BANNER WITH 10 STARS PRE-
sENTED IN HONOR OF MEN
WHO HAVE GONE TO ARMY.
DR.. r.. RILEY ACCEPTS FLAG
Presented by Robert Nichols and Miss
Marie MISUNDERSTANDING Music
by Choir and Congregation.

Very impressively. but with
touch of deep sentiment, the congre-
cation of the First Baptist church
dedicated service flag representing
10 men who have gone into the army
or navy of the United States. The
flag was presented by Claud Nichols
and Miss Marie Brownlow. Mr.. Mich
OILS said that the occasion was one OF
both sadness and gladness; sadness
because the men would be missed
from the school, business, social and
church circles, but gladness because
of the realization that they had gone
to defend the noble cause of liberty.
AS he called the roll of men in the
service Miss Marie Brownlow pointed
to the star on the flag representing
each man. The stars were arranged
on the flag in the shape of hour
glass, the center star representing the
pastor, DR.. ]. II. Barber, who is an
army chaplain.
On behalf of the church, DR.. B. F.
Riley, of Birmingham, accepted the
flag, saying that although he was
stranger in this city, as one who
has a son in the army he appreciated
the spirit of the ceremony and what
the flag embodied. He spoke of the
meaning of the colors, red, white and
blue, and made a beautiful talk on
the purposes of the war.
Patriotic and appropriate religious
songs were sung by the choir and the
congregation.
