in foreign lands may become enlightened and
freed from bondage and our own dear flag may
be unfurled and, once planted, remain forever
as the emblem of liberty throughout the world.

held in Scranton. We have always met with a
cordial reception from the patriotic citizens of
this prosperous city. To them we are under
many obligations for the interest manifested in

who join with MS at our reunions,
The local committee always ON the alert, never
