Over Two Hun
dred Confessions
Evangelistic Campaign Has Posi-
tive Grip on Community
Budget Expenses All Raised.

Far exceeding the highest eXpecta-
tions OF the most sanguine enthusiasts
,of the Loose Evangelistic Campaign
hire in East Jordan were the results Of
TIE work up to and including the meet
ings OF last Sunday From the time Of
opening OF this campaign religious en-
thusiasm has marked the highest pitch
and Sunday can well be considered the
greatest day religiously that East Jor-
dan has passed through.
Beginning with the Union Service in
the morning Evangelist Loose raised
the total amount of money required 10
defray all expenses OF the campaign
except the final Offering or effort to
raise an adequate amount for the COM
pensation Of Evangelist Loose who not
only has come here without any definite
sum demanded but also pays part of
the salary of his helpers.
AT 3p. IN however, when the men
crowded the Armory and every avail
able seat was taken with many stand
ing even before the service opened il
went without saying that great meet
ing was on. With his masterful ad-
dress on white Slaves" Evangelist
Loose gripped the attention OF this
large body of men, scores OF whom
signified by shaking the Evangelists
hand at the close of the meeting that
they were lined up with him in up
holding his high standards of morality.
The second OF the series OF his theme,
entitled, dad and His Boy" is to be
given next Sunday afternoon when il
will be necessary TO use the Opera
House to accommodate the still larger
crowd of men who doubtless will come
not only from our city but from the ad-
joining villages and country as well
Evangelist Loose wants il understood
that no boys under twelve years OF age
will be permitted to this service.
Sunday night, like the previous Fri
day night known as "Mill Night" and
the following Monday night known as
High School" night was one marked
with intense spiritual power and pas
sion. The singing led by Prof. Willgus,
the Evangelists sermon on the ARK"
and the personal persuasion OF local
workers under Gods favor resulted in
from sixty 10 seventy decisions and
confessions up to the present time over
two hundred have responded to Evan
gelist Loose's appeals to live Christian
life. The prayer districts, comprising
an important feature OF the campaign,
have shown steady increase in at
tendance until from one hundred to one
hundred and thirty meet every morn
ing at different homes all over the city
for prayer and conference work.
For day or two this week the Party
is without a business manager and
personal worker among men, as Rev.
Henry q. Bowden, who filled that posi-
ton, was called to take up work else
where. Ii is believed, however, the
work will sustain no loss in this respect
as Rev. Dick Brauston, of Berwick, Pa.
Who has had wide experience in this
with many of the leading evangel.
rs of the country Immediately took his
place and is now lined up for real
definite Kingdom work. The Party
has confidence that the results of next
Sunday and the following week will far
exceed anything that has been done
here, for East Jordan has responded
enthusiastically to this Campaign.

BEAUTIFUL SYMBOL
ZATION OF THE FLAG

There is the national flag! He must
be cold indeed who can look upon its
folds ripping in the breeze without
pride of country. II he be in foreign
land, the flag is companionship, and
country itself with all its endearments.
Who as he sees it can think of a state
merely? Whose eyes once fastened up
on its radiant trophies can fail to re-
cognize the image of the whole nation?
II has been called "a floating piece of
poetry, and yet know not if it have
any intrinsic beauty beyond other en-
signs. Its highest beauty is what it
symbolizes. II is piece OF bunting
lifted in the air; but il speaks sublimely
and every part has voice. Its stripes
OF alternate red and white proclaim the
original union OF thirteen states to
maintain the declaration of indie
pendence. Its stars, white on a field of
blue, proclaim that union of states
constituting our national constellation
which receives a new star with every
new state. The two together signify
union, past and present. The very
colors have language which was Of
ficially recognized by our fathers. White
is for purity; red for valor; blue for
justice; and all together, bunting,
stripes, stars and colors, blazing in the
sky, make the flag of our country, to
be cherished by all our hearts, TO be
upheld by all our hands. Charles
Summer.
Growing out of our relation to the
world war, a patriotic fervor is sweep
ing the land. Our national emblem
symbolizes all that our nation stands
for. There are certain rules of etquet
relating to the national flag and below
are the rules as given out by the De-
partment OF Public Instruction.
Etiquet of "Old Glory"
"The American flag should not be
hoisted before sunrise nor allowed to
remain up after sunset
AT "retreat" sunset, civilian spec
tators should stand at attention" and
uncover during the playing of "The
Star Spangled Banner" Military
spectators are required by regulations
to stand at attention" and give the
military salute. During the playing of
the national hymn at retreat" the flag
| should be lowered, but not then allow
ed to touch the ground
When the national colors are passing
on parade, or in review, the spectators
should, if walking, halt, and if sitting,
arise and stand at attention" and un-
cover.
When the national and state, or other
flags fly together, the national flag
should be placed on the right.
When the flag is flown at half staff
as sign of mourning, it should be
hoisted to full mast at the conclusion of
the funeral.
The national salute is one gun for
every state. The international salute
is, under the law of nations, twenty
one guns.
Whenever possible the flag should be
flown from a staff or mast but should
not be fastened to the side of build
ing, platform or scaffoldng
When the flag is used as a banner
the union should fly to the north on
streets running east and west and to
the east on streets running north and
south.
When flags are us d in unveiling a
statue or monument they should not be
allowed to fall to the ground, but should
be carried aloft to wave out, forming
distinctive feature during the remain
der of the ceremony"
