DESCRIPTION OF THE CARPET REPRESENTING THE CAMP.--On the carpet is
drawn an "enneagen," in which is inscribed a pentagon; within this is
an equilateral triangle, and in the triangle a circle. Between the
heptagon and pentagon, upon the sides of the latter, are placed the
standards of the five Standard Bearers, and the pavilions inscribed by
the letters T. E. N. G. U. The emblems on the standard T. are the "ark
of the covenant," an "olive tree," and a "lighted candlestick," on
each side. The ground color of this standard is purple. On the ark is
written the motto "Laus Deo." The standard E. bears a golden lion,
holding in his mouth a "golden key;" wearing around his neck a golden
collar, on which is engraved "515." The ground is azure; the motto
"Admajorem Dei glorium." On the standard N. is an "inflamed heart," in
red, with two wings, surrounded by a laurel crown. The ground is
white. The flag G. bears a double-headed eagle, crowned, holding a
sword in his right claw, and in his left a bloody heart. Ground is sea
green. The flag U. has an ox, sable (black), on a golden ground. On

pendants, each belonging to its appropriate tent. The pendants are
