OUR UNION JACK. 
 
 rROM the earliest records we read of such national 
 emblems as batmers and ensigns, and all through 
 Holy Writ we have an ever-recurring allusion to 
 them. In the early centuries when the Church and not 
 the State was supreme, we find the cross a prominent 
 figure, and recognized as the highest symbol of dignity 
 and honor. The red cross of St. George of Cappadocia 
 — the redresser of wrongs, the protector of women, the 
 model of Christian chivalry — is still the visible sign to 
 us of all that his glorious name would suggest where- 
 evcr floats the British flag. And, quartered on many a 
 diocesan coat of arms, especially the Church's own, 
 is this flag of St. George, under whose blood red sign 
 the army of the living God goes forth under bishops 
 and clergy to slay that great dragon Sin, and strong in 
 his might to conquer the world for Christ. 
 
 Church of Christ ! upon thy banner 
 
 Lo ! His passion's awful sign ; 
 
 By that seal of His redemption 
 
 Thou art His and He is thine. Alleluia. 
 
 Until the year 1606 the red cross was the flag of 
 England, and its subsequent position on the Jack indi- 
 
 i immm n w m w « 
 
-.\ 
 
 cates the predominant share the English nation bore in 
 creation of the Union, and the powerful position it now 
 holds in its Councils. It was under this flag England 
 defeated the Armada and became proud mistress of 
 the sea. 
 
 To-day her merchant navy of forty thousand ships 
 is manned by ten times that number of sailors, and she 
 possesses half the carrying power of the world. Her 
 Union Jack which now floats over more than three 
 hundred million people * comes to us as the record of 
 the growth of a great Christian nation, and traces 
 through centuries of adventure and progress the gradual 
 development by the British people of constitutional 
 government over a world-wide empire.' 
 
 Three years after the union of the two Kingdoms, 
 i. e., in 1606, a new ensign was used by order of James I 
 in which the cross of St. George was blended with this 
 white diagonal cross, on a blue ground, of St. Andrew, 
 patron saint of Scotland. As first in the Union it 
 occupies the place of honor in the upper quartering 
 nearest the staff. These two crosses combined, formed 
 what is known as the First Union Jack. 
 
 With the union of Ireland and Great Britain on 
 January i, 1801, came the fiij$J addition to our national 
 flag. This was accomplished by blending with the 
 former designs, the red diagonal cross upon a white 
 ground, popularly known as the cross of St. Patrick, 
 
and thus forming the Meteor Flag of England. In 
 its invincible red, white and blue, we learn how these 
 sister nations are united by courage to build their realm 
 on the sure foundation of purity and truth. As Cana- 
 dians, and * cftizens of no mean country in the Greater 
 Britain ' we share in the glorious achievements of the 
 Union Jack. * We come of a race that never counted 
 the number of its friends nor the number of its foes 
 when freedom, loyalty, or God was concerned. This 
 is our flag, symbolizing the highest thoughts that have 
 descended from heaven to earth. Ours too is the Queen 
 whose virtues transmute the sacred principles of loyalty 
 into a pe. sonal affection.* Ours too, be the daily prayer, 
 God bless our Church, our Queen and Empire, and 
 keep us loyal.
