Those Presenting Gift.

Before an audience that packed St.
Mary's Hall last night, the Annapolis
Council of the Knights of Columbus
presented to the Parochial school of
that parish new flag and staff to take
the place of the one destroyed by
storm last August.
The ceremonies opened by the sing
ing of America" by the children of
the school, and the solo rendered in
this number by little George Woelfel
was worthy of special note.
The presentation address then fol-
lowed by Lieut.. c. A. Zimmerman,
the Grand Knight of the, local Council,
who asked the rector, Rev Francis
Klader, to accept the flag and staff on
behalf of the knights of Columbus of
his parish, that it may ever adorn the
schoolhouse, and which they, as patri-
otic Americans, were pleased to pre-
sent TO him.
The Grand knight said he voiced the
sentiments OF MS brother Knight that
they are glad # this opportunity to
display their patriotism to their oun-
try, and Their willingness to ass the
Mother Church in matters of this lind.
The Rector in a well-worded sraech.
accepted the gift of the Knigh 5, for
himself and the Sisters of the school,
and profusely thanked the Annapolis
members of the X. of c. He said il
pleased him very much to find his CO.
operation between the clergy and the
Knights and hoped this feeling of 10y
atty to church and state would rebound
to the credit of the Order. The orator
of the occasion was the Hon. Charles
w. Heuisler, of the Supreme Bench,
of Baltimore, who is a Past State
Deputy of Maryland of the Order.
Judge Heuisler dwelts'upon the sig
nificance of the flag to all Americans,
describing the meaning of the colors
Red, White and Blue; the stars rep
resentative of the number of states.
and told of the part Catholics took in
the events that made possible the
banner of the Stars and Stripes. He
said that if man was a good Catho-
lie, he was necessarily a good Ameri-
can, since the fundamental principle
of each was obedience to lawful au-
thority.
WI. uliip ". MuSllGT, lue lpFeSGnI
State Deputy, then addressed the au-
dience on the aims and objects of the
Knights of Columbus, how it had
grown to be powerful order of nearly
800, 900 loyal Americans and Catholics,
and urged the men of St. Mary's Par
1sh to join it's ranks.
A flag drill by the children of the
school which followed, was very
cleverly executed, and brought forth
rounds of applause, tableau "Colum-
bia" and the singing of the "Star-
Spangled Banner" by the entire assem-
blage, brought the ceremonies to
close. Between the various numbers
the Naval Academy orchestra rendered
musical selections.
During the ceremonies of speech
making the Annapolis members of the
Order were seated on the stage, which
was tastefuly decorated with patriotic
colors. The large hall was also Esuit-
ably decorated.
