History ean bestow upan the soldier no greater and no her ecemijum than that of Defender of the Flag. Proud of Defenders of Flag. The Catholic Service Flag as well as thousands of similar flags throughout the land, shows that we as Catho- lies and as citizens are wide awake and fuily'alive to the needs of the d: Saint Andrew’s Catholic parish ‘and the town eof Colchester ~are justly proud _of the loyal and brave *De- fenders of the Flag," who have gone forta frem here and who stand second 40 none threyghout this vast country, in patriotism, courage and -Tesolve to do their “bit” to earry this wonder- ful emblem of democracy “over the rtop,” on threugh glorious victory to permanent workl peace. And what' 1s true of the boys of Saint Andrew’s parish, is true of every other Cathelie parish in these Upited States. As Christian Soldiers. Our boys, and the boys of some of you here present have been summoned to enter the ranks to fight as Chris- tian soldiers for a Christian cause. The houyp of trial is at hand. They, as we, are on their mettle, as Christians as well as patriots. We all are resolved to perferm our duty 2nd say with the ancient warriors of the Cross, “God wills it." Let patriotic lovalty with a capacity great enoush for any sacri- fice be bur slogan. That is the kind of men and women our country needs; men who are ready to stake.all for the common good. But in all this Jet our motive be nable; justice temper- ed with merey. It is with such motives that ths $oung men of this parish, whose mem. ory is designated by the stars on this flag, have broken all home ties: bade farewell to father, mother, sisters, brothers and friends; given up their peaceful pursuits, aims and ambitions of life to endure the rigors, hardships and dangers of camp life at home and in the trenghes abroad. And because of these motives do we invake heaven’s choicest benedic- -ition ypon the flag today, upen those whem its hlue stars indicate, and rep- resent. And as we bless and dedicate this flag and display it high abeve our parish grounds, may the sight of it waving majectically in the breezes stimulate our patriotic spirit of sae- rifice for them and the cause f which they are willing to give th priceless human lives, Each time we gaze aloft and hehold its starrv center may we breathe a silent prayer for their moral and physical welfar 8o that they and all the boys of every other denomination and ereed from the town of Colchester, may go clean over the top and “over the top” clean, soon to return to our midst with the laureis and elive branch of victory and peace; a credit to their country, a eredit to their town, an honor ta their church and a blessing to their families. Praise Fer Non-Catholics. And last but not lease, while we are proud of our record thus far accom- plished, and while we already sing the praises of our own and revel in the hopes we place in them, let us never for A moment appear selfish or vainly egotistical to the exclusion of the thousands and thousands of neble men and women, not of our religious union. who are giving a splendid and most re- markable account of themselves to a degree that arouses admiration and offers inspiration to us not te be out- classed or outdone by the neble spirit that animates them to give and do their noble share, equally as much are we are giving, to upheld the grand and blessed traditions of our happy and prosperous country and win for it the best and highest crown of glory. We pray for them all. God bless them all; God protect them all, God strengthen them and lead them on, the faithful com-patriots of cur own hoys, friends and eemrades, without class or distinc- tion, that all united: all for one and one for all, may bring home the battle flags of Victory, and in the end live to enjoy the reward of the whole | American nation, a via:_ fo, | tion, was alse 2 speaker.

Bishop Nilan’s Letter Read from St. Patrick’s Pulpit at Sunday's Masses. Giving an impetus to Red Cross week, -there was read from the pulpit of St. Patrick's ehurch Sunday a eir- cular letter from Rt. Rev. Jehn J. Nilan, bishop of Hartford diocese, whieh said in.substance; The president of the United States has proclaimed the week beginning May 20 as Red Cross week, to raise a second Red Cross war fund of one hundred million dollars. The previous Supday, May 19, has been designated as Red Cross Sunday. On that day all the clergymen of' the country are expected to address their people on the ‘work and needs of the American Red Cross so that the message given by the churches may move the people of the entire nation to unite in a suc- cessful campaign for the funds neces- sary to carry on the humanitarian Zork of our great national organiza- on, The details of the many activities of the American Red Cross both at home and abroad may be read in the public press, but the spoken word of the pastor to his people will place the necessity of co-operation in a clearer light and will effect more generous effort in this Christian work of mercy. The churches have not been asked to take up a collection. It ie the desire of the officers of the organization to have all contributions made directly to ths committee appointed to ap- proach eaeh individual. Kindly exhort your parishioners to be ready to give ns freely as possible to those who have been requested to call on them. In the pulpit and out of it impress upon the members of your flock the magnitude of the task and the liberality it de- mands. Let each measure the extent of his generosity only by his power to give and in the same measure will the Lord give return. At the high mass Rey. Myles P. Galvin preached from I John iv. 21, And this commandment have we, that he who loveth God love his brothar also, the theme being that fraternal charity which finds its manifestation in thought, word and deed.
