GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Former Fire Commissioner Williams and Mrs. Williams Had Theirs on the Glorious Fourth. Mr. and Mrs.

George Washington Williams, the latter former Commissioner, of 619 Decatur street, celebrated on Saturday, the Glorious Fourth, the golden anniversary of their wedding. It is exactly half century ago since they were united and to-day they are at the head of four generations. Mr. Williams, in support of his claims, points to his four beautiful daughters, his five grandchildren, and, his one great-grandchild, who will rejoice with him. The names of his fife children are Frank F.

Williams, ex-sergeant of police; Mrs. Amanda Cockroft, who lives at Binghamton; Mrs. Ida L. Le Verie, Mrs. Maud V.

Winkemeter, and Miss Agnes V. Williams. The five grandchildren are: Howard Winkemeler, Edith M. and Ora. Mae Cockcroft, Chester L.

LeVerle and the greatgrandchild, Edna May Hutton. It is just seventy-two years since Mr. Williams was born on the old Conselyea farm in the 18th Ward, in Williamsburgh. A singular feature is that Mrs. Williams was born in the same year.

It was a love match in every sense of the word and one Sunday evening, fifty years ago, the young people were united by the Rev. J. Mallory in the old Gothic Church' at the corner of Grand and Ewen streets, the latter now Manhattan avenue. At the present time Mr. Williams is a member of the Widows and Fund of the Eastern District, an organization of the old volunteer firemen.

He is still kept busy dealing out charity. He was also a member of the Board of Aldermen of the 18th Ward of the City of Brooklyn, serving two terms, from 1876 to 1879. Another position he occupied ereditably was Superintendent of Street Repairs for six years, under Mayor Low's administration. Although 72 years' of age, Mr. Willlams says that he reels quite a young fellow.

He still carrres on the building and contracting business. At the celebration the happy paid led the mtrch; there were speeches and toasts and a general good time. Among the invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. G.

Dr.

Williams Chose for His Text the Inscription on the Liberty Bell. Dr. John Williams, rector of Calvary P. E. Church, Bushwiok avenue and Grove street, preached Sunday morning from the text, Levitious 25, 10, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof." Dr.

Willlams said that the text is more than ordinarily well known, because of the fact that it is inscribed on the famous "Liberty Bell," in Philadelphia. It was a typically patriotic sermon and 08- pecially well suited to the day following the "Fourth." Dr. Williams stoke in part as follows: It was a hundred and thirty-two years ago that the old Liberty Bell sent this message ringing throughout this land of ours, announcing that the Declaration of Independence had been signed. It was a momentous event, destined to have far-reaching effect upon the world's history. Our minds go back to-day to those brave leaders who fired "the shot which was heard around the world," and we recall with profound gratitude and admiration the struggles, sufferings and privations of those early days, and the great sacrifices of fortune and life itself which our forefathers made that they might secure the inallenable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That message of the old Liberty Bell has come ringing down the century and it calls upon us to proclaim the same message of freedom in our day and generation. Just as soon as the freedom of the colonies was achieved there arose a strife which has continued to our own day, and will continue for many ages to come. On the one hand were those anxious to build up a nation with strong, centralized government, which should have all the power that could possibly be given to it; on the other hand were those afraid of a powerful Federal authority and anxious to secure for the independent States all the rights and powers which they deemed essential for the preservation of the dignity and Integrity of the individual State. That conflict is brought contlually "before us by the protest of some one or other to-day: against Federal interference with State rights. The relation of the different States to.

the nation is very similar to the relation of the individual to the community. The individual would like to secure the widest possible liberty for himself, but the welfare of the community demands that individual liberty shall not transgress the rights of others. The liberty, the welfare, the very being of the community demands that individual liberty be restrained in order that the rights and privileges of all shall be maintained. And so this land of ours to-day is not a. congeries of separate States, but a united nation, "one and indivisable." Thus the nation becomes a sacred thing, with a heart, a will, a conscience, a purpose and a destiny of Its own.

It is a living being blessed of God and commissioned by Him to do its work. It is not a thing of mountains and plains, of rivers and valleys, of agricultural and mechanical industry, but a living entity for which countless thousands of brave men will pour out their life blood. The nation is consecrated in blood, her foundations are truth and justice and her mission is liberty. What is liberty? We will get many varying answers to that question, There are many who say that liberty means no government, no taxes, no police, no soldiers, no priests. Ask the east siders, who have lately been arrested by the hundred for defacing and despoiling Prospect Park and they will assure you that there is no liberty here, only the greatest It is the old contest between the individual and the community, and they have yet to learn that no man has the right to injure what belongs to us all.

We have been told that the "effete monarchies of Europe' -whatever they are were all hastening to decay and ruin, and that their great populations were gazing with envy upon the incomparable blessings which we enjoy.

It is time we realized that the wonderful prosperity of our land is due more to economic opportunity than to political freedom. The country is great because from time Immemorial God has filled the land with treasures which we are now bringing forth in all their abundance -corn and wheat from the fertile plains, from and coal and gold and silver from the mountain regions and fish from the ever flowing rivers and seas. The Vast, undeveloped natural resources of our land give us an economic opportunity such as no nation has ever enjoyed from the dawn of history. These natural resources demand men with strong arms and clear brains to use them, and they pay a marvellous reward to the patient and industrious toiler. The tens of thousands who come to us each week from foreign lands are attracted by this hope of reward, not by our boasted liberty; AS We can 860 each fall, when the winter is closing in and work for them is dull, then these same thousands will flock back to their native lands in Southern Europe to enjoy the savings which they have accumulated by their industry.

We have inherited from our forefathers great principles, which show us the way to attain the liberty which we desire; we have also inherited magnificent economio opportunities which can only be realized by the application of those same principles, and most of all we have inherited vast problems which are enough to sober the most reckless among us. But we have courage because we believe in God and believe that His over-ruling guidance will be with us in the future as in the past. The nation which serves God and keeps His commandments, the nation which follows truth and Justice and honesty will endure through all ages. "Our national. Inheritance" has been in the sunlight of God's favor and on this day, therefore, we can all lift up our voices in praise of his goodness.

At the White Church, Sunday evening, the Rev. Edward Niles preached 1 patriotio sermon. He said in part: the country celebrated the first promulgation of the American idea. Sobriety bas largely taken the place of spread engleism. We don't talk so much about our bigness 88 dozen years ago.

Even our netio President has failed to ArOUSe enthusiasm for an increased navy, that can boast of being third to none The greatest potential forces for good the world ever knew Are in the gigantio experiment known 98 the United States, but these same forces are also potential for evil. The world is curiously watching for Tesulta, and all the more so because of the unprecedented factors involved. "In the first place, this people is not people of common ancestry. Apart from the negro element, over half our population are of those who came here since 1820. The colonial element Itself 1s of diverse races.

The blood mixture is mainly Teutonio, Celtic, AngloSaxon in their relative order, but with none preponderating over the other. This results in no common traditions binding us together naturaly and no standing army to bind us together by force. The oustoms of the Pennsylvania Dutch, the down East Yankee and the New Mexican greaser are as different from one another as those of French, Italian and Portuguese. "Most significant of all, we have no common phase of religion. Each soul thinks as he pleases, chooses what church he will support voluntarily and need support none 11.

he doesn't desire. "1A common language counteracting the dimoulties of diverse blood. AB the English has become the American tongue every American should master It, think in it, read his newspaper in it, worship. his God by means of it. Despite the apparent confusion of tongues on our streets to-day the percentage of foreign speaking people is small er than a half century ago.

publio schools are a stupendous factor in breaking down previncialism and creating common traditions. It only takes a few months to transform room full of children not knowing an English word into enthusiastic and harmonious singers of Land Where Our Fathers "But religion must be the bond that binds us closest of all together. The nation and the kingdom that wil not serve God shall perish, no matter what else it may do. The American theory is that the State should not bulld churches, as It does armories and jails, nor appoint ministers as It does wardens of asylums. It leaves the responsibility to the individual.

It is for us who believe that Christ alone can save this country from the fate of all other republics to sotve the problem confronting the free church of America. Three classes of people are inimical to the 'America Idea' -the earliest, the latest and the de-Americanized Intermediate settlers. These eariist settlers are of three colors, the Indians, the negroes and the tain whites. The Indians are not 50 much a menace to us as is our treatment of them. How much we owe them of compensation for our past injustice! The best way to discharge such obligations is by sending them the Gospel.
