BIG CROWD VISITED
 MoHEGAN PARK SUNDAY
Improvements Under Way-Additiens
 to the Deer Family.

Between 500 and 500 visited Mohe- gan park on Sunday which is consid- cred by park officials a very large crowd for the park considering that t there was no special attraction on
 The deer family has been added and there has been some other additions but it is planned to keep the stock down this year owing 10 the high price of feed. The duck family has the most noticeable increase but the wild ducks have not done so well this spring as only one egg matched out of the first matching.
 Superintendent Duff has a gang Of men at work on the construction of a footpatn from the Washington Street entrance to the lake which was started last year and about 2,060 to 5000 feet finished. When this path Is finish ed it will afford one of the beautiful walks in the park. It is expected that about the same number of feet as was finished last year will be finished this year
 The band stand has been covered over with a shingfed roof with . sounding board underneath.
 The beautiful rose bushes planted in various sections of the park are just about to bloom and were very noticea- ble Sunday. So noticeable that some one stripped one bush entirely. The park officials find it quite discouraging in spending so much time in the care of these bushes only to have some one steal the roses.

1 to expect loyalty from it's subjects. In return for it's protection and guaran tees of favor it has right to demand support and obedience. On the other hand, the flag of country stands not only for it's government but for it's history, it's principles and the mora rights and liberties of it's people. And thus we come to see that there are diff ferences even in loyalty. that there are higher and lower royalties and that there are times when, in obedience to higher loyalty, we are bound to re- ject with loathing a lower. For exam : pie. in all ordinary circumstances we have a duty of loyalty to our parents, but there comes a tii-se when in defer ence to higher loyalty, such as loy- atty to the dictates of conscience or our religion, We are bound to rcsee< with scorn an evil suggestion or com mand. even though it may be that of a father or mother. So it is in matters of state country Patriotism is in essence love of country. It Is a pas sionate attachment to it's prineip. es it's miliar surroundings under which we have known life's joys and experiences from our earliest days.
 Our patriotism at it's best demands that our countrys principles, instttu- tiens and government shall conform to our enlightened sense of right and wrong AS we trace this eKternal moral evolution, we find that its whole
 
 ism and aaitocracy and towards democ- racy, away from government by an in dividuaI or clique and towards govern nent of the people by the people for the people.
 The consent of the governed to in- disputes are as necessary for the wei fare of nations as for that of indi- viduals Thus we have code of in ternationaI laws which no nation may T fic-n opd rrrSr h ishment of all the rest.
 This evolution is of God. It rep resents the state of progress and moral enlightenment into which God has been able to lead and bring the world. Now it shows that the Lords side is the side of democracy, of freedom, or jus tice, of humanity and mercy. That, moreover. is the verdict of history as interpreted by the nations of the world as evidenced by their open or yelled hostility to Germany and her allies In a word, the verdict of history thus interpreted means that the Teutonie nations are fighting against God. If this reasoning and these conclusions are true and right, 1t follows that the flag of the United States Is the symbol not merely of democracy but of the Lords side. As such, the nations flag deserves a prominent place in every church in the land. Alongside of this flag We have chosen to place in our own church the flag of our beloved state, believing that it's motto selected by God d-fearing men will ever be an inspiring word to those who worship. He who brought Us over sustains us" May God give us al a like faith and a like fidelity. May our patriotism ever link itself with the Lords will and the Lord s side
 The offering of the morning was given to the Red Cross. The offering amounted to s21.6S The Battle Hymn of the Republic was sung in closing.

THE FLAG AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS
Stirring Address by Archdeacon J. Elred Brown Patriotic Service-Tnnity Episcopal Church Dedicated Two Flags Sunday Morning

In accordance with the spirit of the | times, a patriotic service and flag ded- l ication was held in Trinity Episcopal church Sunday morning. The church ] was filled to capacity with a patriotic congregation who united in singing America as the opening hymn. The dedication of two large silk flags, one the flag of the state of Connecticut and the other that of the United States, followed the singing of the hymn. Arehdeacon J. Eldred Brown, the rector, after the dedication prayer,
 glory of God with the following dedi-
 cation sentence:
 Forasmuch as Almighty God hath
 been graciously pleased in all ages to
 willingly offered of their substance, and nothing doubling but that He favora bly alloweth this charitable work of ours
 in setting apart these flags to His ser
 of this parish, accept the offering and
 dedicate these flags to the holy and eternal trinity, Father. Son and Holy Ghost, and to the service and welfare of our beloved country. Amen.
 The congregation rose ana sang The
 Star Spangled Banner, after which Rev. Mir. Brown gave a patriotic and stirring address.
 Rev. MT. Brown said in part: The
 flag of a nation stands, first, for the nations sovereignty or jurisdiction. It is a symbol of it's power or authority. Flying alOft at an army post or a naval station, for example, the flag signifies that the army or navy owns allegiance to the country whose flag 1t flies. Similarly, a flag flying over the executive building or offices of a de- pendent country is meant to indicate that that country is dependent on the natian represented by th3 particular flag. If one were to visit the execu- tive offices in Manila or Porto Rico, one would know at once that the Phil ippine Islands and Porto Rico were under the jurisdiction of the Un1ed States. Thus the flag is a symbol of the government of a country that which has authority over the inha bit ants. that to which they owe obedi- ence. But government implies power to restrain and control it's subjects or citizens. It implies law and force. And so the flag stands for force, for that power which stands behind law and statute to see that they are enforced and obeyed. As representing tho gov decrees. the flag demands reverence and respect. To show disrespect to the flag is to show disrespect to the government of the country it repre- sents. Thus the flag appeals to cur founda tien of patriotism.
 The government demands certain things of it's subjects in order to make sure that they shall receive it's pro- lection and benefits. While it has the power and force to compel refractory citizens to obey it's iaws suffer cer- tain penalties for disebedience. it has not sufficient power to restrain and punish when disobedience or rebellion becomes anniversary. In that case there is a revolution and the government is overthrown. It is evident then that the foundation of patriotism is loyalty. Ordinarily a government has a right

Y. N. c. 4. HOLDS FIRST
 OPEN AIR MEETING.
General Secretary Hill Spoke on Faith
 and Purpose.

The first of series of open air meetings was held at , D. m. Sunday on the grounds of the Buckingham Me morial under the auspices of the local !. NJ. C. A.
 Several popular hymns were sung, the organ and Robert Johnson on the cornet Hugh Kinder rendered vocal solos which were greatly enjoyed.
 Secretary Hill was the speaker and selected for his topic Faith and Pur pose. He said in part: Faith and pur pose are twin virtues and twin powers. Usually the man who has strc~ purpose has a strong faith. In these awful days we need to have a faith that abides. A man must have faith in himself and he must believe that God has placed him in this world for a definite purpose. Then a man must believe in others. I pity the man who has lost faith in his fellow men. Down deep in even the blackest heart there is at IeastNa spark of manhood and we who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ should strive to kindle this spake into a flame. We must have strong faith in our own America and we must believe that the Almighty has a big purpose for her among the ma tions of the world.
 I believe this purpose is that under God our country shall lead the other nations and up to God While it is necessary that we have faith in our country, our greatest need is to have faith in God. Indeed this is the foun- dation for the others.
 If we go forward in this faith we will one day be more than conquerors through Him who loves us.
 These meetings will be held each at o'clock, and the public is invited
