THE uTrERMosT COURAGE

The instances OF sublime courage
on the European battle fields are so
numerous that it must be an extra
ordinary incident to command more
than passing attention." Eileen Ryan
of Montreal, who spent months in
the hospitals of England and Frace,
says:
But there was one case that came
under my notice. an example of the
most remarkable courage | have ever
known. An Irish guardsman was
brought to the hospital at EstaDles
despartely wounded Shrapnel had Ii
terally torn him apart. The surgeon
told the nurse to inform the guards
man that he had only short time to
live and to ask if he had any rela-
tives to whom he wanted to send q
message. 1t is a hard task to perform,
an ever nurses who witness death
and suffering every hour sometimes
hesitate. In this case the guardsman
was suffering intense pain.
The perspiration was standing out
in grea. beads on his forehead, but
he was enduring the pain like a stole
The nurse was drying his forehead
and trying TO relieve the pains as best
she could. Obeying the surgeons in
structions, she asked the Irishman if
he had any relatives, a wife, a moth
er to whom he wanted to send word

The FLAG In HISTORY

The resolution for the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes as the American emblem passed by the
Continental Congress June IA, 1877. An American
ship, the Columbia, carried the American flag around
the world in 17S7-1790.
The American flag was first displayed in a foreign
port from the mast of the American schooner Bedford
of Massachusetts which arrived in the British Downs
February 8, 1888.
The first American flag for the United States Navy
flung to- the breeze by John Paul Jones' the first
American naval officer to foreign foe. This
flag had but twelve it and it flew at the
topmast of the good ship Ranger
France recognized this flag while it floated over
the Ranger and this act also constituted the recog
milton of the young American government
Every battleship of the United States Navy is
titled to $50 American flags every three years. al
though there many renewals during that period
The cost of the flags for each ship is 49, 000 which
total large for the entire navy. The army

Extra ti0m and Reform

the physical senses has been his meas
ure of joy and happiness, yet with every
pleasure, he has found to his sorrow,
there is more than an equivalent of
pain. Then he reaches out for help, first
perhaps to materia medica, only to find
that it adds to his fears, of which he
already has too many. At last he comes
to a point in his experience where he
finds that it is really only his under
standing that is at fault. He has been
thinking only in terms of the five phys
ical senses, why then should he not
reap what he has sown? If sensation in
matter brings pleasure why not pain
also? Thus eXpiation brings him near
er and nearer to the point of true re-
form-the denial in thought and action
OF reality in matter and the acceptance
of God, Spirit, and His spiritual crea-
ton as the only reality. Things that
are not seen" take their rightful place
in consciousness, and his dominion
over all the earth, over the evidence of
the physical sense, be it pleasure or
pain, has begun.
1t is not then species of dishonesty,
"a wounding of all true logic.-to
claim that sin can be forgiven without
reformation, or its effects removed
from consciousness be merely perform
ing some ceremony? If the basis of be-
lief remains sinful, how can the evil
hidden in consciousness be overcome or
reformation take place? Is it not evil
dent that true reformation must begin
within, that is, must reform our under
standing? Christian Science, therefore,
is far more severe in it's arraignment
of sin than scholastic theology has ever
been, and the charge that sin is eX-
cused or forgiven without a true refor-
nation in the understanding cannot be
laid at its door. The consciousness that
hates, whether it be that of an individ-
ual or nation, will go on hating and
receiving hatred until matter is for
saken and Spirit is won. Our Master
said. With what measure we mete, it
shall be measured to you again"
EXpiation, it may be rightly said, is
nothing but the suffering that comes as
a rebound of our own wrong conclu
sions. Chritian Science, of course has
no God-created hell to offer to the sin
ner. He'll is physical or material; it is
hatred, fear, sin, disease, and death,
and divine Love has no materials out of
| which to create such a conglomeration
of errors. Mankind make their own
hell, that is hell is just the rebound of
sinful erroneous beliefs. Correcting our
own consciousness, putting it upon a
christianity scientific basis as found in
| Christian Science, the rebound of evil
| or error will cease. 1t has no impetus
except that which We have ignorantly
given to it ourselves. Ceasing to fear
we lose our diseases; ceasing to in
| dulge greed, we lose our spiritual pow
| erty and find a true sense of wealth;
ceasing to hate, we lose hate with all
| of its aliases and find love.

THE PATRIOT

Whether right wrong in its domestic or its for
eign policy judged by whatever standard whether of
expedency of principle, the American citizen can
recognize social duty intervening between himself
and his country He may urge reform; but he has no
right to destroy Intrusted with the precious
of liberty, endowed with the gift of participation
IN a popular government, the Constitution makes him
