It stood for the United Kingdom and the British Empire ; It stood for justice, for freedom, for v good government, and for Christianity. These were great things, and as the children grew older, they 'would come to understand more clearly the greatness of these things he' had mentioned for which the British flag stood. Then, this flag stood for 406 millions of people to-day and it . kept safe under its shadow 11 million square miles of territory ; and in addition to . 'all that territory, it kept under its protection a much greater area .•/ of sea. The British flag, too,, stood for the security and peace of this world. There was no safety and security like the safety and security of'the men and'women who lived under the British flag. It was the flag of the greatest poets, the flag of the greatest statesmen, the greatest astronomers aud scientists, of the greatest pioneers, of the greatest Kings and Queens the .world had known. It was their flag; and he , was-sure that the young fellows he . saw there in their uniforms would be only too willing, if the occasion demanded it, to do all they could to •V defend that flag.
