Richards, of Phila delphia, was then Introduced and gavo a most scholarly, eloquent, clear and forceful lecture on the subject, "May flower Heroes and Their Gift to Us." He began by saying that all the world loves a hero, and everybody likes to read a love story and nn account of heroism. It Is the story of the greatest heroism nnd love of the world. The speaker then traced the line of his tory that lead to the formation of the Puritan faith. He pictured In vivid colors the hero ism that alone was able to sustain this faith and finally the salllnr nnd landing of tho liayflower. Five days after the landing the captain of the Mayflower sailed back to England, saying that the Pilgrims had nothing but Gospel. The Pilgrim fathers brought to this country consclenco and like iromwell, who went Into battle only at the dictates of conscience, nev er lost a battle, so theso Pilgrim fath ers conquered In all tho evil surround ings of their time. MAGNA CHARTA OF AMERICA. They bowed before their God, but put their foot upon the neck of their king. The comnact made In the May flower was the Magna Charta of Amer ica. They brought to this country the principles of the home; they brought the spirit of liberty, even sending back their Influence to load the English re volution. They brought the true spirit of manhood. They came hero for the express purpose of founding a state upon democratic principles. They started the American public school and the American college. Their lessons to us are worthy to be learned. They were men that looked toward Uie future far In advance of their time, Things For Street Wear, and had to suffer for thls,,but they did It bravely, believing as a later peet has said: 'Truth Uttrtt en the scaffold, Wrong ferertr en the throne, Yet that scaffold swsjb the future, Aid behind the Jim unknown StanJeth God within the shadow Keeping watch sbove Ills own." They gave to us three principles that mult the faith of the Conrretatlona! church, Faith, Freedom and Fellowship, and the spirit of the Pilgrims Is not dead. If tho old Pilgrims lived today they would be men of this day. They would use the modern Improvements, dress In modern clothing, and you could tell them by their Godly walk and conversation. They came here from England to get rid of tho boss. They wouldk en dure no boss here. In closlner, the fpeaksr paid an eloquent tribute to the Christian Republic.

A primitive structure that Interest ed councllmen should be ashamed to stand sporsors for. Is the foot-bridge that spans tho Meadow brook on Elm street, between Prospect and Stono avanues.
