AGO TODAY (Continued from First Page.) take no detriment even from the hand of time.” In stately measures Dean Briggs wet forth the vision of the Pilgrims and their prayerful determination: “Freedom Thy new-born nation here shall cherish; Grant us Thy covenant, unchang- ing, sure; Earth shall decay; the firmanent shall perish; Freedom and Truth, immortal shall endure.” The answer of their descendants to this challenge came in these words: “The Pilgrim’'s faith, the Pilgrim’s courage grant us; Still shines the truth that for the Pligrim shone. We are his seed, nor life nor death shall daunt us, The port is Freedom's heart, sail on!" Come on Special Train. The official party came from Bos- ton on a special train and proceeded immediately to the old Colony thea- ter, where the exercises were held. In their number, in addition to the speakers of the day, were official rep- resentatives of Great Britain and Hol- land, several New England governors, members of the New England ju- diclary, Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama and members of patriotic societies, including the Society of Mayflower Descendants.

Y. =T am not in the habit of praising any material medicine as I am an advocate of ‘New Thought’; but some time ago, I had such a bad attack of Liver and Stomach Trouble that I gave up thinking Idid not have it and took *Fruit-a-tives’ or Fruit Liver Tablets. Most gratifying was the result. It relieved my liver and stomach trouble, cleaned up my yellowish complexion and put mew blood in my body. ‘Fruit-a-tives® is the highest wesult of Na' Thoughs’ in medicine™. A. A.

The remainder of the day they gave over to a pligrimage to Plymouth Rock, the Cole's Hill Bury- ing ground and other parts of the town intimately connected with the Pilgrims’ history. . Senator Lodge Speaks. Senator Lodge touched upon “the peevish, meaningless objection “that if the great men of history had not accomplished the specific deeds at. tached to theilr names *“somebody else would have done all these things” and continued. “The ‘might have beens’ have no claim to celebration. That which alone is entitled to this high honor is ‘what was. The actual deed and the men who did the deed which ‘breaks the horizon’s level line,’ not | | those who did not dp it, evenyif they thought about it, alone deserve honor, reverence and commemoration. “Can we, then, justly place what happened here at Plymouth, and the men and women to whom we owe the great act, in the small, high | class of ‘decisive’ events due to the actual doers of great deeds? Clearly, I think we can. Jamestown and Plymouth were the cornerstones of the foundations upon which the great fabri¢ of the United States has been buflt up-” Lessons From the Past. The senator sketched briefly the early struggles of the Pilgrims and went on: “That which now concerns us most, as it seems to me, is, first, to know what has come from the work of the Pllgrims who thus influenced his- tory and affected the fate of western civilization. Next and more impor- tant, we must consider just what thdy were and what meaning they had for our predecessors and now have for us. Above all let us find out if ppssible what lessons they teach which will help us in the present and aid us to mest the imperious future ever kxnocking at’ the door. “It is clearer than anything else to those who look into it with con- siderate eyes, that these men, the leaders especially hal a profound con- sciousness that they were engaged in « vastly greater task than establish- ing a colony. They felt in the depths { of their being that they were laying | he foundation of an empire—of a | nighty nation." | “In our own country,” he sald, | there is a stronger hope in the pop- ‘lar conception of progress, and bet-# tcr apparent grounds for it perhaps than in any other; but as the months have slipped by since the war no »bservant man can deny that there s a growing doubt, a rising tide of pessimism, among those who think | and who are the first to see and !o weigh the chances of the future. “The Pilgrims encountered the de- - nands of life with unfailing courage ‘hey had a very strong and active nse of public duty. They promised ‘o obey the laws made and lcceptcd by the community. “ ‘Liberty’ said Georges Clemen. cean, a great man of our own time, | ‘is the power to discipline oneself’ and this was the spirit which Inlplred the Englishmen who signed the Mly. flower compact. “They knew that there could be no organized society unless laws made by the state were obeyed by all. And this mighty principle they planted definitely in the soil of thelr new country where it has found its latest champion in a successor of Bradford | ! and Winslow, the present governor of Massachusetts. Spiritual Above Material- “The underlying and the lasting | | causes which made the action of the | Pilgrims a decisive event in history luem to me to be not what they did with their ships and farms, their trade and their fisherfes but with their ! minds and with their thoughts. It matters not whether we agree with their theology or. with their forms of Christian worship. That which | counted then and has counted ever | since was that they set the spiritual | above the material. | ““They never for a moment thought that life and its mysteries could be expressed in economic terms which seoms, if not actually avowed, to be | the tendency among all classes to- day. They set character first. They ! sought to give men freedom both in body and mind. They tried to reduce | the sum of misery. Whatever our faith, whatever our belief in pro- gress, there can be no nobler pur- | poses for man than thus to deal with | the only earth he knows and the frag- | ment of time awarded him for his ! existence here. As we think of them in this, the only true way, our rev- erence and our admiration alike grow ever stronger. While the great re- public is true in heart and deed to the memory of the Pilgrims of Plym- outh it will take no detriment even from the hand of time.” AFETY TIRENGTH EFERVICKE $ 500,000.00 500,000.00 310,000.00 UNDIVIDED PROFITS ........ 140,000.00 TOTAL PROTECTION TO DEPOSITORS ......... $1,450,000.00 WE PRESENT THE ABOVE FIGURES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. 4% on Savings Deposits ew Britain National Bank —Organized 1860— Under United States Govemment Supervision.
