Most Beautiful of All Emblems.

Il once found myself wondering why
God had. through the whole history of
the eartlE saved up the most beautiful of
all the flags for our own nation. There is
no doubt, viewed from the standpoint of
art alone, that the Stars and Stripes is
the most exquisite ensign that ever fiut-
tered in a breeze. The answer is not far
to seek. Beyond the western waters was
raised up this giant republic, with its
kindly message of liberty to all the world
for all time. To 1t was committed this
priceless pearl, and il was but fitting that
the national emblem should reflect and
re-echo something of the value of the
gift ITSELF
The celebration program here included
