CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR MISSIONS

A wonderfully useful missionary OBJ

Cleveland, where the special benevo-
lence is in training the young woman
of many nationalities how to live good
and useful lives. Miss Maude E.

work in charge for Florida and will
be glad to tell any kind people, wheth-
, er or not Congregational, of such a
practical way of doing home-mission-

To Be a Big Thing.


Rapid strides are being made to-
ward the organization Of the nation
wide Legion, to which over four mil
lion men are eligible. 1t had its be-
ginning when about a thousand
American soldiers met in Paris on
March 15, 1919, and a committee
was appointed to work with SINH
lar committee in America.
This resulted in q caucus at st.
Louis on May s, and 10, last, in
which practically every state in the
union was represented.
A temporary organization was
formed and a tentative constitution
was drawn UP to permit the state
organizations to proceed and to ap-
point representatives to the first
national convention, to be held at
Minneapolis on November II, 1919,
the anniversary of the signing OF
the armistice.
Those Who Are Eligible.
The following is a copy of the
resolution adopted by the convention
at St. Louis, establishing the quail
fications necessary to membership In
the OrganlatlOn:
"All persons shall be eligible to
membership in this organization who
were in the military or naval service
Of the United States during the
period between April 6, 1917, and
November II, 1918, both dates inclu-
sive, and all persons who served in

the United States during the world
war, provided that they were cid-

ground Of conscientious or political
objections"

on January 5 as follows;
Dear Mother:
have Just received several Of your
letters. the last one dated November

pleasure, as I have had no mail for
some time. The Christmas package
has not arrived yet, but will probably
be here tomorrow when the truck re-

thing we want, but in Germany every
thing is much higher. Chocolate that
we pay 20 cents for would sell here
for about 16 marks, If there was any
to be had. A mark is worth about
16 cents Before the war it was worth
"a cents.

fourteen months we have been in

surrounding country was under fire
from long range guns and was raided
by Boche airplanes. We moved ev-
cry few days in order to follow the
advancing American and French
troops.
Our last move in that offensive was
to Coincy near the Balleu woods,
where the Marines did such hard

flag or nation to which we are hostile
With this sentiment all true Ameri-
cans agree. 1t was singularly proper
that at the time Co. Roosevelt gave
this message to his fellow citizens,
two bills were before congress to de-
clare the display OF the red flag in
this country to be unlawful and to
provide the penalties for its display
or exhibition.
One OF these bills was introduced
in the senate in December by senator
Harry s. New. republican, of Indiana
and the other was introduced in the
house by Representative Henry G.
Osborne. republican. OF California.
Both OF the bills would make it a
criminal offense to display or exhibit
a red flag or banner at any meeting
or gathering held for the purpose OF
governmental, social or religious dis
cussion. and fix penalty of not more
than $4,000 fine or Imprisonment for
not more than five years or both.
The patriotic sentiment Of the coun-
try will come to the support OF
measure which prohibits the Haunting
OF the symbolism of Bolshevikism and
anarchy, and particularly its display
alongside of the Stars and Stripes.
Although both bills were introduced
in ample time to permit of favorable
action upon them by the democratic
committees to which they We're re-
ferred, these committees have not
taken any action in the matter, That
the next Congress which will be re-
publican will enact into law the cub

than sacrilege upon the sacred mem

all on the battle fields of France. If
the war has taught us anything. it
should have taught US to appreciate
and value our American citizenship

regarding the display of the American
flag. we can also legislate as to what
flags shall be displayed with the
American flag. and by the same token
we can legislate as to what flags shall
not be displayed with it. Laws and
regulations concerning the display of
the American flag have always been
regarded as valid, and my bill simply
places further restrictions around the
American flag which We love SO well
and which stands as the emblem OF
our government"
