The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-09-06

for the badge will tell.
 Will not the coat of arms and the word Alabama be sufficient?
 D. A. B. Ritual.
 The copy ordered has been received and we wish to commend 1t to Alabama chapters and trust they will adopt it. It may be best for the regents to order only one copy at first-the cheapest bind ing 35 cents-and let the members see it before its adoption by the chapter. Mrs Avery says, "the only difference of opin- ion concerning 1t, Is its length. but its adaptibility Is certainly it's strong point There is scarcely an organization in the country that does not have its ritual; as | informal as is the G. A. R. they never hold a regular meeting without using | their ritual" She says further "our rit- ual certainly adds to the dignity of our meetings and in a public meeting or any memorial occasion 1t is very impressive especially the closing. saluting the flag and the prayer from "Kipling's Recess sionaT' closing with the response-"Lest We forget, Lest we forget"
 Address Mrs. W. H. H. Avery, St. AL l bans. Vermont.
