Synopsis

True To His Flag by Julia A. Mathews recounts the moral drama surrounding Frank Austin, a boy whose Christian convictions clash with his father's will. At the center is a wager between Mr. Austin and Colonel Seaton over Frank's courage and loyalty, with the prize hinging on a game of cards that would force Frank to betray his conscience. Frank refuses to participate, affirming that obedience to God comes before family pressure, a stand that strains his relationship with his father and shapes the holiday season. As his mother falls ill, the stakes widen: Frank must choose between staying to care for her or leaving for the distant St. Wilfrid's; his friend Will Seaton and their teacher Drayton Hall's headmaster support him, and Frank's steadfast fidelity to his Master becomes a beacon for the school. The tale traces pride, repentance, and reconciliation, ending in a changed father, renewed faith, and a lasting testament to sacrifice for righteousness.
