Speech,

Washington, May "a fCongress-
man j. w. Fordney gave lthe House
a sample of Michigan ho4espun elo-
quence during the closing hours of
the debate on the war revenue bill.
He warned his colleagues of the
dangers ahead, he referred feelingly
to the enlistment of his son in the
army, and waxed humorous over the
honesty of the rich and the poor. In
making plea for speedy passage of
the bill without amendment he said !:
"The American soldier is brave
and is not afraid to meet his enemy
on a fair footing, but to send your
son to the trenches with a gun on
his shoulder, but with a cartridge box
empty, and with nothing to eat in his
knapsack would not be fair propo-

Two minutes after launching his
eloquence, Mr.. Fordney was making
a humorous comparison which set the
House to roaring. In discussing the
income tax provisions he declared
there was no excuse for rich man 8

In the ceremony of blessing the flag
Rev. W. R. Blachford spoke as follows:
1T is customary when an ornament
Is introduced as an adjunct to divine
service, TO set it apart for religious use
with a service of blessing. This flag
before you is gift to Christ church for
choir and professional purposes. We
have caused it to be held by four of
diverse ages, indicating thereby the
various activities of our nation-one a
man of mature years, veteran of the
grand army, representing the past &C
tivities, another, young man about to
enter one of our naval academies, re.
presenting the present activities, a
third youth representing the near
future activities, and the fourth a
juvenile representing the farther
future. This emblem is not a flag. or
some flag, it is the flag, our flag 1t
is the senior of all flags of the great
nations of the world, "a years older
than Englands royal standard in its
present form. 20 syears older than the
flag of Spain; for II years it foated in
the breeze before the tricolor Of France
and 1t saw 93 years of glory before the
flag of the German empire was adopted
The flags of China and japan are
infants compared with our Star
Spsngled Banner. When we look upon
our national emblem, therefore, we take
pride in its years. This particular
piece of fabric we shall now bless and
separate for use in this house of prayer
and msyest thou our flag that has newer
yet stood for anything but liberty and
union. continue as long as time shall
last to lead us on 80 sublime and su
perior mission"
