LIBERTY'S SACRED SHRINE
Independence Hall Still Stands as Patriotic Inspiration.
Scattered along the Atlantic coast region from Boston to St. Augustine are countless historic old brick structures invested with the glamor of romance, of stirring adventure, of heroic sacrifice and earnest, patriotic devotion to country, but nowhere is one instinctively moved to bare his head in a sincere reverence so much as in Independence hall, where something more than 150 years ago a handful of patriots dared the wrath of Great Britain and declared for American freedom. Even today one seems to feel the presence of those dauntless spirits in the very atmosphere of those plain, old-fashioned rooms, hung with mementoes of the days of '76.
About it hovers the best traditions of American patriotism. Other walls have rung with patriotic declaration, with impassioned oratory and bold defiance, but nowhere has loyalty to country and earnest devotion to the cause of liberty found such deathless expression as announced by the ancient Liberty bell in the cupola overhead on that memorable Fourth of July so many years ago when it was voiced in that Declaration of Independence.
Here the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776.
