It should always be remembered concerning Thomas Jefferson that he asked to be remembered for three things. First, that he was the author of the bill for religious freedom in Virginia. Second, that he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Third, that he was the founder of the University of Virginia. And he placed the separation of church and state (Virginia had her own church supported by law up to that time) first of all, and rightly so.

Elbert Hubbard wrote the following fine thoughts on the subject of home ownership: "The highest average of intelligence, happiness, and prosperity is found in the villages where each family owns his own home and where the renter is the exception. The ownership of a very small plot of ground steadies life, lends ballast to existence, and is a bond given to society for good behavior. 'I am no longer an anarchist; I have bought a lot and am building a house,'wrote a Russian refu8ee*to the folks back home."

Some wise man has said that a gentleman in the true sense of the word is a man who, in his daily life practices gentleness, kindness, consideration, moderation, mutual helpfulness, and the belief that one man's privileges end where another man's rights begin.

Let us close this essay with a true story about one of our great early Americans whose name was Patrick Henry. Thomas Jefferson had met him while he was tending bar in his father-in-law's tavern. The next time they met Patrick announced his intention of taking the examination for admission into the Virginia Bar. Jefferson remarked that he thought he was already a bartender, but }Ienry responded by saying that this was a different kind of a bar. Jefferson asked him how long he'd been studying law. Henry said three months. And Jefferson asked him if he didn't think he ought to take more time studying law. Henry replied, "Some men take a long time to learn things, others not so long."

And to the utter amazement of Jefferson, llenry was admitted to the Bar on his first examination. These two great men remained close friends for life, and in addition to the legal profession, they had something else in common; both were enthusiastic fiddlers.
