Salem Camp Ground Meeting Begins Today
Tonight at Old Salem Camp Ground for the 114th
year services will be held. All the old timers will gather
once again amid much newer and more modern surround
ings.
The modern hotel with running water and baths will
be open for the first time and those attending can sleep
in screened rooms upon innerspring mattresses instead of
upon straw beds on earthen floor, in “wooden” tents.
Each year greater comforts are provided and if some
of the founders of Old Salem Camp Grounds are permit
ted to attend in spirit they will look with amazement,
and hearty-approval,- upon the changes which have beer
i made.
1 Each and who has had the privilege
I every person
and opportunity, as well as responsibility, in contributing
I to the upkeep and modernization of the Camp Grounds
will feel well repaid for their labors as they witness once
again the gathering together of those who love their Lord.
Those who.have been most active in contributing of
their time, talents and worldly possessions will be hon
ored at; the meeting this year. Flowers of gratitude to
I the living mean much more when given while the recip
i ients are able to smell them and view their loveliness.
! Many have passed who have left their indelible
I away
mark upon the Camp Grounds. While they will not be
i able to be here for the ceremony, and their names may
not even be mentioned, yet they will be here in spirit and
! will not be forgotten by those who have had the privilege
of associating with them.
Many will remember how active C. D. Ramsey, Sr-,
: was in the development of Salem. It was his custom to
* begin planning in the early spring for this meeting and it
never left his mind until his task was completed. Salem
Camp Grounds was dear to Mr. Ramsey and his sons and
i daughter are carrying on where he left off.
Many will attend the meeting from every corner of
thpRft united States* to once more mingle with school hood
friends and former neighbors. They will once more feel
the close touch of companionship in scenes’ dear to their
i hearts.
Amid it all will.be the living message of our Lord
preached three times daily by celebrated messengers of
God. This message will linger and live in the hearts of all
those vho attend and. as in tormer years, the words spoken
at th's meeting will ring down the years of eternity to
come
I i Eel’s all go and feed our souls on Christian compan
; ionship and Ihe spoken word of God which will continue
s to give U3 strength as long as we let it dwell within our
» hearts.
Character Education in Our School s
. has established u T ’A C a ° llinS record ’ f ta of i e service Sl| P erillten and dent achievement of Schools, in
promoting a type of educational program that builds life
and character in girls and boys.
■ Character education is not a new venture. On the
contrary, it is undoubtedly education's oldest objective.
Past efforts, however, in this respect have not brought
■ results" commensurate with present day needs. Dr.
lins has made renewed elforts a n d placed new emphasis,
which have attacked the problem in a broader approach,
This has called for more unified action.
Just what is character education, as promoted bv
our present educational system? It is an effort to teach
all girls and boys how to get the greatest happiness and
profit from life. In order to accomplish this Dr. Col
lins ielt the ie was a definite need for joulh to know how
to get along with one another. Dr. Collins feels that
character education is “a way of living which conserves
and produces as many values as possible, for as many
I persons as possible, over as long a time as possible.”
Character education, as promoted by our present
■| school system, includes the training of our girls – and boys
, how to , meet , varied situations. Leaders cannot teach chil

tell youth every situation they will face- Teachers can
only arm them with a technique whereby they can arrive
at correct choices. The present educational program* en

Truly, no person is a more living example of a fine
, character than Dr. M. D. Collins, State Superintendent of
u Schools. His efforts are far-reaching. He has been and

dwell upon the revelation of the
power and majesty of God in na
ture. Verses 7-il deal with that
higher revelation which God
makes of Himself in his law. In
the remainder of the psalm the au
thor considers the bearing of re

ending with a prayer that he be
kept from the domination of sin
and in ever y way rendered accept

This psalm leads us to see that
we know God to the saving of our
souls through rev'eiation. As a
great theologian has said, “By God
alone can God be known.”
To know God as the Creator is
really to know Him. If we can be

now sustains all things, we shall
have no difficulty in believing the
other teachings of the Bible. If.
on the othy hand, we cannot be

dation of our religion becomes
shifting sand.
Faith in God as the Creator and
Sustainer of the universe lies at
the basis of all spiritual trust.
The writer of this psalm begins
by saying that the heavens declare
the glory of God and the firma
ment showeth his handiwork. The
sun> moon , stars . and planets con -

God tells us the nature of the
world in which we live. He de
scribes the state of fallen men and
gives the promise of salvation. All
knowledge which men discover is
subject to change and amendment,
but the knowledge God has given
us through revelation never
changes. It is sure—not unsettled,
vacillating or uncertain; so well
established that it cannot be shak

their trust in it in absolute confi
