The Flag
Alvin Owsley says of the flag II
is the full grown flower OF ages OF
fighting for liberty. 1t is the century
plant OF human hope IN bloom. 1t is
not the flag of your king-it is the
flag Of yourself and of all your neigh
bors. Your flag stands for humanity,
for an equal opportunity to all the
sons Of men. OF course, we have not
vet arrived at that goal. but the only
hope of righting the wrongs of men
lies in the feeling produced in our
bosoms by the sight OF that flag,
Other flags wear glorious past, this
flag, glorious future" Woodrow
Wilson said, in similar vein" the
flag speaks with the voice Of the great
past and the mighty present. One may
live for the flag, as we'll as die for the
flag. and for the ideals which it sym
bolizes 1t is living thing and bears
the character we give it from gener-
alton to generation"
