and sacred edlflce In Philadel
phia where three-fourths of
t__J the signers of the Declaration
of Independence worshiped, commem
orates the nation's birthday every year
with impressive patriotic and religious
services. ltepresentatives of the Lu
theran, Presbyterian and Episcopalian
churches, the religious bodies that were
active in the life of Philadelphia when
independence was declared, generally
participate in the services.
Last year the services took the form
of a prayer and thanksgiving to Al
mighty God for the blessing of civil aud
religious liberty. Addresses wero made
by Bishop Garland, representing the
Episcopal church; the Rev. Dr. William
H. Roberts of the Presbyterian general
assembly and the Rev. D:\ Edwin Heyl
Delk of the Lutheran church. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
Louis C. Washburn, rector of Old
Christ church.
The order of service was the one
adopted in 17S5 by the church to bo
used every year on the Fourth of July.
The service was attended by repre
sentatives of President Wilson. Mayor
Blankeuburg, the Colonial Dames, the
Sons of the Revolution and of the Pine
Street Presbyterian church, whose pas

of Old Christ church, was a chaplain

bella of Old Christ church were ring
ing as they did In 177rt.
The entire church was filled with
persons who worshiped in the same
pews where knelt the churchmen and
patriots of the Continental congress.
Bishop Garlb i. at the conclusion of
his address, read the following poem,
written by him for the occasion:
INDEPENDENCE DAT.
Lord, in thy house thla sacred day
We kneel where patriots knelt to pray;
They pledged anow their faith In thee,
Then took up arms for liberty.
Not In their strength, but in thy might.
They trusted to defend the right.
And thou didst guide them by thy hand
And 'stablished firm our fatherland.
God of the patriots, be our guide;
Protect this land for which they died;
Give us our fathers' faith in thee
To live for truth and liberty.
Here's a Patrio'io Cake.
One cupful of butter, two cupfuls of
granulated sugar, one cupful of milk,
three and one-half cupfuls of flour,
three level teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, whites of six eggs. Sift the flour
and baking powder together three
times. Add the mltk and, last, the
eggs; flavor to taste. Divide the batter
into two equal portions. To one por
tion add a few drops of pink fruit col
oring. Bake In four layers. Tut to
gether with a white icing; ice in white
and decorate with small red and blue
candies made to form the dates 1770
1915.
The Mag ic of Pyrotechnics.
Strange, fantastic, beautiful and won
derful things are Imprisoned by the
fireworks experts In the dull pasteboard
cases that cover their magical com
pounds, as the fisherman's flask of Ara

The flery dragons, clouds of light, mete
oric blazonry of stars, dazzling stream
ers and coronations of effulgence that
fill the air are so many ministers of
delight to millions on every Independ
ence day, bringing weird and startling
sensations with every fresh glimpse of
swiftly fading beauty and glory.
THE FOURTH OF JULY
By GEORGE W. BETHUNE.
Maine, from her farthest border, gives the
first exulting shout.
And from New Hampshire's granite
heights tho echoing peal rings out;
The mountain farms, of stanch Vermont
prolong the thundering call,
And Massachusetts answers "Bunker HIU"
—a watchword for us all.
Rhode Island shakes her sea wet locks,
acclaiming with the free.
And staid Connecticut breaks forth In
joyous harmony;
The giant Joy of proud New York, loud
as an earthquake's roar.
Is heard from Hudson's crowded banks
to Erie's crowded shore.
Still on the booming volley rolls, o'er
plains and flowery glades,
To where tho Mississippi's flood tho tur
bid gulf Invades;
There, borne from many a mighty stream
upon her mightier tide,
Come down the swelling, long huzzas
from all that valley wide.
And wood crowned Allegheny's call, from
all her summits liigh.
Reverberates among the rocks that pierce
the sunset sky.
While on the shores nnd through the
swales, round the vast inland seas,
The stars and stripes midst freemen's
songs are dashing to the breeze.
Tho woodsman from the mother takes his
boy upon his knee
And tells him how their fathers fought
and bled for liberty.
The lonely hunter sits him down the for
est spring beside
To think upon his country's worth and
feel his country's pride,
Whiie many a foreign accent which our
God can understand
Is blessing him for home and bread in
this free, fertile land.
Yes; when upon the *.astern coast wo
sink to happy >vst
The day of ind» ^er.dt«nce rolls still on
ward to the west
Till dies on the Pacific shore the shout of
Jubilee
That woke the morning with Its voice
along tho Atlantic pea.
O God. look down upon the land which
thou hast lowd to well
And grant that in unbroken truth her
children still may dwell.
Nor while the grass grows on the hill and
streams flow through tho vale
May they forget their fathers' faith or
in their covenant fall;
Keep, C5od. the fairest, noblest land that
lies beneath the sun—
"Our country, our whole country, and
our country ever one."

■; THE SPIRIT OF INDEPEND
ENCE DAY.
!1E spirit of the nation is at
:: T
jj. I the highest. Its triumph
over the inborn, inbred
{£ perils of the constitution has
v chased away all fears, justified
A nil hopes, ar.d with universal
g Joy we greet this day. We have
5 not proved unworthy of a great
ancestry. We had the virtue to
uphold what they so wisely, so
V firmly established. With these
jj. proud possessions of the past,
with powers matured, with prin
g. clples settled, with habits forin
J? ed, the nation passes, as It were,
^ from preparatory growth to re
sponsible development of charac
6 ter and the steady performance
of duty. What labors await it,
» what trials shall attend It, what
^ triumphs for human nature,
4 what clory for itself arc prepar
^ ed for tliis people in the coming
v century we may not assume to
;l foretell. "One generation pass
5 eth away and another genera
js tion cometh, but the earth abid
if eth forever," and we reverently
rS. hope that these our constituted
J- liberties shall be maintained to
tiie unending line of our posteri*
V ty and so Ions as the earth itself
4 shall eudure.
rY In the great procession of na
3. tious, iu the great march of hu
5 maulty, we hold _our place,
j Peace is our duty; peace is our
a policy. In its arts, its labors and
t> its victories, then, we find scope
jf for all our energies, rewards for
t> all our ambitions, renown enough
? for all our love of fame.—Wil

China the Birthplace of Fireworks.
The trick of pyrotechny, along with !
the formula for gunpowder, was
brought to Europe from China and the |
far east about the thirteenth century.
Ever since then specialists equipped
with all the resources of chemistry
have devoted themselves to this bril
liant and fascinating scenic art until
now the pyrotechnist's skill amazes and j
enraptures the spectacle loving popu
lace in every civilized country.
SIGNERS OF HIGH RANK.
Some of the Nation's Fathers Wer«
Men of Wealth and Distinction.
Among the men who pledged their
lives, their fortunes and their ttacred
honor lu support of the principles of
the Declaration of Independence, risk
ing nil In breathing life into the na
tion, were personu of high rank and
Sistlnctlon. Some of them possessed
fame which passed the boundaries of
the colonies and was recognized in the
mother country.
Stephen Hopkins, whose tremulous
signature Is familiar to every person
who has seen the Declaration, was
^hlef Justice of Rhode Island before
the war, and ho was the first abolition
ist. He introduced a bill in the colo
nial legislature to prohibit the impor
tation of slaves and carried out his
Ideas practically by giving freedom to
all the slaves he owned. Besides all
this, he was a great mathematician,
and his name will go down in scien
tific history as the observer of the
transit of Venus in June, 1T01. He
was one of the founders Of the Public
library at Providence, a member of
the American Philosophical society trod
the founder and patroa of the free
schools of Providence.
The trembling of his hand when be
signed the Declaration was not due to
fear—to which he was a stranger—bet
to palsy. He was a sufferer from that
malady for many years.
Richard Stockton of New Jersey was
probably the best known lawyer in
America. As early as 1764 he had been

made a sergeant-at-law, In thotie times
a position of high distinction in his pro
fession. In 1700, when he visited Eng
land, he found that his fame had pre
ceded him, and he was received every
where with the greatest respect. At
Edinburgh he was formally received
by the lord provost, and the eltltens
by unanimous vote conferred the free
dom of the city on him in recognition
of his great learning; Ho was a friend
of the king, who made him supreme
court Judge of New Jersey. 8tHl be
cast his lot in with the American pa
triots, saw his great estate seised and
ruined and finally died from the effects
of brutal treatment while he was a
prisoner in the hands of the British.
Joslah Bartlett of New Hampshire,
besides being one of the first members
of congress to vote for the Declaration
of Independence, was also the first
American physician to discover the vir
tues of the now universally used drug,
quinine. He was eminent for his sur
gical skill long before the war broke
out.
Philip Livingston of New York was a
mnn of great wealth and distinguished
ancestry, a direct descendant of a re
gent of Scotland, a king of the Heb
rides and the Earl of Livingston, in
Scotland. His father was the founder
of Livingston Manor, on the Hudson.
Philip himself was the most prominent
merchant of New York city. He was
the friend and correspondent of Ed
mund Burke, and Burke*s friendship
for America and defense of her cause
were due to Livingston's lucid explana
tions.
