NO FLAGS ON
MAIN STREET
Lack Of Patriotic Display Draws Com
ments and Suggestions from
Citizens and Visitors.
Here.

It has been frequently remarked
that the number of flags displayed on
Main street is appallingly small. Many
guesses have been made as to the rea-
son for the apparent lack of patriotim.
The one reason advanced by the great
est number of people is that the flags
get dirty too quickly in the smoky at
atmosphere. The smoke and SCOT Is
worse this year than usual owing to
the poor quality of coal that comes into
the local bins and it has been very
difficult task to keep the flags clean.
A suggestion has been made that the
flags be displayed in the windows in
stead OF flung from the flag staff as
was the custom heretofore. The flags
can be kept clean in this war and can
be made much more effective. Serv-
ice flags and Red Cross flags are hung
in the windows and there Is plenty OF
room for the Stars and Stripes.

Lifting of Quarantine Brings Crowds
out to Churches Once More
Two Meetings at Chris
tian Church.

| The attendance at the First Chris
tan church on Sunday was very great
| ly increased, owing to the lifting OF the
quarantine. All the church schooi
classes were back in usual attendance.
Rev. Bacon preached two most excei-
lent sermons. In connection with the
evening service two films of very inter
estine scenic events We're SHOWN, 10
the delight of tn audience.
The forenoon sermon was on tHe
subject of who is the Real Innoel.
Rev. Mr.. Bacon discussed the origin
and derivation of this term to the ell
feet that the one is the greatest lnnoel
who is unfaithful. that one could be I'M
faithful in deeds as well as words ana
that one who had no settled habit anu
plan of life was much given TO ntlul
starts of good behaviour and 1ntermil-
tent LOYALTY. An infidel does not put
his faith into deeds.
The forms of infidelity prevalent to-
day are failure to attend church, Iach
of LOYALTY to the church, lack OF sup
mort OF the church and its Work, Iali-
ure to pray and study the word or GOD
and to manifest in daily walks OF He
the spirit of the Master.
The effects of modern in1delity are
that the members OF the church are
very poor witnesses before the world.
All the assets OF enthusiasm is miss
ing from its services, the efficiency OF
the church is destroyed, as well as the
efficiency of its members.
The speaker then called attention by
example to the fact that such as Glad

Bryan and Wilson were and are deyout

the church service. The normal chris
tan misses the highest joys OF 1aith
