toil and hardship. True, the day is a legal holi
day in every state and holiday- ar • usually devoted
to pleasure as suits one’s taste and convenience.
B it every citizen should I m * willing and regard it
as a duty, to give reverent thought to our nation,
and for what it - lands for before the nations of
the v or.'i what it has accomplished in promotit g
th-» course of lib-tty among men; of what the
citizens of our nation has given to the world in
scier.ce. art, invention, etc., and then give a
thought to the heroes of 76, who made it possible.
These thoughts can lx brought about if we listen
to an address from a speaker ca|>al I • of reciting
t- em in an intelligent and pleasing manner.
Hence, to devote the day to sports alone, with
out a thought of what the holiday means, is almost
sacrilege. It tends to create in the minds of th»
young, a carel»-.- disregard for the memory of th»
men who made it jMj ^ib'e for their enjoym nt of
a home in a land of political and religious liberty.
