Let us deal with the seven rcd stripes
first. Look at your flag, and you will
find that the long stripes are three
in number and the short stripes four.
Why are they so divided? Why not
five and two? The answer is: Be
cause three is a sacred number. and
next to one is the most significant,
and four is d sacred number also. One
represents the unity OF the Godhead,
and three the Threefold personality
of the Deity. Unity and Trinity, OF
plus 3 equal 4. and -four in symbolic
numbers represents completion oT
perfection. Four is unique in its COM
prehensiveness. Thus we speak Of
the four quarters of the globe. the
four cardinal points. the four seasons
of the year, the four winds of heaven,
and in Biblical imagery the four Liv-
ing Creatures, the four Judgments Of
God. etc. But three and four make
seven. another sacred number. In the
Book of Revelation we read OF the
Seven Candlesticks, the Seven Seals,

In the Bible there are certain num-

character is attached These are sig
nificant in the Christian as they were
in the Mosaic and the Edenic dispensa-
tons. In the flag there are numbers
and emblems apparently unconscious

numbers and emblemS of the Bible
and the flag are the same Yet we
cannot for a moment think that the
designers Of the flag consciously
selected these numbers and emblems

knew that they were sacred at all.

Morris house. on Harlem Heights, was
his military headquarters.
Every school boy knows that Wash
ington served his country without
compensation. that he kept an account
OF his actual expenses. which the gov
eminent was TO pay; but few know
that the Father of his Country was
one of the richest. If not the richest,
president we have ever had. Wash
ington was a millionaire in his own
time, which is equivalent to being a
multimillionaire at the present day.
1t is only necessary TO think of this
and the comforts his wealth would
have given him in England, or even
in France, TO realize the sacrifice he
made. Add 10 this that all his tastes
led him to the life OF the aristocrat.
and you will get still keener percep-
ton. If Washington made no COM
ment upon the fact that one of the
captains of his company. acting in the
capacity of barber. shaved the sol
diers in front of the house in which
he had his headquarters. ii was be-
cause his mind was occupied by more
weighty and important matters rather
than that he approved of such a
breach of military caste and dicci-
pline.
When he walked on the lawn he
had in his mind picture of the half
starved. half-naked soldiers all over
the country. For them he thought and
worked and prayed-the democratic
captain. strapping his razor. was a
trifie. Washington rode about the
place giving directions that the APP
proaches to his camp should be forti-
fed by redoubts, abatis and deep in
trenchments.
During these rides he saw some
work that instantly attracted his at
tention. Upon inquiry. he was told
that they were constructed by Capt.
Alexander Hamilton. This young
mans talents in the military line had
been previously spoken of to Washing
ton by Gen. Greene. Hamilton was
scarcely in his twenties at that time,

That at Fort Sullivan, Charleston har-

battle of Bunker Hill was fought was

that the union be thirteen stars, white
