rectangle-shaped ribbon made of fabric (silk?); Reverse of the seal of the United States (with text "Annuit Coeptis; Novus Ordo Seclorum; MDCLXXVI [1776]). Text reads: America; The Promise of "A New Order of Ages" to Humanity; Reverse of the Seal of the United States; Novus Ordo Seclorum--"A New Order of Ages"; "Thou hast given a hammer to them that love thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth; Proclamation: All ye to whom these presents come, think out the full meaning of this wonderful emblem of our nationa nd the kind of "new ages" it must prophesy. Since our Lord went up into heaven, no wrod of such high import has ever been uttered to men. Can it mean other than the inauguration of the reign of the Prince of Peace in his kingdom of God on earth? Since all the ages of the past are ages of war, with its desolation, nothing less than this Divine Consummation could be a new order of ages. Therefore we proclaim the Presence of the Prince in his kingdom-and, "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end...The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." American Society of the New Order of Ages. New York, December, 1915
