Idea of Ancestors. We - speak with great satisfaction of the fact that our ancestors—- and I claim New England ancestry— came to this-country in order to es- tablish freedom of religion. Well, if yau are going t0 be exact, they came to this country to establish freedom of their religion and not the freedom of anybody else’s religion. (Laughter and -applause) The truth is in these days such a thing, as freedom of -re- liglou was not understood. Erasmus, the great Dutch professor, one of the most eloquent scholars of his day did understand it and did.advocate it, but the denominations it was not certainly fully understood. We look with conSiderdble horror and with a great deal of condemnafion on those particular deneminations fihat punish- ed our aucestors because our ancestors wished to have a different kind of re- ligion, but when our ancestors got here in this country and ruled, they intended. to hive their own religion an@ no other. But we have passed beyond that, and out of the friction, out of the denominational prejudlices we have in the past déveloped a frre- dom of religion that came naturally and_logically’ as we went on to free institutions. It came ‘from those very The General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has | dlways been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for fzmily use because its com- ponent parts are known to them to be wholgome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on "\‘ merits of the laxative for its remark- able success. 3 That is, one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed, To get its beneficial effects always“buy the genuine—manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by.all Men of Strength and: Individyality—Mason came here and presided in the First 3 <) o men who built up your community and made its character. The Rev. James Fitch could not Jook upon %odnr religion in - this community any degree of patierice, but his descend- ants, firm in the faith as he was, now see that the best way to promote Christianity and the worship of and religion is to let every man wor- ship God as he chooses. ~(Applduse.) This community was well by the clergy, and they did well s the clergy.- The Rev. James Fitch, after fourteen years in Saybrook, ‘church for forty more years. I have heard clergymen say that after a cler- gyman passes his fiftieth year he ougiit ought to be emeritus and step out of the profession. They did not say so in those days. There was an authority about.a mmicter of the gospel that meant & great deal more than mere persuasiveness, and the clergyman’s authority is one that seems to cuiti- vate a long life, . Presided 117 Years,. The Riv. James Fitch was succeeded by Dr. Benjamin Lord, and he was suc- ceeded by Dr. Strong, all of the same church, and the Doctors Lord and Strong presided together, including six years when thev were both m inisters of this town, one hundred and seven- teen years. ow think of the influence in a community of God-fearing men with force of character, with power to condemn wrong and uphold right, and then you can understand how Norwich has survived and preserved an indivld-1 uality. (Applause.) Major Mason was a statesman. He was deputy governor. His chief was Governor - Winthrop, and Governor Winthrop, while Major Mason presided over the colony of Connecticut, went t London and found King Charles 1L\ i such good humor that he got that far- famed _chafter to Connecticut. They sald that Charles II was a monarch who never said a foolish thing and never did a wise one. (Laugnter.) ‘Whether it was wise for him or net, the charter of Connecticut # that he gave, with*its principles of free institu- tions and, its latitude to the people of Connecticut in carrying on their go ernment, was certainly from our stand- point & wise act, and I don't wonder that when they tried to get it away they put it in that oak where it was not found. ‘The truth is, my dear friends, we ‘hear a great deal of discussmwn or free government and references made to the declaration of independence which this day celebrates. And some people 50 construe that instrument that they ‘would make it mean that any body of men or children or women are born with the instinct of self government’ such that they can frame a government when they begin to talk. Now that is rot true. Self government has been fought out in the history of this world and by certain races has been hammer- ed out by a thousand years of struggle and men have taught themselves unmtil they have sense enough to know what is their own interest and self restraint enough to know what is their interest and to give every other man all that is coming to him according to right -and- justice.. - (Applause.) Men of Strength and Individuality. Now what is {rue with respect, there- fore, to our ancestors is mot true with respect to many races jn this world. They have to be led on and ta principle and lesson of self gove: But our ancestors, by a wise neg| in the home government for nearly two hundred years, ¢came to be the best prepared ‘people ‘there were in the world for self government. Take the town of Norwich and see how those thirty-five men and the people who f lowed them made up'a governmen how they were conscious of the respon- sibility that they took upon themselves attempted a government themselves, and how they carried on an orderly government, a government of iiberty, regulated by law. So it was in every town in the thirteen colomes. They were all men of strength of indi- viduality, of self irestraint, and they knew what it cost to build up a gov- ernment and maintdin it; and when on the 4th of July, 1776, they declared of Great Britain they did it with reluctance and with hesitation because they knew the tres mendous burden on their backs and they knew the responsibilities that they owed to the world and that they owed to the people for whom they were making the declaration. No better example of the character of those men who made that declara- tion of independence and whe subse- quently framed the constitution of the United States could be found than right here among your representatives of the town of Nerwich. Your selec men, your leaders, had the education and the' experience that fitted. them, as all the Americans of that day were fitted, to drganize and maintain a civil government and preserve the free i stitutions and liberty regulated by law. Virtues S Exist. Now you have stood and loukei at the procession so long that your gyes are strained and I do not mean, to strain your ears. I wish again to tes- tify to the profound pleasure I have had in studying the history of the town of Norwich, of going over the chardcter of your great men and of realizing that the strength of your community—the character of your community—is in the character of, the men that made it up; and I doubt not that right here under these beautiful elms, and in these houses, so many of which preserve the memories of the past, there is the same respect for vir- tue, for individual character, for hon- esty, for freedom and for law that was left to you as a legitimate legacy from the ancestors whose memory you hon- or today.
