THE STORY OF GOLD

GLORY" THE FLAG WE LOVE.
You have read about the birth of this
great nation,
Of how our heroes fought and bled
and died;
But have you e'er been told the tale
that ne'er grows old,
The hist'ry of our flag so glori.
fled?
Then listen, and I'll tell it now to
you,
The story of the old Red. White and
Blue:
The Angels up in Heaven took a
fleecy cloud of white,
And fashioned it into banner
fair,
Then striped it with the crimson
of the dawn's external light,
With just bit of sky to hold the
stars a-gleaming there;
Then with their wings they famed it
till its spangled folds unfurled
In radiant splendor DER the throne
above,
Then God Almighty blessed it as He
gave it to the world,
That's the story of "Old Glory"
the flag we love.
There's no other flag with such a
holy mission,
No other banner given work so
grand;
To wave DER land and sea, proclaim
ing Liberty,
The starry emblem of Gods chosen
land!
The banner of the loyal tried and
true,
The flag we love, the old Red, White
and Blue.

playing with the military band. When
the Canadians became hard pressed at
Vimy Ridge, all able bodied musicians
were ordered to the trenches and Mr.,
Quigley went over the top. In answer
to an inquiry as to how one feels when
facing great danger, he said: "Well,
we are led up to the front trenches by
degrees and when the final command
comes to go over the top, you may
have . little sense of fear, but you
look at the fellow next to you and you
say to yourself, I'll show him there's
no yellow in me- and he probably looks
at me and says the same thing him

does not kill one outright, it affects
people differently. Some become cpl
leptics, others have serious lung trou-
BILE, some 60 blind, others have hard

partially or totally paralyzed, while
