The one brother decided the British flag the best, the second brother the French .flag the best, the third brother the American flag the best and the fourth brother chose the flag of Jesus Christ that flies over tile Whole wide world. This flag is white representing purity, innocence and peace, With a blue square and a red cross on the blue square, the blue representing faith, truth and sincerity, the scarlet cross sacrifice, service, bravery and love. The brothers decided the Christian flag was the best. It is under this flag that our missionaries have gone forth to preach the gospel to all na­ tions.
