Last Sabbath evening a patriotic service was held in the Methodist, church, the first parade of the soldier boys since recruiting 'began in Brus- sels. There was a large audience, extra seating having to be utilized. The service was inspiring and close fitting in its various parts and con- gregation was deeply interested. Familiar hymns were sung with heartiness such as Onward Christian Soldiers," "Eternal Father strong to 'save;" "God blase our Native Land" and "God Save the King," Special music was well rendered by the choir f the church, their program being :- Anthem, "True to the Flag ;" guar 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. g g 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. Had it been a week evening service applause would no doubt have greeted many of the points made by the speaker. The addrese n.'1 live 1 ] vs for many a day in the memoryyof those who heard, At the close F. 1'1. Gilroy gave 0 short well arranged address in which he referred to the flags of Belgnim, France and Great Btittein and paid tribute to the young then who are en- listing, TttE Pon' hopes to be able to reproduce Mr. Gilroy's address. In concluding he unveiled the Roll of Honor of the young men who have joined the ranks in Bruasels and the pastor performed like service in a Roll of Honor of 18 young men of the Methodist Church who have donned, the Ring's colors, The flags of the Allies were in evidence.
