to turn our thoughts to a critical ex-
animation Of the condition of our ma

have seemed to threaten to divide us
in our interests and sympathy. of
forces within and without that seemed
likely to draw US away from traditions
of united purpose and action of which
We have been so proud.
T TT has therefore seemed to me
fitting that I should call your at
tention to the approach of the ami
versary of the day on which the flag OF
the United States was adopted by the
congress as the emblem of the nation
and that it should this year and the
years to come be given a special sig
nificance. day upon which we should
direct our minds with a special desire
of renewal Of, thoughts Of ideals and
principles of which we have sought to
make our great government the en-
bodiment.
Calls For Patriotic Exercises.
II therefore suggest and request that
thruout the nation and, II possible, in
every community, the 14th day OF
June be observed as flag day. with
special patriotic. exercises, at which
means shall be taken to give signifi-
cant expression to our thought lovt
OF sA1uerica our cofnprelfe of the
great mission of liberty and justice, t

each generation and our resolution &c
demonstrates to all the world its vita
union in sentiment and purpose ac-
cepting% only those as true com
patriots who feel as we do the com
pulsion Of this supreme allegiance.
let us on that, day rededicate our'
selves to the nation, 'one and in-
separable,' from which every thought
that is not worthy of our fathers first

right shall be excluded. and in which
we shall stand with united hearts for
