Our FIau,
From Youths Companion

Many American travellers, caught last
summer on the continent, had, as is
we'll known, great difficulty in making
their way to England. Some OF them
were fortunate enough, on reaching
Calais to find an American warship
ready to transport them across the
channel. They relate that the most
thrilling of all their experiences was
the sight of that warship flying the
American flag; and when. at sundown.
the whole crew saluted the flag with
solemn observance, they say that scar
cely a man was able to refrain from
tears.
In times like these, when we see the
stars and stripes floating casually from
our schools n public buildings. it is
we'll for US to remember it's signi-
lcance. 1t is Wen for us to stir our
l~maglnatlons with all that the flag
stands for-with the sense of the free
dom and protection. with the splendid
assurance. and with the vast and
solemn dignity hat come from feeling
that such an emblem belongs to us.
All forms of honoring the flag are
desirable and commendable = the
patriotic poems n speeches; but the
best way of all to honor it is to teach
our children and to teach ourselves TO
be worthy of it. What is the use Of
salutes and martial music if the flag
is. after all, to fly over a people who
are s~elf-indulgent, self-seeking, indif-
ferent to high ideals, forgetful of self
neglectful Of their duty to one
another and to God? Salute the flag
With all the formalities you please: but
we shall honor it most if we resolve
every man, woman and child Of us-to
our part in making the other nations
of the earth honor and respect that flag
because 1t floats over a people to whom
honor and respect are due.
