CHURCH FLAG
is FLYING.
Bishop Coleman Raised
the Emblem at Bishop
stead this Morning.

At o'clock this morning the first
church flag In America wa, floated to he

ware. However much Significance tho
raising Of the first church flag in tho
country might snssn to command there
Was little or no ceremony attending the
debut Of the mblem into the elements Of
nature.
Bishop Coleman simply hauled the flag
to the top of the pole and the members OF
his family and children of the neighbor-
hood only stood under the waving folds
Of tho church emblem which will doubt.
less soon have counterparts in all sections
OF the country, and only commented on
the fact OF its seeming anxiousness TO be-
como part Of the galaxy Of flags.
Today, ST. Bartholomew's Day. was
most appropriate one Tor tho raj sing Of the
emblem 1t Is a feast day and In tho
little chapel the service ofthe Holy Com
munion was celebrated by the bishop
after he had raised the flag.
Fbc fl lg pole is located at the eastern
end of tho bishops chapel and was tho
gift of a man confirmed at Bishopstead. 1t
has recently boen regilded and painted.
There is u ball and cross on the top OF
the pole. The ball signifies the earth and
the cross is the emblem Of christianity.
Tho pole is sixty feet high.
The flag il very pretty ono and Is
feet inches square aud may be described
as, barry of thirteen gulc- on an inescutch
lou argent of seven. .hrteenths, a cross pa.
tonce, purpuro. In other words there are
thirteen bars Of rcd and white bunting
alternately, with a centre field OF white in
which is an Episcopal cross in purple
The reason the flag is squire instead Of tho
usua! shape, is that the square design is
moro ancient and is more serviceable in
the wind.
Never before has any organization, re-
ligious or secular, essayed to adopt as its
emblem flag and the institution of
church flag by Bishop Coleman is q mat
ter of international Importance.
The bishop after much thou ght and ex-
tensive study upon the question, came to
tho conclusion that the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in America must have flag;
must float from her flag staff an emblem
which will denote patriotism for ones
church and which is expected primarily
to kaep the people in a knowledge of
church events.
Tho idea is to have the new flag fly from
a fling pole ut every Prot' s'nnt Church in
America, and all other churches who con-
socia with the movement on days of
special importance in church history
