THE BROTHERHOOD EMBLEM
(a challenge to men who wear it to be faithful Christians)
This emblem is the blood-red cross of St. George ona white shield. Since the time of the Crusades, George has been the patron Saint of Englishmen. His cross is combined with the cross of St. Andrew (patron Saint of Scotland) and that of St. Patrick (the Apostle of the Irish) to form the Union Jack. St. George would be the first to have us see in this emblem, not so much a reminder of himself, and of any good deeds which he may have done, but rather the Cross of Him whom both we and St. George acknowledge as the Captain of our Salvation - Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The white shield speaks of that steadfast purposewith which He went forward to His death. The blood-red cross stands for that love which led him to give His life that all men might be saved. By His death, He destroyed death. By His rising to life again, He has restored to us Everlasting Life.
