tette, "March boldly on ;" solo, "My
Ain Countrie," Miss Lizzie Downing ;
and anthem "Our Oomradee."
Rev. Mr, Wren's subject was "'We'll
never let the old flag fall" and was
based on Psalm 20 and 5. "In the
name of our God we will set up our
banner." He said in part :-This the
watchword of the Jewish patriots ie'a
fitting one for as in this time of stress.
In olden times the flag was set up as
an expression of a people's patriotism
but afterward it meant to reveal the
Nation's purpose and finally it became
the embodiment of the Nation's ideal.
The speaker very clearly points out
the ideal embodied in the flag of old
England, viz Freedom, Righteousness
and Fair Play. Going back to the
6th century, to the home of the Angle
and the Saxon, on the shores of the
Baltic, at the mouth of the river Elbe,
he traced the history of the Anglo
Saxon race. In their migration in
449 to form the new Engle land in our
now England. Here was brought the
political ideal of democratic self-
government which finally conquered
and suppressed Roman autocracy, ab-
soluteism and militarism. Though the
15 centuries that have come and gone
the idea of social Justice, liberty of
conscience, the right of a common
man to a man's chance and the just
reward of a man's work have been
developed until we find in our British
ideal of self-government to -day a rule
by the people and for the people
gathering strength with the passing
years. These few islands, only big
enough for a fishing station, have be-
come the Mistress of the world. Sud-
denly she has risen to do the biggest
thing in her history for the cause of
Right. She has reared her banner in
a righteous cause and "We'll never
let the old flag fall."
The P speaker pointed some
ted out a e
P
thins fax which the flag stood
to -day.

1. To set up our banner in the
name of God, means we ate willing to
contend for the solidarity, integrity
and unity of the Empire. We have a
wonderful diversity of peoples, differ-
ent in creed, races, climates, customs,
but we are one, not united by force
or military persuasion, but of affection
and love, making one of the greatest
bulwarksagainst wrong in the world.
2. The flag says we contend r
y fo
Freedom, Britain has fought,
evou
from earliest history, for constitution-
al liberty, in the interests of demo-
cracy, for freedom of speech, of press,
of conscience, of the individual which
has meant emancipation for the race.
Fought the struggles that the Liberty
and freedom of smaller states may
ensured.
3. The flag says we contend for
Justice. We do not claim infallability
but heart of Empire has always been
enlisted in cause of right. In British
court a loan gets Justice.
4. The flag says i'
we
ate willing to
Sacrifice. It stands forlint is '
C st maty.
The heart of the Empire is governed
by Christian teaching and morality.
5. We set up our banner because
Christianity, the teachings of Jesus
have been rejected. If not openly yet
tacitly by the heeds of Germany, who
praise the wax maker, rather than the
Peacemaker, Who worship Neitche
rather titan the Christ. If these
principles are worth living for then
they are worth fighting for, and if
need be, dying for. Democracy must
triumph. The kingdoms of this world
must become the kingdoms of our
Lord and his Christ and he must reign
forever and ever.
