the entire government was chosen
by the people. Important as this
distinction is, undoubtedly, Its true
significance can be understood only
when related to the vital differ-
ence in the religious character of
these respective colonies. Virginia,
the premier Royal colony, was of
the established Anglican Church.
So were most of the other royal
colonies. New England was Puri-
tan.
Now this is not the time nor
the occasion to enter into an in-
volved theological discussion of the
bristling differences between the
Conformist Church and the Sec-
tarain Dissenters. What we are
concerned with are their social and
political influences upon American
institutions and ideals. That these
were important factors to the very
eve of the Revolution, let the testi-
mony of James Madison suffice.
Ile, a communicant of the Angli-
can Church, wrote In 1774 • to. a
college classmate in Philadelphia:
"If the Church of England had
been the established and general
religion in all the Northern col-
onies, as it has been among us
here, and uninterrupted tranquility
had prevailed throughout the con-
tinent, it is clear to me that slav-
ery and subjection would have been
gradually insinuated among us"

IT'S EASY TO PICK THE
BEST USED CAR

BARGAINS

Here are the honest reasons why "you get
a better used car from a Buick dealer"

T'S no secret that the new Buicks

I are making sensational sales rec-

ords. People everywhere are trading
in some splendid cars for the thrill of
owning the new Buick.

This means that Buick dealers are
getting the cream of the used car
crop.

And, with business so good, these
Buick dealers have got to keep their
used cars moving — out.

That's why you can get a better used
car — at a better bargain price from
your Buick dealer.

But there's an even bigger reason
why your Buick dealer is your "best
bet." And that reason is this:— you
can trust your Buick dealer. He's in
business to stay. He has what is prob-
ably the most valuable franchise in
the business. He wouldn't dare take

•

any chances of disappointing you. He
knows that if he satisfies you now —
you'll come back to him some day for
another car or maybe a new Buick:

You know that any car dealer who
does business on that basis is mighty
careful to put honest prices on his
used cars — and to back up those
prices with a reputation that means
something.

Today's the Day

Right now is the time to see your
Buick dealer. Never before has he
had such attractive used car bargains
to show you. And he's in pasition to
offer you easy terms that are genu-

inely reasonable. •

Don't delay and run the risk of being
disappointed. See your Buick dealer
now and get a better used earl
