tain colonies were subjected to
others; there were the French and
Indian Wars; and before long, flags
of only two nations were flying in
America-those of England and
Spain. There was still the ancient
English Cross of st. George and one
other English flag indicating the
union of England and Scotland in
1903 under James l, blue banner
bearing a white diagonal Scottish
Cross of St. Andrew on which was
overlaid the red Cross of st. George.
This was later called the Union
jack" and largely used in all the
colonies until 1776. Mr.. johnson
pointed out the colors of the "Un-
ion Jack" red, white and blue, as
the colors of the Stars and Stripes.
In the extreme south and far west
there was still the red and gold
Spanish flag of the united kingdom
of Leon and CASTLE.
OF the numerous flags of the Brit
ish colonies certain ones received
especial mention, the Pine Tree
flags, used chiefly by the New Eng
land colonies. One was a white
flag with green tree in the center,
a rattlesnake coiled about the base
of the tree, and two legends "An
Appeal to Cod at the top and
Don't Tread on Me" under the
snake. (Benjamin Franklin is said
to have suggested the serpent en-
blem.)
Other famous banners were: The
South Carolina crescent flag, which
flew over Fort Sullivan at Charles
ton, June 2S, 1916. The Connecti-
cut. "Qui Transtulit Sustinet" flag.

FRED JOHNSON ADDRESSES
ROTARIANS-S
AMERICAN FLAGS

The NJ. & NJ Rotary members
were hosts to their Rotary AIMS
and several guests at most enjoy
able party at the Malta M. e
church on last Friday evening. Din
ner was served at $50 o'clock in
the church dining room by the NAL
ia hotel and the three long tables
were attractive and beautiful with
artistic arrangements of spring
flowers. Harry Betz, with Mrs
Glenn Tennell as accompanist, led
the group singing between courses
Rotary President, Hugh James Don
ahue, graciously welcomed the
guests and ably conducted the usual
club business. Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Giles We're presented as recent
members.
j. A. Hambleton introduced the
speaker of the evening, Past Rotary
Governor Fred Johnson, and his
son, Robert Johnson, who acted as
assistant, displaying the sc flags
that have flown over the United
States of America, as his father
gave the historical background of
each. The flags were authentic and
beautifully made, being the clever
handwork of Mrs. Johnson and
added much to Mr.. Johnsons fine
lecture.
Today's flags, as we know them,
have many centuries of historical
development behind them. Long
ago tribes needed some token car
ried aloft on top of a pole to dis
Inn Jich han,c0Ixync haV
tribes. AS Latin students we read
of the aquila or eagle standard
which ancient Roman legions car
ried in time of battle. At first,
these banners hung from horizontal
crossbars; later they were attached
to the side of a staff, making a fly
ing flag.
In 1886, there rewe no less than
five national flags flying in Amer
ica-Spanish, French, English
Swedish, and the flag of the Neither
lands. Christopher Columbus had
flown Spanish flag at the mast
head Of the Santa Maria; other
Spanish explorers, notably Ponce de
Leon and de Sofa. had carried the
red, gold and white flag of Leon
and CASTLE far island.
In 1497, John Cabot had
brought to Newfoundland, the ia
nous and ancient English crusad-
ing banner of the lion-hearted
Richard-a white flag with the red
cross of ST. George nearly covering
it.
1t is supposed that Verrazano
first brought the French flag in
1924. The French flag then was a
banner of blue bearing three golden
fieur de lys. Certainly it came ten
years later, borne by Cartier.
In 1909 Henry Hudson brought
at the mast of his ship, the Half
Moon, the flag of the Netherlands,
banner of three horizontal stripes,
one orange, one blue and one white
In the center of the white or middle
stripe were the initials of the Unit
ed East India Company of Amster-
dam.
Then, in 1886, the Swedish flag.
a blue banner spanned by a great
Golden cross. was brought to the
Delaware River Colony of New
Sweden.
The five flags did not fly long
over their respective colonies. Ger

thus saying thou reproaches us
Also" Because the lawyers were
akin to the Pharisees in spirit and
belief, this lawyer felt that Christ's
criticism of the Pharisees hit the
lawyers also. The exposure of sin
produces self-accusation.
V. As. "And he said, Woe unto
you also, ye lawyers, for We lade
men with burdens grieyous to be
borne, and We yourselves touch not
the burdens with one of your fin
gers" Their numerous regulations
based upon oral traditions had be-
come a grievous burden; these reg
ulations became handicap TO
clean and righteous living; not the
least attempt was made to remove
such handicaps.
VS.. Al, 48. "Woe unto! for ye
build the sepulchers of the prophets
and your fathers killed them. Truly
We bear witness that ye allow the
deeds of your fathers; for they in
deed killed them, and We build their
sepnlchers." They made it appear
they were righteous in honoring
the dead prophets with the building
of monuments in their honor while
at the same time they were in the
same class with their fathers who
killed these prophets: for they
were at this very moment planning
to get rid Of the Great Prophet, Je-
suS.
V. So. "Woe unto you lawyers.
for ye have taken away the key of
knowledge; We entered not in your
selves, and them that were entering
In ye hindered. In the misplaced
emphasis on external things the
true interpretations Of the scrip
lures had been neglected Nothing
is more tragic than a religious
teacher failing to do his best in
helpful, practical, interpretations of
the word.
VS.. So, 54. "And as he said these
things unto them. the scribes and
Pharisees began to urge vehement
ly laying wait for him, seeking to
catch him." When sin condemns
man he either repents or becames
greater sinner

highly important as symbol OF un-
ion Of the 13 colonies. The Stars
and Stripes was not designed until
fully year and half later. On
July A, 1916, the Grand Union Off
cially became our national flag ON

On Saturday, June IA, 17r1. he
Continental Congress, in session at
Philadelphia, entered this resolu-
tion in it's records. Resolved: That
the flag of the 13 United States be
13 stripes, alternate red and white;
that the Union be 13 stars, white in
a blue field, representing new con-
stellation." (John Adams is sup
posed to be the author and John
Hancock was president of Continen-
tai Congress-.
AS new states were added, the
flag was obliged to expand to rep
resent them in some way. In 1875
the stars and stripes in the national
banner was increased to Is each.
1t is interesting to know that it was
a Star-Spangled Banner of Is stars

April 9, 1913. President Monroe
signed "A Bill to Establish the Flag
of the United States" The 13 orig
inal stripes in memory of the 13
original colonies were to be retain
ed, and the number of stars in the
canton were to be increased as
states were added to the Union.
AS Past Rotary Governor, Fred
Johnson, closed his very fine patri-
otic talk, our Flag of the United
States of America" f1uttered in the
breeze, by means of an electric cur
rent and it was with more love,
pride and respect that We, in our
hearts, pledged anew our allegiance.
Mr.. Johnson and his son, Robert,
received rounds of applause from
their most appreciative audience
and many hopes were expressed
that they would again return to
Malta and McConne1sville, and that
more people might have an oppor-
tunity to enjoy this educational
talk. 1 count myself most fortu-
nate in being guest on this par

Growing Tension with False
Leaders, Luke 11:37-52, for Sun
day, April 19.
Opposition to Jesus was now
growing rapidly and many at
tempts were made to catch him, the
lesson of today being one OF them
v. 81. "And as he spake, GER
tain Pharisee besought him to dine
with him; and he went in and sat
down to meat" Jesus did not de-
cline the invitation from one who
would do him harm but rather ac-
cepted the invitation as an oppor-
tunity to good.
v. 38. when the Pharisee saw
it, he marvelled that he had not
first washed before dinner" Hand
washing before eating was such a
strict oral law that it took preced-
ence to written law-the moral law
of the scriptures. We must learn
to make first things first.
". 80. "And the Lord said unto
him, Now do ye Pharisees make
clean the outside of the platter; but
your inward part in full of ravenous
and wickedness." Jesus courageous
ly went to the heart of the matter.
A clean life is of greater import
ance than clean conduct; a clean
life will naturally express itself in
clean living.
v. 40. "Ye fools, did not he that
made that which is without make
that which is within also?" He
who made our bodies also made our
souls and both need to be kept
clean.
". Al. "But rather give aims of
such things as We have; and behold,
all things are clean unto you." All
the almsgiving could not atone for
the Pharisees' evil hearts and lives.
v. AZ. But woe unto you Phar-
isees! For We tithe mint and rue
and all manner of herbs, and pass
over Judgment and the love of God.
These ought ye to have done, and
not leave the other undone." Je-
sus denounced sham in benevo-
lences as exhibited in herb-tithing,
for they performed microscopic
duties while they brazenly negelct-
ed the weightier matters.
v. 43. "Woe unto you Phar-
isees! For ye love the uppermost
seats in the synagogues, and greet
ings in the markets" They desir-
ed positions of honor and sought
words of praise and titles of honor.
Some ministers think a d. D. is of
prime importance. Laymen stress
college degrees above experience
and natural ability.
v. "A. "Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees. hypocrites! for ye
are as graves which appear not,
and the men that walk over them
are not aware of them" Jesus did
not mince words when he said hy"o-
critics. They were like unmarked
graves in that within them there
was unsuspected corruption.
v. As. "Then answered one of
the lawyers, and said unto him,
