Great Britain adopted for the whole realm the
union flag OF st. James During the early part OF
the Revolutionary period each colony used an
emblem of its own-frequently the coat-ofarms
of the colony with the addition of some such
notices as rQui transtut sustnet," or George

Here Is my love to your silken folds wher-

For you are the flag of land for which
I were sweet for a man to die!
Native or foreign are all as one when
cometh the day of strife.
What is the dearest gift we can give for
the flag but human life?
Native or foreign are all the same when
the hearts blood reddens the earth.
And native or foreign. t is love like this is
the ultimate test of our worth!
Native or immigrant-here is the task to
which we must summon our powers
Ever unsulled to keep the flag in peace as
In wars wild hours
Seliishness. narrowness. graft and, greed.
and the evil that hates the light,
All these are foes of the flag today. all
these we must face and fight
Symbol of hope to me and mine and to all
who aspire to be free! ,s.,
Ever your golden stars may shine. from the
east to the western sea!
Ever your golden stars may shine. and ever
your stripes may CLEAN
To lead us on from the deeds we do to
the greater deeds that we dreaml
Here Is our love to you. flag of the free. and
nag of the tried and true;
Here Is our love to your streaming stripes,

True Friendship.

Friendship is a moral passion. and
all great friendships spring out of the
generous. catholic-spirited honest soul
A bad man cannot be good friend
Friendship gets its permanence from
character. Because OF fickleness. su-
perficiality, ignorance and evil motives.
some have robbed themselves OF this
divine capacity. In this respect, the
dog, strange enough, is superior to
man. The dog is faithful to the end.
He clings to Rip Van Wrinkle, showing
the instinct of something akin to the
Ivy which clings to the oak. 1t is bet
ter to be a weak friend than strong
enemy.
