In EN-O7, England and Scotland were really united by being joined under one parliament` By acts of the separate parliaments just before the union, authority had been given to Queen Anne to create a national flag which wouldcombine the two Jacks" into one. This was done much after the form of the Jack of King James, ex- cept that the White border of St. Georgeis cross was enlarged to show more clearly that it was meantto r_e-, present the original white background of the English Jack. - . THE `PRESENT UNION JACK An act of Union with Ireland came into effect January 1st, 1801. St. Pat- rick, weail know, is the patron saint of Ireland, although he was. born at Kilpatrick in Scotland. He was cap- tured liy pirates while only a child _and sold into - slavery in _Ireland; Later he escaped to the continentiof Europe, where he became converted to Christianity and returned to Ire- land about'411 A. D.. to,carry on work- as a. missionary. The banner of St. Patrick, which is the Irish Jack" is a white flagwith a,"red cross of-the same shape as St. Andrew s cross. Vhima `rfnh...

The king fopnd that difficulties and dis- putes arose between his subjects as to the correct flag to fly on their vessels as they traded back and forward, so he issued a proclamation (1606) auth- orizing a new flag which was to be used in addition to their own. They were to fly the Union Flagge on the mainmast and the English or Scottish! Jack on the` foremost, according to their nationality. You must re- member, however, that this was `not the- authorized national flae; but `the King's flag. It was made by placing the red cross of St. George on top of St. Andrew's cross, with a narrow white marginseparating the red from the blue. (Under the Com: 'monwea1th the Union Jack was dis-' carded and the national flag contained the cross of St. George on` one shield and the Harp of Ireland on another.)

As there is always supposed to be some good` reason for adopting one of these saints as a national protectoix! we find_ the story handed down that in' 987 A. D., when the'Scots were try- ing to drive back the invading Saxons, they prayed one night, before a battle, to God-and to St. Andrew. In response the figure of,a white,c~ross appeared formed inclouds, upon the blue sky. Encouraged by this sign, the Scots fought so vigorously that they drove back the enemy.

George (the form known as the "Greek Cross,") with the . {our arms at right angles was the flag- '.of England, or t_he "English Jack". .`Long ago it was the custom to honor igreat and good men by `calling them saints and keeping some day each year - fin their memory. These saints were supposed to be able to help and pro"- tect those who honored them and plac- .ed themselves under their care. Now o'we are'eto.ld that Richard, the Lion-V - hearted, King of England, in 1190 A.D., when on the third Crusade to the Holy .Land, won a great battle against the _ infidel Saracens near the "grotto" of St. George at Beirut. in Syria; be- ; lieving. that the saint had helped him, he adopted the redcross of St. George for his banner and placed him- -self under the saint s special protection. It is- supposed, then. that this English `Jack was made the national flag of ;.7.England upon King. Richard's return ` from the Crusades in`1194. _-...-. ..-.v V. u-urtuulwhy III -0401. . Legend tells us that St. George was descended from a Christian family not Cappadocia (in Asia Minor) and . was beheaded for his faith on the 23rd I of.Apri1, A. D. 303, during the persecu- ition of the Christians by the Emperor . Diocletian. It also says that Jzhe gal- !lant'Knight St. George "redeemed the; 'king s daughter out of the fiery jaws` of a dreadful dragon" near Beriut (Beyrout), where there still remains an ancient grotto (cave) out into the rock. This story explains the pictures and designs you see illustrating the} well-known phrase, St. George and the= dragon."
