Milford chronicle., 1925-05-29

The decorating committee of the
! church must have spent several
hours in placing the flags and flow
ers. Several huge American flags
adorned the pulpit, walls and ceiling.
The flags in the pulpit were augu-
mented by the silk parade flag of the
American Legion and other flags of
! the Maccabees. The procession
which numbered nearly one hun
dred, headed by the Jr. o. U. A. NJ,
P. o. S. of A, Review No. of Mac
cabees and the Patriotic Order of
America, moved right off on time
from their various headquarters on
| Commerce street, Harrington Post
No. Z, American Legion, with State
Commander Crothers and State
Chairman Holmes present, brought
up the rear. The parade met the G.
A. r. veterans at the church. They
opened ranks, the rear of the line
entering the church first, passing
beneath the folds of a large Ameri-
can flag, unfurled to the breeze at
the entrance.
Rev. F. A. Lindhorst, director of
Religious Education, of the NJ. E.
Conference, and a former U. S. Army
Chaplain, opened the service with a
salute to the flag and by having the
congregation repeat in concert the
allegience to the Christian Flag.
Comrade Holmes, state chairman of
the Legion Endowment Fund Cam
paign, was next introduced. He was
allowed ten minutes and used eight |
speaking briefly about the plans for !
raising Delaware's quota of $4,000 |
this week.
Rev. E. H. Collins of the M. E.
Church had prepared a special ser
mon for the occasion, but due to the
lateness Of the hour, he gave out
his text and spoke briefly on the
subject selecting the most important
parts of his sermon. Rev. F. A. Lind
horst then made the closing remarks
and the service came to an end with
the hymn, "God Be With You Till
We Meet Again"
