BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLAG
Glorious Record From January 1e,
1776, to Its Proud Position in
the World in 1919.

The Stars and Stripes was raised
on the heights near Boston on Janu-
airy Is, 1776. and the British troops be-
,lieved it to be evidence of submits
sion to the king. The Betsy Ross
flag, the official flag, came later.
After the declaration Of independ-
ence, July 4, 1776, the first salute to il
was given by the Dutch island of ST.
EustatiOus in the West Indies by JO-
names de Graft, commander Of the
port.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union in 1854 two additional
stars were placed on the field. but
they were discarded after much de-
bate in congress and the original thir-
teen were restored in 1918.
The first flag that flOated over a for
eign and captured fort was at Nassau,
January %, 177S. The first carried
to London was on vessel February 3,
1888. 1t fioated in China in 1884.
1t was carried around the world from
1857 to 1870. The first blood shed I'M
der it was in Ireland in 1870 during a
mob riot over bridge built by Ameri-
can engineers. The first salute to it
given by an English vessel was in May,
1891.
One of NapOleon's generals remark
ed to the illustrious man that senti-
ment had no place in the thought of
a country. Napoleon replied: "Sen-
timent concerns what most enriches
life"

What the Flaq Symbolizes.

In 1777. within a few days of ore
year after the declaration of independ-
Cnce, the congress of the colonies in
the confederated states assembled and
ordained this glorious national fla
and advanced it full high before God
and all men as the flag of liberty.
1t was no holiday flag, gorgeously
emblazOned for gayety or vanity. It
was a solemn national signal When
that banner first unrolled TO the sun.
ii was the symbol of all those holy
truths and purposes which brought to-
gether the colonial American congress
The flag means now all that our IA
theirs meant in the Revolutionary war.
1t means all that the Declaration OF
Independence means. 1t means all
that the Constitution of our people
meant in organizing for justice, for
liberty, for happiness.

The Finding of Old GLORY.

When the day came that our revolu-
tionary fathers needed to design a flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West, in the burning
clouds OF sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol of their own fair dreams, mys-
tic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked. there came a
sudden rending OF the fieecy mass by n
wind of liberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made
they then beheld a patch of azure sky
set thick with silver stars.
The stars-the Stripes-the blue
Old Glory, blazoned in beauty across
the wonder of Gods great heaven, for
all the world TO see. 1t is our flag
God make US worthy of it.-Anne Ran
