MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever a prominent person dies. espe-
cially IL he is connected with the gov
ernment, the flags on public build
lngs are hoisted only part Of the way
up. remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to. have the flag
Of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanQuish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten It hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was a token not only of
submission, but Of respect.
In those days when a famous SOL
der died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
Of universal respect. The space left
above 1t is for the flag of the great
conqueorr of all-the angel of death.

Insurgent Episcopal Clergy.

The United Glorious Of Episcopalians IN
the far Northwest has been convenins
in Portland. Its attendants came NOT
only from Oregan. Washington. and other
Pacafc communities. but also from across
the Canadian line. from Vancouver and
British Columbia. For that reason q
discussion on. the episcopacy in relation
Of church union was Of more than con-
ventional interest and significance. The
clergyman who introduced the subject
made statements in his paper which Dor
dered on the sensational. For instance
he presented figures indicating That an
the ordinary clergy and deaconesses on
the Pa cff;c Coast cost the General Board
OF Missions less than $4,000, while II
REQUIRED over So. go for the seven bishops
over them: that. in one instance, inc
hisbop has cost the board nearly three
times as much as all the other cIetSS
put together" The speaker CRITICISED the
lack OF a central head. with each oishop
under no supervision or oversight. and
declared that certain rules of ordination
were "habituaIy disregarded with I'M
punitv'' Naturally. after such scath!ng
indictments, there were many calls from
the floor for speeches from the bishops
present The latter for the most part
declined to enter the discussion, which,
therefore. shifted to grounds more intl-
mately connected with the topic in hand
At the time. some remarks by Principal
Vance Of Vancouver, may be considered
fairly typical Admitting that there
is TO great movement toward the ansl-
can church." he went on to say: what
ever may be true about divine rights
vested in hiearchies, it is true they are
not favorable for the ecclestical unity
we say they secure. We cannot be so
certain for the New Testment about the
episcopacy as to say we will accept no
union except the episcopacy be a basis
of union" In view Of the efforts now
being made by Episcopalans toward a
world conference on Christian unity,
these insurgents declarations on the epis-
copacp-the inevitable stumbling block of
ali union movements-are significant.
