ituaiists of Denying Faith

The startling statement that the
churches of this city include hundreds
OF SpiritualiSts who are ashamed to ad-
nit the fact by attaching themselves

he had promised regarding the vice and
wickedness of this city.
Not in generalities, but in specific
terms, We're the particular phases of
crime and enforcement of law

an opportunity during the next few
months in restoring high moral tone
to the city.

Not the Sea Serpent after All.

The unsentimental. unimaginative
and iconclastic scientists have arrived
upon the scene, and, after thorough
examination of the remains of the sea
serpent which was washed up on the
beach at Old Orchard, last week, ex-
press the opinion that it is no sea SER
pent ut ALL but only an uncommon spe-
Gle of the whale family. However, Old
Orchard gets lot of free advertising.
and many hundreds of people have had
the satisfaction of seeing something out
of the depths of the sea which they
never gazed at before. Scientists say
that in life the whale was doubtless IS
or so feet in length, and belonged to the
sO-called whalebOne species. kind of
whale longer and of less diameter than
that commonly found in the North At
lantic waters. Being of such a shape
and not being complete, it did not re-
quire a great stretch of imagination on
the part of reporters and old sailors,
who first saw the carcass, to declare
that it was q part of huge snake
which had been brought in by the tide;
perhaps the body of some prehistoric
creature, encased for many centuries in
an iceberg. and at length set free, but
more likely the remains Of the sea SER
pent itself, that vague and terrible
monster which has been periodically
sighted in some part of the world.
The edict of the scientists makes it
plain that the great deep has not yet
given up the sea serpent. and probably
never will. It is not difficult for those
who believe in the sea serpent at all to
believe that the creature is immortal,
and that it will go on forever as it has
gone on in the past, rearing its horrid
head above the waves. raising its shay
gy name and flashing the sea into foam
with its TAIL Being a member of the
snake family. the sea serpent is too
wise to betray itself into coming
ashore where it can be examined at
leisure by scientists.
There was never a time. since re-
corded history began that sailors and
people living by the sea have not be-
lieved in awful and gigantic monsters
inhabiting old ocean. Legends Of the
sea serpent are almost innumerable. an

Elao Day, June ~.

1t Is in order to call attention to the
fact that tomorrow, June -. will be the
12Sth birthday of the American flag
and that the day, which has been desig-
mated as Flag day" through the
efforts Of the patriotic societies, should
be appropriately observed throughout
the length and breadth Of the land.
No elaborate observance is called for.
and nothing Involving any great trou-
BILE. expense or loss, Of time. The cele-
bration Of the day, by \ beautiful GUS
tom established in the past few years.
consists simply Of the display Of the
American flag by every individual cor
poration, firm, institution or munich
pality owning one. So let Old Glory.
the beloved emblem Of our liberty and
our national greatness, be flung to the
breeze. Wednesday. morning, from
every public institution. place Of bust
ness and private residence.
In many Of the states tomorrow,
pursuant to law, the public schools and
also voluntarily in private schools, ex-
ercises will be conducted in celebration
of Flag day. Let us extend this prac-
tice. Teach the story of the flag, what
1t represents, and have the young peo-
pie pledge their fealty and loyalty to
it. On the 14th day Of June 1777. Con-
gress enacted: THAT the flag Of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes. alternate red and white; that
the Union be thirteen stars, white in
a blue field, representing a new con-
stellation." The number Of the stripes
having been increased by the admis-
sion Of new states, the possibilities of
the nations future development
dawned upon our fathers, and the
original thirteen stripes were un-
changeably restored by act of Congress
on April 4, 1918, when it was enacted:
THAT from and after the fourth day Of
July next, the flag of the United States
be thirteen horizontal stripes. alternate
red and white; that the Union be
twenty stars<white IN blue field,
and that on the admission of new
state into the Union, one star be added
to the union Of the flag; and such ad-
dition take effect OH the fourth day of
July next succeeding such admission"
Since 1878 20 stars or sovereign States
have been added to the Union, max
ing As in all.
Since the struggle of 1S61-1S65. the
Flag has become the symbol Of 4
mighty nation. 1t has been carried to
the utmost parts Of the earth, carrying
liberty wherever it has been thrown to
the breeze. Americans cannot fail Of
feeling of pride and satisfaction. nor
restrain the swelling Of patriotism in
the breast, when We contrast the
meaning, in far distant lands, of ours
and other flags displayed together.
The stars and stripes within the recent
past have come to possess new beauty
for friendly eyes and new terror for
the foes of liberty. We earnestly ex-
hort our citizens to join in making
Flag day an event, and its celebration
In 1905, a great event. Let us from one
end Of our land to the other, fling the
stars and stripes to the breeze on June
IA. 1906 May it greet the rising and
salute the setting sun, and float all
day long from every church edifice,
school and building, public and private
and however humble, throughout the
entire land.
