CHURCH UNDER
TWO FLAGS AMER
.ICAN AND CHRISTIAN

A most interesting feature OF the
morning service Sunday, Feb. IS, at the
Winthrop street Universalist church,
was the presentation, by the BOY
Scouts of a silk American flag, and by
the Sunday School of a Christian flag
Immediately after the OffertorN the
Scouts under the lead of Bugler Spot
ford GiddingS, marched into the church,
IN the east center aisle and took posi-
ton at the right facing the chancel
Master Frank Hewins, Jr., bore the
flag. and Williams Getchell made the
presentation address. The Scouts sal
uted and the choir and congregation
sang The Star Spangled Banner
At the same time a delegation from
tie Sunday School moved up the west
center aisle and took position opposite
the Scouts and in front of the chancel.
The beautiful silk Christian flag was
borne by Robert Page. The flag was
presented by Philip A. Sylvester sup
erintendent. and the school saluted af-
ter the form adopted for that purpose:
Il pledge alleolance to my flag and to
the Savior for whose kingdom it
stands; one Brotherhood, uniting all
mankind in service ana love- The
choir and congregation then sang ON
ward Christian Soldiers"
The minister Rev. A. Francis Walch,
accented the flags on behalf OF the
church. and preached sermon on The
Foundations of tie Republic, from the
words, Fear God Honor the King
Peter 2:17. Mr.. Walch spoke in part
as follows:
Our service today comes nearly mid
way between the birthdays of our two
most illustrious Americans. Washing
ton and Lincoln. These men stand for
things that are of supreme importance
in our national life. They interpret
finely the text which inculcates exact
" what these flags typify, viz.-Relig-
ion end Patriotism love of God and
love of mankind. These are the two
chief corner-stores of the republic
Our national life IS huilded on these as
a foundation Without fear Of God
there can be no enduring nation. and
without the spirit of brotherhood no
advancing. progressive national life.
The strength and resource of nation
is its men and women, brought :orth
and brought up, pledged to high Ideals
and sacred service for the common
good And in the characters of Wash
incton and Lincoln we are fortunate in
possessing the very finest examples of
such lives
THE influence of these men is not.
confined to our own nation. but reaches
out to others far removed from us in
space and civilization. In the Far East
and among the less enlightened Of the
earth. the names of Washington and
Lincoln are known, their influence is
felt, and their aspirations quicken
toward new days and wider achieve
ment This is part of Americas con-
tribution to the world welfare. When
peace comes after this dreadful war,
these men will rise to still higher i'm
portance and reach out to still more
blessed and blessing influence. How

Automobile owners find that whether
or not they ever have a car stolen, the
feeling of safety which they get from
carrying theft insurance more than
compensates them for the small pre-
MUM they have to pay.
When the owner goes on a fishing
trip and leaves his car beside a wood
road, or on a trip through a strange
city, goes into q crowded store and
leaves his car Ivy the curb or leaves
his car alone anywhere at any time
he knows that his theft insurance
protects him better than any locking
device ever invented.

our national ideals sacred and un-

Warriors, but of brothers, we may
stretch out the hand of helpfulness,
from a government that stands first of
all for God, and all His children.-for
Religion and Patriotism,-for govern

mortality to nations as to individuals,
and these shall remain when all else

war is necessary, until the last hall

also hold something to be greater than
