Instructive 'History of American Revolution' A thorough study of the Amer- ican Revolution, based on deep re- search, has just been issued by Knopf: "A History of the American Rev- olution" by Prof. John R. Alden, emerges as one of the most signifi- cant works of research on the subject. Dr. Alden, a native of Michigan, who studied at the U. of M. and had a U-M professorship among the academic roles he has played in recent years, touches upon the basic political aspects as well as the economic, the military and the social. Prof. Alden points out in the course of his analyses that "the Jews supplied devout Loyalists as well as devoted Patriots." Touching upon the question of religious freedom, Dr. Alden states that in the period between 1776 and 1787 "liberal-minded men continued to fear that religious tyranny would be revived by arrogant bishops, in- tolerant clergymen and ignorant Passover Greetings laymen passionately clinging to el Becker Bros.

What person, Office and Factory Forms knowing the propensity of man to Commercial and Office Stationery persecute his fellows, will say that Established 1915 their alarm was groundless, even 9 7709 TWELFTH in America? Such men saw a grave 4 Blocks N. of Grand Blvd. defect in the Federal Constitution 895-0800 of 1787; it did not forbid the forma- tion of a national church. They de- manded that it be altered so as to Passover Greetings preclude the founding of such an to Our Friends and Patrons instrument' of tyranny. Liberal James Madison had the honor of presenting to Congress for that pur- KIEHLER pose a part of the First Amendment to the organizing Instrument of PHARMACY 1787. Adopted in 1791, it proclaimed 18018 James Couzens that 'Congress shall make no law 342-2233 respecting an establishment of re- ligion, or prohibiting the free exer- cise thereof.' That provision was, Happy Passover To All in the 20th Century, construed by the Federal Supreme Court to apply to the several states as well as the United States. Even so, all the ties between government and religion in America were not, and are not, cut. Christian sects and Christians 17606 Sussex in general—with notable excep- tions, including most Baptists—con- tinue to ask for special favor from political officialdom. They express Best Wishes for the Passover admiration for Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and John Adams, but they do not possess the gen- erous spirit and wisdom those men manifested toward religion. They do not permit worship of the 18215 Livernois UN 3 - 4516 Founding Fathers to interfere with their own religious and moral credos." Dealing with the question of Passover Best Wishes to social reform, Dr. Alden also as- Our Friends and Customers serted that in the early period "favor was given to orthodox Christians at the expense of ag- Kosher Meat and Poultry Market notics, deists, atheists, Jews and Choice Quality Prducts unorthodox Christians even in 20434 W. 7 Mile KE 5-8888 those colonies where no one kind Free Delivery of Christianity was legally exalt- L MR.

But he amends this by saying: "Fortu- nately, most of the great leaders of the Revolutionary generation were devoted to religious as well as political liberty. Christian by inheritance and rearing, they de- clined in maturity to believe that the whole truth about man, about the universe, was to be found in revelations vouchsafed to certain persons among the Hebrews more than 17 centuries before their own time. Nor could they concede the validity of elaborate and ingenious interpretations of the personality and mission of Christ offered by ancient Greek logicians, by St. Augustine, by Thomas Aquinas, by the papacy, by Martin Luther, by John Cal- vin, or by Anglican Archbishop William Laud. Much less could they accept a claim by any cler- gyman that he or his church pro- vided the one and only avenue to personal salvation. In their old age Jefferson and John Adams exchanged opinions in a fascinat- ing series of letters. Jefferson de- clared that he detested the Ro- man Church. Why, asked Adams, should the Virginian confine his loathing to that one church? All religious hierarchies, asserted Adams, were as vicious as orders of nobility." Students of the history of that period as well as of the Constitu- tion will find immense value in the research and conclusions of Dr. Alden. "Sanctioning the Constitu- tion," he declares, "the Americans confirmed the far-reaching reforms of the Revolution and opened the way for many more wholesome changes to come." Alden's "A History of the Amer- ican Revolution" is one of the great works on a subject that is limitless and is made more understandable by the author of this significant work. LANSING—Pharmacists through- out Michigan are participating in a public education program on poison prevention, and prepared- ness in case of an accidental poisoning, announced Robert C. Johnson, executive director of the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association. Over 500,000 children are acci- dentally poisoned in the United States each year. More than 2,000 deaths could be attributed to pois- oning by either solids or liquids, of which the largest classification is medicines. In 1967, there were 72,661 inges- tions among children under five years of age. More than half of the fatalities occur in children under age 4. To attempt to reduce these fig- ures, the Michigan State Pharma ceutical Association is undertaking a program to educate the children and teach them to respect drugs. 131113 A. J. Marshall Co.
