her loyal sons taking a conspicuous
part in the affairs of the state from
the beginning and it is not strange
therefore that east and west, north
and south, there has been a seemingly
spontaneous movement to place the
National Flag in its church buildings.
1T is true. we are churchmen,

tionally we are conservative and seem

ism and our religion are deep seated
and not simply flashes on the surface
or passing emotions Everywhere the
National Flag has been. placed in our
cathedrals and other churches and i'm
many places carried in procession be
hind the cross. You are aware per-
haps that on a man-of-war the only
flag which ever flies above the Ma
tional Flag is the church flag. which
tells of a Christian service to be held
or being held on board. The cross Is
above all. for it is for mankind and
mankind is above the Nation.
1t is the fashion Of some today to
belittle the nation and to take sup
posed stand for humanity but / would
cali attention to this fact that in our
present state OF human evolution ma
tional life Is necessity Man has
progressed in regular order from the
individual to the family. thence to a
collection Of families the tribe. and
then to the collection or tribes into a
nation. I believe that ultimately we
shall go beyond this to a federation OF
nations and then to. a federation OF
mankind.
But at the present we are in the
national stage and white we are called
upon to keep the Christian ideal clear.
ly before Us in national life we must
be ready as Christian, men to stand
for the principles for which the nation
stands, even though It means the sac.
rifice of wealth Of life.e
The flag Is the nations sacrament.
II is the outward and visible sign Of
all that for which the nation stands.
The Declaration Of Independence. the
Constitution, the national ideals are
ali embodied IN the flag ana because
of this We pay II honor and reverence
and place 1t in the Church Of God.
Love to ones country and that with
which God has. entrusted It, Is closely

ramental symbol of the nation has a
place in the sacrannentaI order OF the
