Under what Flag do you March? is a Christian tract that bears on our society, the telling and living of truth or living lies, moral impurities instead.
Under what Flag do you March? Many people out there in the world supposedly are champions of the truth and good, but their actions make that conclusion rather hard to accept. They lie, cheat, steal, and break the laws of God left and right. But they are “good” supposedly, or so they keep telling us. Let’s turn to Scripture and see a little bit about what God says about the truth and lies.
Psalms 60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth.
God has given his children a banner of truth to fly over them so as to identify them to other Christians and for the world in general. But while a banner identifies the character of the people associating under that banner, we have to examine if the truth is in what people say and do, and not just accept others’ word for themselves that they are good and representing the truth. What they represent is the “truth” that they are deceived into believing, but it is not the truth of God. The facts of life do not line up between what they believe is the truth. If we are in the right, in truth and good, the we should be examples of that truth we espouse.
Psalms 119: 142 Your righteousness is eternal righteousness, and your law (is) truth.
In other words, the law of your life is truth. The concept of a law is a principle that is obeyed rigorously.
Those Representing Truth actually practice the Truth
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
The Bible proposes that if one is saved, then he walks in the light, that is, he has a life that reflects this communion with God. In this case, the saved “practice the truth“, otherwise, we live without demonstrating “the truth of God” (spiritual principles that please God), and then, John says that “we lie.” The lie is how we live. The principles of the devil are seen more favorably in your life than the principles of God. Which one best describes your life? Do you currently live the truth, or do you live the lie?

Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement 7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it.... Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.
"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.
