Book Description

Excerpt from Blue Stars and Gold: For Every Home That Flies a Service Flag The author of this book has four sons. The eldest of them - until recently the editor of a New York magazine is devoting his entire time to the work of the Y. M.C. A. The other three have enlisted and are now serving in the fighting forces of their country. He is pastor of a church whose Roll of Honor bears more than a hundred names, and its service flag more than a hundred stars. He is, therefore, unusually qualified to inspire and comfort the fathers and mothers and sisters and sweethearts and wives of men at the front. He has visited camps where soldiers and sailors are assembled, and his messages to them have been most welcome. Part of the material in this volume is taken from addresses delivered by him to soldiers, sailors and their relatives, but most of it was written especially for this volume.
