Just befora the hour of taking up
school on the morning of October 29,
18ai, a vast assemblage of our worthy
and patriotic citizens gathered around
our, large new public-school building
for the purpose of witnessing the
hoisting and floating to the breeze of
our grand old Stars and Stripes from
the flagstaff above its cupola. The ex
erciees commenced by singing "Amer
ica," followed by other patriotic and
libertv-loving songs, after which the
speech on behalf of the citizens pre
Bentinir the flat: to the school district
was made by Rev. J. B. Brewlngton,
which was resoonded to by W. B.
Wilkinson, of the school board, accept
ing the fame; after which Old Glory
was hoisted to the flag-pole, followed
by three rousing cheers, where she
now waves to the breeze in defiance of
any foreign power, king or potentate,
or any of their subjects or hirelings on
our own soli.
Forever may he wave Is the prayer
of the writer.
Below Is the speech of presentation
by Mr. J. B. Brewington, taken from
the Willow Springs Index:
"It gives me great pleaire this
morning to present to you, through
your school board, theee Stars and
Stripes, the ensign of independence
bequeathed to us by our fathers. This
flag is presented to the school board
by the citizens of Willow Springs, Mo.,
that it may float over this beautiful
building, that the6e bright-eyed chil
dren may see it as they come and go
from the sacred precincts of study, and
learn the lesson of patriotism as they
learn their lessons from the grammer
or arithmetic. This flag with 44 stars
represents a united people, and speaks
to these young minds in more eloquent
language than ihe tongue of any ora
tor, of patriotism and the principles it
represents, and if this patriotism and
these principles are properly taught it
will stir the latent feelings and awaken
into quenchless ardor the sleeping en
ergles of the child's life.
Friends, did you ever think what a
halo of glory encircles this emblem of
American liberty? It could not be
other than a glorious flag, owing to
the grandeur it represents. The time
was when this national ensign was not
much esteemed, in fact some nations
held it in contempt, and it is eaid that
British newspapers in 1822 expressed
amazement and disgust bfcause the
tlme-honorel flag of England "had
been disgraced by a piece of striped
bunting flying at the head of a few
fir-built frigates, manned by a handful
of outlaws. But what does England
think of our beautiful flag backed by
enough true and loyal hearts of Amer
ican citizens to wrest the colonies from
British oppression?
If America will only run up the
American iflae over every red. white
and blue school-house in all Its borders,
and then'.teach the young and rising
generation the principles that it signi
fies, in a quarter of a century no in
ternal oraforelen foe could ever over
come this nation. Much depends upon
the patriotism of the rising generation
whether this nationals to stand- as the
beacon light for the nations of the
earth or cot, and much depends upon
the lessons of patriotism instilled in
the minds and hearts of our children.
What we need Is men in power who
love country more than party, and we
will never have them there unless
these grand principles are Inculcated
in their boyhood days. One thing I am
glad of the women are in our fchools;
and one more step will bring them into
the halls of-Congress, and I trust will
be in a majority that will put a seal of
condemnation upon 'any politician who
woulddare to sell his vote for a chew
of tobacco or drink of whisky.
Teachers, in conclusion, I would urge
upon you the importance of teaching
your pupils the lesson this grand old
flag represents, lesson of patriotism,
lesson of -loyalty to this grand old
country of ours lessons of a united
country.
Tell them what it cost our fathers to
perpetuate this nation of ours, and that
he wno would trample in the dust this
grand old flag ideserves to .be bung a
thousand tlmes higher than Haman
ever was. C May the Lord keep us true
to this emblem of American liberty,
true to our country, and true to God."

Paul Dudley lkNjuwt.
In the jear 1750, Paul Dudley cf IV-
toa made a will, In which be be
queathed a certain amount of money to
Harvard College, says the Jew Chwch
Mtmngxr, the sum to be expended in
providing for lectures to the students
on spec! fit. d subject. One of these lec
tures was to bo "for the detecting and
convicting and exposing the idulatry of
tha Roman ohurcb, their tyranny, su
perstitions, damnable heresies, fatal
errors, abominable superstitions, and
tthercrysng wlekedne-ses in their high
places; and finally, that the Church of
Rome is that mythical Babylon, that
man of sin, that apostate church,
spoken of in the New Testament" This
wa the subject assigned to thg Ucv.
Brooke Harford, who has just delivered
the Dudlelaa lecture of the current
year. His lecture is interesting read
ing. From the point of view of a lib
eral Christian,. he attempts, and we
thkk successful'y, to deal with the
subject impartially. But for all this,
his lecture is one of the severest ar
raignments of the Roman; Catholic
Church which we have read for a long
time all the more severe because it is
so calm and reasonable. We might
make many extracts which would be
Interesting to our readers, but we will
content ourselves with a single para
graph: "Thus, while there is so much that
is beautiful and admirable in Catholi
cism, In its venerable services, in Its
frequent heroism in the dark ages, In
the spirit of devotion and self sacrifice
which it wins from its votaries, jet the
whole free life of man is overweighted
and dominated by the organization to
an extent unknown in any other church
in Christendom. This is the convic
tion not of the enemies of Catholicism,
but even of those who aie most friendly
and most desire to see the Catholic
church take its true place among the
helpful institutions of the world. There
have been tew men more appreciative
of all religious institutions, more fuir
and kindly in criticizing them, than
James Freeman Clarke; and this is his
testimony: 'AH the evils of the Roman
Catholic Church have come from this
source the organization of the church
being set above the religion of the
church. It has made conformity to
Its ceremonies, submission to its au
thority, the essential thing. Hence its
persecutions, its inquisition, its resist
ing truth, its arrogant claims, its de
sire for wealth, its lust for power, its
insatiate ambition.' And Edward Ev
erett Hale, writing of the Roman hier
archy, tays: 'They have never made
the world believe othat they regard
truth first, second and last. They have
mads the world believe that they re
gard the church as first, second and
last.'
Consistency.
Minneapolis, Minn., November 29.
Editor The American: The fol
lowing appeared under the bead of
"Church Notices" in a Minneapolis
paper recently:
"St. Charles Church Father Cleary.

Pal lAVmon-'uvon inrr slalnt W7rtmV!n ' ' '
There must be 6ome mistake in this
notice. Roman Catholics do not claim
(in their catechism) to worship saints
only "honor" (?) them. They claim
that the "Bible dees not forbid "honor
ing" saints, although one of the Ten
Commandments does. It is consistent
these priests are when they are asleep.
For some reason the sermon on
"Saint Worship" did not appear in the
dally papers, hence it is impossible to
hand The American a copy of it.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1895. The
Howard Medicine Company: Gentle
men I des-lre to say to all who feel the
strength of their manhood slowly slip
ping away, whose ambition is at its
lowest ebb, whose mind is beclouded,
and the senses dulled, when you feel
dyspeptic, and lose your self-respect,
that your blood is out of order, and all
you need is some of Howard's Vegetone
Blood Powder to tone up your system
It will act almost instantly upon the
blood; you will feel the renewed life
and vigor coursing through your sys
tem; you will feel the old-time grip in
your hands; your mind will be as acti ve
as ever; your friends will observe the
flag of health Hying in your face, and
you will feel like a new being. I have
not felt so well for five years as I do
since taking one package of your Blood
Powder, and I feel as strong and active
as ever. 1 weigh lo pounds more than
ever in my lire. Tne change is so
marked that it is the subject of com
ment when meeting my friends.
recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood
Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest
blood-puriher on earth.

Bath, Me., Not. 28. To-day the
Stars and Stripes were unfurled for the
first time over the oldest public build
ing in Bath, the Erudition school-
house, which was erected In 1794 for
educational purposes, for which it has
ever since been used.
It was built by Joteph Sewall, father
of Hon. William D. Sewall. In the
building on February 22, 1800, Andrew
Greenwood delivered a funeral oration
on the character of George Washing
ton, who had died the December
previous.
The flag, which was unfurled on
new flaestaff to-day at 10 o clock, waa
presented the school by Winona Coun
cil No. 1, Junior Order of American
Mechanics, this being the only council
in Maine. The presentation remarks
were made by D. N. C. William C. Bes-
selievre, and the flag was accepted
behalf of tte school by Supervisor I. C
Phillips. Singing of patrlotlo songs
and recitations followed, and then the
flag was thrown to the breeze.
There were many people present, in
eluding pupils, members of the school
board and of the council. Smcial dis
