 It is a most serious matter wher- even one American brother has been IODDE0 OI Ills A0ElLl anu AAEEA0aala aaa4a then shall we do when confronted with the abuse and oppression Of thousands of our own people T. Is time for some of you to search out your too long hid den flag and. in contemplation. send your minds back to the time when te- old sires marched and toiled. until tyrants bullets cut the arteries and stripes of red washed across the white banner. then in a field of blue were set the stars, with as high purpose as the magnificent machinery Of the planets. set by that same God in the royal pUr- pie of his heaven. Those old grand fathers were sent out by the impulses of the Infinite Father tO win back the lost crown of human liberty. the best gift to his children.
 With 1t came to us a noble flag t0 be ever held as a symbol and reminder of that crown so dearly won back aft-E having been lost by apathy. CoWardica and compromise with the eternal priu- cipIes.
 That old flag bears a message to us from our grandfathers. and stronger still from the Infinite Father who iu- spired them In solemn tones it de- mands that we stand together now and always whenever one single Americau son be threatened with the loss of his blood-bought inheritance. his persouai liberty.

 Slavery is rampant in our midst. and pleading voices vibrate about the closed ears and hidden heads or Mongrsls. Ty-- rants, Slaves and Freemeu and win uot be still. Those spirit voices of dead fathers and the cries or their helplsss children blend with the message woven through the old banner or our sir-s. and cal. and call. and call God help the helpless when Americans become blunted and stupe;ied with iudiffer- ence.
