the Afterncon--Nanes Com
prising Honor Roll. (
Blessing of a large Service Flag, |
78 stars, representing the
men who have gone forth from the
parish Of the church Of Our Lady OF
the Gulf, was blessed and formally de-
dicated Sunday afternoon in the
portico of the church, and in the
presence of a large number of peo-
pie who had assembled to witness the
ceremony.
After the exercises the flag was
carried within the church by the pas
tor, Rev. J. A. GmeIch, who person
ally suspended it aloft and against
one Of the large windows OF the edi-
ice, where, from its position, the
light against it from without shows it
70 advantage.
Hon. E. j. Gex delivered the adj
dress of the afternoon, which
was able, lofty and patriotic and
found lodgment in the minds and
hearts of those who heard it. 1t was
expressive and found response in the
spirit Of all present. There was hard
~ a dry eye TO be seen. The occa-
sion was indeed a solemn one. 1t
carried with it much feeling by those
present for the seventy-odd men who
had LETT home, relatives, friends and
severed home ties that were dear TO
them to serve their country, to fight
for its flag, and, if needs be, to lay
down their lives for their fellow
men and fer the safety Of genera
tions yet unborn. What greater love
hath man?
At the conclusion of the address,
Mr.. Gex then read the following roll,
q copy Of which has been inscribed,
framed and placed within the church,
and, as will be noted, several names
have been added since, stars repre-
senting these to be added to the flag
and honor roll in the near future. The
