From a. very interesting article on
.IJistory of the Druids" in Notes and
Queries, of Manchester, N. H., we gam
the follOwing.
"vve are Indebted to the Druids, who
were the priests of the ancient Bit
ons ((and who 1t is claimed, date PACK
more than 10000 years to the very plrtn
Of the European races) for the words OF
God and humanity. God was a Druid
word meaning good. Hu was the Druid
name for Apollo, son of God, and stood
for humanity. 1t must have been from
the ancient Druids that the British
empire adopted the colors RED, wnite
and blue, for the union jack, whlcn
colors were later adopted for our own
stars ana Stripes. Among the Druids
white was used as a symbol or Coo,
hlue as an emblem Of the queen or
heaven or consort of God, red as the
emblem OF their son or messenger, Hu
or Apollo. One of the Druidic emblems
OF the queen of heaven and motner OF
marriage and chastity was ring.
Hence presumbably came our custom
of presenting a ring at marriage. II
is a significant fact that in most of tte
Druid characters and symbols both
male and female were represented, each
apparently being deemed of equal I'M
portance."
