THE FLAG OF OUR COUNTRY
Henry Ward eeeehers Eloquent Trib.
ute to the Majesty OF the
Stars and Stripes.

A thoughtful mind, when II sees a
nations flag, sees not the flag only, but
the nation itself, and. whatever may
be Its symbols, its insignia, It reads
chiefly In the flag the government. the
principles, the truths, the history
which belong to the nation that sets
1t forth.
This nation has a banner, and wher-
ever 1t streamed abroad men saw day
break bursting on their eyes, for the
American flag has been the symbol Of
liberty, and men rejoiced In 1t. Not
another flag on the globe has such an
errand or went forth upon the sea car
rying everywhere the world around
such hope for the captive and such
glorious tidiDgs. The stars upon 1t
were to the pining nations like the
morning stars Of God. and the stripes
upon II were the beams of morning
light. And wherever the flag comes
and men behold II they see In its sa-
cred blazonry no rampant lion and
fierce eagle, but only light, and every
fold significant Of liberty.
Let us then twine each thread of the
glorious tissue of our countrys flag
about our heartstrIngs, and, looking
upoA our homes and catching the spirit
that breathes upon us from the battle
fields Of our fathers, let us resolve.
come veal or woe, we will In life and
death stand by the Stars and Stripes.

In few days now the flag would
flutter from the porch. The sky would
seem a bluer blue. the birds sing with
peculiar sweetness. Heaven would
seem pretty close to earth. It would
be Decoration day!

fainter. Every year It had been the
