Confederate FLAGS

The first Confederate flag. was the
stars and bars. Il blue field and three
stripes, one white and two red, and on
the blue field seven white stars in u
circle, Il star for each state that up to
that time had seeded. In battle how
ever, it was seen that this banner bore
altogether too close IL resemblance to
the stars and stripes, aud thus there
came into uS;l the Confederate battlefiag,
the origin of which seems to have been
as follows:
This is the statement Of General
William l.. Cabell: when the Con-
federate army commanded by General
Beauregard and the Federal army con
frOnted each other at Manassas, it was
seen that the Confederate flag and the
stars and stripes looked ut Il distance SO
much alike that it was hard to disting-
lsh one from the other General
Beauregard, thinking that serious mis-
takes might be made in Recognizing our
troops, after the battle of July rs at
Blackburn Ford. ordered that a small
badge should be worn on the left
shoulder by our troops and, as was
chief quarternaster. ordered me to
purchase large amount of red flannel
and to distribute it to each regiment"
This Conftds ate battleflay was
adopted in September, 1861, and was
designed by Generals Johnston and
Beauregard. Red was it's color, with a
blue st. Andrews cross reaching from
corner to corner and white stars on the
cross representing the different south
ern states. The women of the south
made these flags by hundreds out of
their red and blue silk dresses. Miss
Constance Cary, who afterward became
Mrs Burton Harrison, the we'll known
novelist, was one Of the three southern
girls who made the first three battle
hags.-Magazine eff American History.

BISHOP POINTS OUT
GREAT BLESSING IN
GODS GIFT TO US
Sending of the Saviour Has En-
thralled the Hearts of Men,
He Declares.

Bishop Edwin S. Lines yesterday
preached his Christmas sermon at
Christ Church, Belleville. The regular
rector of the church, C. S. Abbott, has
been in poor health for several days
He was at the church, however. and
assisted the bishop during the services.
Bishop Linesis text was from st. John
l.. 12: ''As many as received to them
gave He power TO become the sons OF
God"
His sermon, in part, was as follows.
''We look back to Bethlehem and the
Holy Child today and speak of Him
as Gods gift to us, a gift which re-
yeals the love of the Eternal Fathel,
the gift which makes US rich in hope
and spiritual power, which makes for
dignity self-respect real greatness in
the membership of the family of Goa.
We must receive Him in some fitting
way If we are to receive the great
blessing. He came unto His own and
they received Him not and the bless
ing came not to them. He is in the
world still, often unrecognlzed, NOT
truly received, and so. men are not
made to know that they are the sons
of God. All the world shares in some
iltdSQIt lllc DitSSlilB AilltIl IidS tOIlC
because the Son of God has come to
take His place among us. The evi-
dences of friendship and charity ana
goodwill. because the festival of the
nativity has come again, are seen all
about US. But there is blessing quite
beyond this in the realization of our
true relation to God through Jesus
Christ. The ordinary gift has not its
full value when it is simply added to
your material possessions. You must
enter into the spirit of the giver ana
heart must answer to heart. The book
is not yours simply because you place
it upon your Shelves. you must read
it and get at its meaning and message
il you are really to possess IT.
And the Christmas gift of the Son of
God Incarnate must be made real pos
session by receiving Him, by entering
into a living relation with Him as
friend and Saviour. He has come to
make Us know that we are the sons of
God, not simply by creation, but by
adoption and redemption. The great
truth of Christmas is not laid hold of
until this thought of ourselves as sons
of God is made real. The thought of
divine sonship, of the divine fatherhcod
has touched and held the hearts of men.
It has lifted them out of slavery to
other men, and out of that worst form
CT slavery--bondage to ones own baser
self. Sonship and fatherhood are not
mere names or abstract notions. but
eternal realities for every child of man.
The great God has stamped His own
likeness and image upon every man as
His child, Jesus Christ has come to let
all men see what sonship really is. and
He has given us His Holy Spirit to
make possible for every one the realiza-
tion of that IDEAL"
