Prepare four common bunting or muslin flags, mount them on a plain flagstaff about the size of those used by the flagman at the railroad crossing. First Flag. A red flag. This signifies danger, and when displayed it means "Stop." As you wave it, ask the little folks what things that cross our path need to be stopped. Help them by naming them first. Profane words should be stopped. The commandment which says, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" is a red flag that God waved out from Mount Sinai. Flag profane words which means, "Stop, don't swear." Rev. Doctor Scudder, the celebrated missionary to India, on his return passage, while standing on the deck of the steamer with his son, heard some one using profane language. "My friend," said the doctor, "this boy, my son, was brought up in a heathen country, but in all his life he never heard a man blaspheme his Maker until now." A man reporting this event said what a shame it was that a heathen had a cleaner lip than a Christian. He was wrong. The true Christian never takes the name of his Maker in vain. He always flags that word. He throws out the red flag of danger. Stealing needs the red flag also. Boys and girls are often tempted to take that which does not belong to them. It may be a pencil from the school desk next to them. Whatever it may be it is stealing. God flung out the red flag from Mount Sinai when he said, "Thou shalt not steal." A boy was arrested in Buffalo recently for the theft of a bar of gold from a jewelry firm of New York City. The gold was worth $1,500. When asked why he had taken it, the boy said, "I was tired of working for almost nothing, and thought I could go out West and lay the foundation of a fortune with this." What a foundation that would have been, a foundation made of a broken commandment of God. There are many people thus building today. They steal from the poor, giving scant measure to the tradesman, and stealing the good name of their companions. This is a bad foundation to build on. Flag the act of stealing.
