“A Standard for the People
National Day of Prayer in Trivitt Church
“The Union Jack” the standard
of the people of the British Isles,
was the subjeer of a patriotic ser
mon in the Trivitt Memorial church
Sunday morning in connection with
the Empire Day of Prayer. The
church was beautifully decorated
with flags and proceeding the choir
in the processional at the opening
of the service three lads carried the
Union Jack, the Canadian flag and
the Anglican Church flag which were
deposited at the altar. A full choir
led the service of song. There was
a large attendance at the service.
The Rector, Rev. 31. A. Hunt, de
livered a most impressive sermon

Britannia summons them to help in
her sore need.
They may differ in color, in lang
uage, in religion, in place of abode,
in race, but they are all one in their
love for, and fidelity to the British
Crown, and are determined to fight
on till the Prussian gospel of force
and violence and the Prussian ideal
of absolution is smashed utterly and
completely. They realize that this
awful world struggle is being waged
by the Empire and her Allies, to
save Europe from slavery, oppres-
ion and despotism, and to secure to
the nations of the European Contin
ent their rights and liberties, to
prevent a relapse into mediaeval
tyranny, and the retardation of ci
vilization; that the battle is one ofi
right against might and that the
cause we are fighting for is a just
one.
Yes, the dear old flag has a good
deal to say to us, if we lend an at
tentive ear to its messages, and
meditate on the significance of the
various parts that compose it, and
the historical, traditional, and na
tional memories that are associated
with its story, through the centuries
during which the flag of England
the flag of England and Scotland,
the flag of England, Scotland and

British Empire, it has braved the

look to your health!
In the rush of daily affairs don’t
neglect your body. If you have
rheumatic, lumbago or neuritic
pains, frequent headaches, sour
stomach—more than likely you are
neglecting to keep your body free of
poisonous waste, your blood of

Don’t neglect this important mat

"little daily dose” of Kruschen
Salts. Millions throughout the
Empire take Kruschen every morn

Kruschen contains—not one or
two, but several highly refined
specially selected mineral salts. In
combination these salts make a
mass attack on these ailments that
keep you away from work and take
the joy out of life.
So get a bottle of Kruschen and
use it. Just what you can put on a
dime—every morning. Then you be

it for awhile. You’ll see what is
meant by that priceless million-

The Formation of the Flag
You all know, doubtless, how the
Union Jack is comprised so as to
represent the three countries.
The original Jack was, as I have
said, a white flag with a red cross
on it, the cross of St. George, of
Cappadocia, the redresser of wrongs,
the protector of women, the model
of Christian chivalry.
Then in 160 6, three years after
the union of the Scottish with the
English Crown, the cross of St.
George was blended with the white
diagonal cross on a blue ground of
St. Andrew, the patron saint of
Scotland; that was the first Union
Jack.
With the union of Great Britain
and Ireland on January, 1st, 1801,
came the final addition to our flag

Patrick, the patron saint of Ire

Of What It Speaks
The Union Jack speaks to
the great Englishmen, Scotchmen
and Irishmen of the past, the states
men, warriors, sailors, poets, histor
ians, painters, musicians, scientists,
philosophers and divines, foremost
in their respective spheres of action,
the admiration of the recurring cen
turies.
The deathless ones, who shine afar
in actors, in art, in song. Who by
tongue and pen and sword, by inven
tive brains and active hands, and in
domitable energy and adventurous
daring, have extended the bounds
of his Majesty’s Dominions, and
built upon the firm foundation of
civil liberty, religious toleration,
constitutional government, and im
partial law, the grandest Empire the
world has ever seen.
The flag speaks to us of freedom,
cizilization, enlightenment of the in
alienable right of every British sub
ject to security of person and pro
perty, to protection from tyranny,
oppression, injustice and wrong.
The Union Jack speaks to us of
three great nations, once divided,
but now one, united in their com
mon loyalty to King and Empire.
Yes. and not only speaks of theiu
unity but of the unity of all sub
jects of our King
over wherever the
old England floats.
Yes, one thing
brought home to us forcibly during
the course of this present war is
the unity of the Empire, of which
unity the Union Jack is the outward
visible sign and symbol.
{’he Response to Awns
In our own country we are thrill-,
ed with enthusiastic delight over
the noble response which Canada is
making to the call to arms. She is
training thousands of her sons and
sending them to the seat of war, and
our hearts swell with pride as we
read of their splendid achievements
in the air, and on the battlefields.

It speaks to us of our
Christianity, the blessed religion of
Jesus Christ, the influence of which
on the hearts and minds of Britons
has made the British Empire what

glory of the Empire and the secret
of its greatness.
Now how does the Union Jack
speak to us of our common Christ
ianity*? Look at the flag? What is
the original, the most prominent,
the central figure emblazoned on it?
Is it not the Cross?
We call it the Cross of St. George,
but it is not the cross on which St.
George was crucified, for St. George
was decapitated.
No, it is the cross which St. George
had emblazoned on his shield as a
Christian soldier, the cross which
was afterwards embroidered on the
uniform and emblazoned on
shields of the Crusaders.
It is the radiant cross that appear

Look at the flag again. Is there
no significance in its color, in the
red, white and blue immortalized in
song. Does not the red symbolize
the precious blood of Him who died
for us on Calvary?
Is not the white emblematic of the
cleansing effiacy of that blood that
washes sinful souls (whiter than1
snow.)
Does not the celestial blue on
which the crosses stand tell us of
that Heaven which by His vicarious
sacrificed death, on the cross He has
opened to all believers.
The love of country is a very na
tural emotion of the heart which

transfigured into a Christian grace,
If we are to serve our nations we

and sober lives, by surrendering our
selves to Almighty God.
Both in the Bible and in history
we see that the greatest heroes in
the world have been God’s heroes;
the greatest soldiers as a rule, have
been the soldiers of the cross.
It is your part and mine, to make
