NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE — SOCIAL REALM “THE RED CROSS FLAG” Emblem of the highest union, Symbol of the highest good Hail! The promise of the ages— Wondrous flag of brotherhood. Borne by mercy through war's horrors, Raised by faith, by love unfurled: Flag that serves no single country, Splendid Red Cross of the World! Raise the flag, Oh mighty nations! For the stricken world to see; Bear it proudly through the future, As the herald and the token Of the wonders of the dawn, It shall be the inspiration Of the nations yet unborn. It shall stand for work with knowl edge, Lab’ring for the common good, For unselfish single effort, That shall raise the multitude: Stain it not with blood, Oh nations, Drench it not with bitter tears; This, the flag above all others That has bridged the hemispheres. Guard it, serve it, bear it, love it, Dare to follow in its light, Immortal rainbow of the day, Star of hope in darkest night; Uuderneath its rays all peoples Meet as brothers, neutral, free.
