OTHERS TO ADOPT CUSTOM 'Old Glory'vislble for Blocks From Park-Street Church, and as It Waves in Sunlight Many Hats Are Doffed. BT PEGGT CURTIS. The Stars and Stripes are waving from a Portland church, the First Con gregational, and people passing stop and thrill at the great American flag which hangs across the front entrance on Park street. Some of them enter and pray, for the gates are open. This is believed to be the first church pub licly to show the flag. All day yesterday "Old Glory" waved In the wind and now and then a burst of sunlight made it glow so that it was visible for blocks. Scores of passersby stopped and many were heard to ex claim, "It's wonderful, isn't it!" Men who stopped were hatless and children drew attention to the "flag on the church." For, though they are accus tomed to seeing flags on Government buildings, it was rather new to one on a church. However, the churches of many de nominations in the East, especially in New York and other Atlantic Coast cities, have hung out the National col ors and draped flags from their spires, as well as in the auditoriums and Sun day school rooms. Portland has few churches that have not the flag in some shape or manner In the Sunday school rooms. Many have added more and larger flags In the rooms in which their young people gather since the recent crisis. There is a constant attempt by the ministers to try to instil in the young "the love of country as well as the-love of God," and now they publicly announce this. It is probable that many more of the Portland churches will hang out their flags today. A number have had the matter under consideration and some have the flags, all ready to hoist Prayers for the country will be offered up with renewed ardor in the churches this morning, and especially at the First Congregational Church, for few will be able to pass beneath the grand old "Stars and Stripes" there without a patriotism Increased ten-fold.
