terrOrs of the wilderness and Of savage

government
When they set up their flag in 1T77
and drew the sword in its defense, they
made il the symbol Of their startling
new doctrine that governments were
instituted for the benefit Of the gov

function was to secure to every man
his natural and inalienable rights,
among which were life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness
The flag was the emblem Of a creed
FOR humanity far higher than any ever
before announced by man II raised
manhood and womanhOOd far above
the accidents Of wealth, birth and So
cial rank, and made right and justice
for every one the supreme duty of
government
This gave our flag an unspeakable
exaltation above all other banners
which have been raised in the sunlight
Of heaven, and the character then
given it has been unfalteringly main
tanned amid the sOrest trials. Things
become sacred by being the object OF
the highest aspirations OF good men
and women. 1t is this which conse-
Since the flag was first unfurled
more than 100000 men have died
bravely and devOtedly under its folds.
They have only done this because it
represented the very best for humanity
that could be taught them In the
churches, in the schools and at home.
Wherever IL has gone it has always
represented the highest that all those
who love their kind wished and hoped
for
It has never led to battle except at
the bidding of the homes, the schools
and churches of the country Never.
