Respect To Tne flag
(By Alvin M. Owsley, Past National
Commander. Used in the Flag ode as
adopted Jnne 14th. 1923, at the Flag
Conference in Washington, D. C.)
When you see the Stars and Stripes
display<\). son, s<k?nd up and take
off your bat. Somebody may titter.
It is in the blood of some to deride
all expression of noble sentiment.
You may blaspheme in the street and
Rtagger drunken in public places, and
the bystanders will not pay much at
tention to you; but if you should get
down on your knees and pray to Al
mighty God on if you should stand
bareheaded while a company of old
soldiers marches by with flags to the
bieeze, some people will think you
are showing off.
But don't you mind! When Old
Glory comes along, salute and let
them think what they please! When
you hear the band play "The Star
Spangled Banner" while you are In a
restaurant or hotel didlng room, get
up even if you rise alone; stand there
ai.d don't be ashamed of it either!
For of 'all the signs and symbols
since the world began there is none
other so full of meaning as the flag
of this country. That piece of red.
v hite and blue bunting means five
thousands years of struggle upward.
It is the full grown flower of Jges
ol fighting for liberty. It is the cen
tury plant of human hope in bloom.
Your flag stands for humanity, fori
.-n equal opportunity to all the sons [
ot men. Of course we haven't arrived ;
yet'at that goal; there are many
i 'ustlces yet among us, many sense.,
1"<8 and pruel customs of the past I
i" ill clinging to us, but the only hone
i righting the wrongs of men lies in
t' p feeling produced In our bosoms
1- th^ sight of that flag. Other flags
? an a glorious past, this flag a glo<
i-us future. It is not so much the
'':g of our fathers as it is the flag i
'' our children, and of all children's!
children yet unborn. It is the flag
ct tomorrow. It is the signal of the
' Good Time Coming." It Is not the
fag of your king?it Is the flag of
: ourself and all of your neighbors.
Don't We ashamed when your throat
rhokes and th< -cars come, as you
see It flying from the masts of our
ships on all the seas, ctr floating from
< very flagstaff of the republic_. You
will never have a wc.thier eirotion.
Keverence It as you would reverence
the signature of your Deity.
Listen, son, the band is playing the
national anthem? The Star Spangl
ed Banner. They have let loose Old
Glory yonder. Stand up and others
wil stand with you his tribute to the
fl*g ja offered to the country la ap
rcal to all men and women of all races
and tongues, that they may

. REVIEW: PAUL'S WORK
The International Uniform Sudijr School lesson for Sept.
SO. Review: Paul the MfMtonary.
rpHE review ot the quarter's les
sons takes us through the lite
ot Paul from his pre-Christian pe
riod as an earnest young Pharisee
intense in his convictions and
roused to persecution in opposi
tion to those ot the strange new
Christian faith, and his own
dramatic conversion to that faith,
down to the period ot.the second
missionary journey and the bring
ing ot Christianity into Europe.
No quarter's lessons have been
more characterlied by vigorous
movement and dramatic quality.
It is unfortunate that Shake
speare was never attracted by
such a theme. We have the
young man standing by and hold
ing the garments of those who
stoned Stephen, protoundly im
pressed by the death of that mar
tyr as he calmly met his tate call
_ lng upon God to forgive his perse
cutors. - v ^K3,'
?* ' Voice ot Accusation
Then in the next act comes the
remarkable experience on the lfty
to Damascus which with Its out
ward accompaniments brought the
voice ot accusation in Panl's inner
consciousness. - jTCljj ,1'1* ?*
Then we have the coming ot
Paul to Jerusalem, the tearon the
part or the disciples ot the one
whom they had known as a perse
cutor, and the courageous cham
pioning ot the new convert by
Barnabas.
- Here t and t there we - have
glimpses ot the dangerous nature
of these new experiences as Paul
is forced to escape from Jerusa
lem and go to his birthplace. Tar
sus. for satety from' persecution.
Hither Barnabas comes in search
ot his new friend, and having
found him introduces nlm to the
disciples at Antloch where the dis
ciples were first called Christians.
Prom Antloch Paul, and Barna
bas start upon their first mission
ary journey, passing through
many strange advent uree before
they returned to the city. Then
we have a human touch In the con
troversy that broke ont between
Paul and Barnabas over the sec
ond missionary journey and the
question about taking John Mark
who had been wlih them on part
ot their first journey.
' Paul seemed to think that John
Mark had left them without cause
and he was strongly opposed to
E _
taking him with them. The con
tention was so sharp that the two
men separated, and. while Bar
nabas and John Mark went on m~
Journey ot their oSrn, Paul with
Bllae as his companion began the
Journey during which he had the
call to Europe/ ?
, 9 Tragic Chapters
The Macedonian call brought
Paul into n?* scenes and in
evitably emphasized the ministry
ot the Gospel to ' the Gentiles.
Here Paul came Id contact with
Greek culture and with paganism.
But the tragic happenings, that
befell him had to do more with
the' conflicts ot the Gospel as It'
came in collision with the' selfish
purposes ot unscrupulous people.
The cry that Paul was unpa
triotic in teaching customs that 1(
was not lawful for Romans to ob-.
serve and that he was perverting
the religion w hich the people gen
erally professed led to Paul's ac
cusation and imprisonment. But
this Imprisonment has given ta
the world the remarkable etory
ot the Phlllpplan jailer with Its
striking illustration of the way in
which men become conscious ot
their-need of salvation under the
ministry ot Paul and the clear
ness with which he presented the
possibility ot salvation In. Christ
Jesus. 9
