brought home bsttlc-scarred, yet gloriously
victorious; the emblem that has been the bur-
ial robe of many hero, the standard of our
own free land, America. And we love this flag.

for it, have been so proud Of it. Aud when the
time came for us TO carry it to the w .R.C., it

to the Indiana Division put on the minutes,
with the hope that we might grow into a strong
and worthy Order, aud again take possession of
our flag.
And. then. in the silence that followed, with
