblies Dissolved He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the darters of invasions from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the law for the naturalization of foreigners refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither and raising the con-

ditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for tho tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. People Harassed He has erected a multiude of lrew offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power. He has 'combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.

vested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. Seas Plundered He has plundered our seas, ,ravged our coasts, burned our towns, and the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous and totally unworthy the head of a civtlied nation. Ho has constrained our fellowcitizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear . arms against |sieir country, to become executioners of their fx-lends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrection among us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting In our attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity; and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which wdUld inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too. have been deaf to the voice of justice and

Wherefore, Independence We, therefore. • the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemly publish and declare, That these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between tiifm and tlm State of Great Britain is, and ought to -he, totally dissolved; and that, as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all others acts and things which independent States may of right do. And* for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

With him will be tried sixteen others, culled from the six,ty indicted last January on evidence gathered during months of the most difficult sleuthing. District Attorney Emory Buckner of New York in person will direct the prosecution.

liquor smuggled in by rival operators. If the ring actually lived up to the description of the prosecutors, and if Dwyer was its master mind as is charged, then he is a demigod by all the standards of a modern underworld. Popular legend pictures a gusty, crimson-tinted outlaw, who boasted of buccaneering and ruled with the lavish hand. The man himself when arrested a few weeks before last Christmas declared the tales were “pure romance.’^ Sparkles With Demands He appeared in court as a suave man about town, # sparkling with diamonds, wearing a swastika luck charm, strong in his innocence. He had a wife and five children. He owned a half interest in two race tracks, at Montreal and Cincinnati. Dwyer's bond was set at $40,000. Total bail for thirty of the men
