SPEAKS OF THEC0N5TITUTI0N
WILLIAM ROBERT FUOSS GAVE
ADDRESS ON SUNDAY
Speaking to the Bible classes of
the Bellwood First Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morning at 10
</clock, William Robert Fuoss, in
his inimitable manner, delivered an
eloquent end forceful address aa
the American Constitution. Mr.
Fuoss, ex-serviceman and well
known Central Pennsylvania orator
and writer, stressed Spiritual values
reminding his bearers that "the
American Con-Jtttistfon literally
breathed into itself the Spiritual
qualities which constitutes the essence of a will snd determination
not alone to live bat to as* that
►others are likewise permitted to
also live."
The address waa an earnest exposition, crowded with s wealth of
salient truths given in s challenging manner. At the outset, Mr.
Fuoss gave a brief histories! resume of the historic document
he characterized as "the Magna
Carta of American liberties." So
sacred is this Constitution, he said,
"that no one man or men, no one
group or groups, can. truthfully say
they cherish it more than any one
of the others, because R ta a typically American document, breathing into itself ithe will and determination of a people to expand, de-
Hrelop and enlarge not alone in a
material and cultural sense hut,
primarily, in a Spiritual sense."
The speaker suggested an appropriate theme for his study; la
other words, "He Knew In Whom
He Had Believed." Hs quoted
from Second Timothy wherein it
said, "I have fought a good fight;
I have finished my course; I have
kept the faith." Touching of tbe
inherent spiritual values of the
American Constitution, he traced
the very preamble of thst docu-
iacpng great stress an.   the
big great atress am    the  gj-ound*.
of Im wonts tt*OW^end: **T*i-eciel church services wflf
"People." These, he said, are the
same and they relate to the essential truth that "the people ana the
Government, and that the Government ia made to represent the people, in whose welfare the Constitution was prepared."
"Just now," he recited, " the
country ia filled with so-called defenders of this Constitution, Recently, its anniversary saw more of
them than usual. The question
rthen arises ia it in danger and if ao
la danger of what and of whom?
It tt my candid belief that if this
sacred document ia in danger it is
not so endangered by those who sre
now trying to win justice and security for the Amldrfcan people
under it; rather it is not hi' danger
from those who would use it to
perpetuate old wrongs and' cloak
privilege with legal sanctity?"
The speaker here asserted that,
tn his belief, the real defenders of
<the sacred document are those men
who for 147 years have kept it
alive by adapting ite very essential
principles to the changing needs of
the Republic. Among these, he
said, have been such as George
Washington who, the speaker assert
ed, wae ready to admit imperfections and pointed .to 'the door for
future amendments and alterations
Ba needed from time to time*".
Mr. 'Fuoss then quoted 'from Chief
Justice Marshall who, he aaid, held
it would have been unwise far the
fathers to "provide immutable rules
for exigencies which, if forseen at
all, must have been forseen dimly,
and which can be best provided for
as they occur."
Reading from the writings of
Mr. Justice Brewer, the speaker
quoted that learned authority ae
having aaJi: "Constitutional provisions do not change, but their operation extends to new matters as ths
modes of business sad the habits
of life of people vary from each
succeeding generation.** Further
proof of this .contention, he emphatically asserted, is found in the
Works af (such leah-ned authorities
se Justices Holmes, Brandeis and
Cardoso. It was Justice Holmes,
hs reminded, who aaid that the
"American Constitution k aa experiment, every year, if not every
day, we have to wager oar salvation
upon some prophesy baaed upon
imperfect knowledge." To Justice
Brandeis was ascribed tb* asser-
tion "that there must be power m
ths State and Nation to remold
through experimentation, our economic practices and institutions, to

dozo ea having said "the greet generalities of the Constitution have a

The exposition closed with an
appeal for "the living lives m

Understood and applied; wjll right
