"According to tradition, the saint, deeming it 00 great an honor to crucified as was his Lord, gained from his persecutors the concession to t variation, namely, a saltire instead of a Latin Cross. After his martyrdom his remains were preserved as relics, and a Greek monk, having been warned in a vsision to carry these away in a ship, was wrecked on the shores of Caledonia--Scotland-- about A.D. 370. Here he was given land on which to build a church to enshrine the relics. It was to this church, the legend says, after a great vietory, that Achajus, King of the Scots, went, baref t and vowed to accept the iis fons as the na- tional emblem, A.D, 987." It is not quite clear how the sal- tire cross of red on the Irish em- blem became associated with St. Patrick. There are legends, of course, dating back as far as 411. In all probability the cross was glerivad from the sacred monogram of Con- stantine the Creat, where the X or chi is the initial letter of the Greek for Christ. Under this emperor the Christians were rescued from per secution in Britain, and, in all pro- bability, became associated with St. Patrick owing to his labors in Ire- land, A concise far far be rig and handsomely jllus- trated story of our flag has been written by ©.

It alin describes the various ensigns, and in particular the Canadian ensign. The Canadian Union Ensign was authorized in 1892. This flag sym- bolizes and expresses Canada's poli- tical origin and present "affiliation, and declares inviolate fidelity to King and Empire, while the Can- adian arms in the fly gives recogni- tion of independent national life. | PRC PMN | - 3 Germany's New Plea.
