CIBL SCOUT ENCAMPMENT
We had a lovely drive one day.
The roads through the Berkshires
are always pleasant, and not too
frequented. The Western Hemi
sphere Girl Scout Encampment,
near Otis, Mass., is situated on a
lake, with plenty of trees to shade
the tents and cabins. When we ar
rived, the girls, representing 24
states and 16 countries, greeted us
through three of their representa
tives and then everyone passed by
and shook hands.
After this, we started an inspec
tion of the whole camp, which meant
walking for nearly an hour and a
half, a pleasant activity after the
long drive.
My cousin, Mrs. Lyman Delano,
went with me, which made the
whole day especially enjoyable. She
recently resigned as chairman of the
committee which arranges for these
international encampments, but she
is still vice chairman and has a
keen interest in scouting. My
friends, Mrs. Arthur Choate and Mrs.
Frederick Brooke, were both there
and I saw many other familiar
faces.

PLENTY OF ACTIVITY
Craft work is carried on in all the
tents and the girls do a great deal
of swimming, boating and hiking.
I thought it particularly good that
each unit cooked at least one meal
a day and ate it in their own open
air dining room, for this gives a
chance for familiarity with outdoor
cooking conditions. The girls who
live in what they call the enchanted
forest, which is a lovely grove of
hemlock trees some distance from
the main building, cook their own
breakfast and supper.
Camp Bonnie Brae has a stable
and a number of horses with a very
able teacher in attendance. I think
this is the only Girl Scout camp I
have ever visited where the girls
could learn to ride. It has proved
so popular that nearly a hundred
girls signed up for this particular
activity.
None of them have had as many
hours on horseback as would be re
quired for really adequate training,
but most of them have learned
something about the handling and
care of horses, a very good founda
tion on which to build for future
horsemanship.
We all lunched together in the
main building and I was glad to see
again Mrs. Leigh-White from Eng
land, who has visited many of the
other countries in this hemisphere
since we met last year. Mayor Put
nam of Springfield, Mass., was very
kind and drove Mrs. Delano and me
to the city, while a state trooper
drove my car. At the broadcasting
station, I was presented with a beau
tiful wooden key to the city. I took
part in the broadcast which went
out to the other groups of Girl
Scouts throughout the country, and
which I think was later repeated to
South and Central American coun
tries.
The drive home into a most beau
tiful sunset sky, was unforgettable.
I arrived a little after eight, some
what weary, but very happy to have
taken part in this celebration.

PLEASANT VISIT
When I reached Hyde Park one
evening, I found Mrs. Dorothy
Roosevelt and her youngest daugh- (
ter, Janet, had driven from Ver- '
mont to spend the night with us. !
They had visited the library and had ,
a swim, in spite of the chilly weath
er which persisted through this
wgek.
We talked all evening. Next morn
ing, in spite of the rain, I sent my
little niece over to the stables to
try to get a ride, for she is very
fond of horses. They left us at
noon to take a plane back to De
troit, Mich.
Again we had to shift a party over
to the big house, which I had
planned to have out of doors at the
cottage. The rainy weather is mak
ing this a habit with us. This party
was given by a group of Democratic
workers in honor of Mrs. Edward
Conger, who has been vice president
of our Democratic county committee
for a long while.
She has given active and devoted
service, not only doing work here
in this county, but being called upon
often to speak in nearby counties
and to help with organization. Mrs.
Conger has many loyal friends and,
since she feels she must resign be
cause of ill health, we felt we want
ed to do something to show our
appreciation of her services.
The party was a great success and
hope she enjoyed it as much
as we enjoyed having an opportuni
ty to see her and thank her for
the inspiration she has given us over
a long period.

A little after five, Miss Thompson
jiuJ I were on our way to New
*nrk city. We had dinner at our
1 apartment and then drove out
to La Guardia field to take the 10
a clock plane to Washington. The
difference between standard time
; d daylight time makes it very
pleasant when one is going south
ward. I reached the White House
little before 11 o’clock and was
able to have a real chat with the

LUKE AND ELMER ON THAT
SEA CONFERENCE
“What do you think of the eight
point program?’’ asked Luke
Twitched of his brother Elmer.
“Well, Wilson needed 14,” replied
Elmer. “So you see Roosevelt took
six strokes off'Woodrow’s game.”
And Roosevelt is playing over a
much tougher course,” said Luke,
always the golfer.
*** say so,” agreed Elmer.
They didn't have so many hidden
greens in Wilson’s time, the course
didn’t cover so much territory and
there were fewer contestants.”
“I suppose it ain’t quite right to
speak of a terrible war like this in
terms of golf,” sighed Luke.
“Why not?” snapped Elmer. “It
has all the violence, bad manners,
cheating and general brutality of
the public links game, anyhow.”
* • •
“Why meet on a battleship to
frame a program for peace and
brotherly love?” asked Luke, plain
ly puzzled.
“Dramatic suspense, color, mys
tery and all that,” explained Elmer.
“It ain’t so much what you do or
say in a crisis like this. It’s how
you put it over. That meeting had
everything but sex appeal.”
“All it needed was some John
Powers’ models,” nodded Luke.
“It got across without ’em,” in
sisted Elmer, “but I wonder they
weren’t used, at that. John Bull
and Uncle Sam are out to fire the
imagination of the world, kindle the
enthusiasms of all friends of free
dom and get their message into the
mikes and onto the front pages ev
erywhere. And this sea huddle did
it.”
♦ ♦ ♦
“Whoever thought Churchill, num
ber one man of the British empire,
would leave London, fly to sea and
hold a conference with the Presi
dent of the United States in mid
ocean? And who ever thought the
President of the United States could
drop everything at Washington to
go to sea for the same purpose?”
asked Luke.
“It would even have been cut out
of a movie script as too far
fetched,” declared Elmer. “Get the
picture! Roosevelt gets on his yacht
and disappears in one of the big
moments of history. His disappear
ance is so complete even the news
reel men can’t find him. The sus
pense is terrific. Democrats every
where begin to fear something has
happened to him.”
“And Republicans begin to fea T
something has not,” put in Luke.
• • •
“Rumors of a conference with
Churchill at sea are spread, but dis
credited as something that the hair
tonic company would delete as in
credible even if Gabriel Heatter put
it in his radio broadcast,” contin
ued Elmer. “Nevertheless it turns
out to be the real McCoy.”
“Can you imagine the fit Hitler
must have thrown when he turned
| aside from his Russian blitz in what
i he thought was one of his big mo
i ments and realized that Winston and
I Frankie had grabbed all the head
lines?” asked Luke.
“He’s still howling,” said Elmer.
♦ * *
“What do you think of the eight
points themselves?” asked Luke.
“I don’t see much new,” replied
Elmer. “They’re just Wilson’s old
model streamlined and with the fluid
drive. But there was nothing wrong
with the 14 points except that we
forgot ’em too soon.”
“Do you think the Roosevelt-
Churchill eight points could have
been improved?” asked Luke.
“I do,” declared Elmer.
“By what?” asked Luke.
“By a ninth point,” snapped El
mer. “A ninth point pledging Uncle
Sam and John Bull not to go to
sleep standing up in the middle of a
bowling alley.”

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.
Dean o{ The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for September 7

REVELATION: A MESSAGE TO
PERSECUTED CHURCHES
LESSON TEXT—Revelation 1-3.
GOLDEN TEXT—Be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of life.—
Revelation 2:10.
The Revelation is so little known
that we need part of our first lesson
for an introduction to the book. The
fact that this is a “revelation”
which God gave to Jesus Christ, “to
show unto his servants things which
must shortly come to pass” (1:1),
should make us all eager to study it.
But it is significant that there Is a
promise of special blessing to those
who do read (1:3), and a solemn
warning against tampering with the
book (22:18, 19). Quite evidently God
places great importance on the
reading and study of this book. Can
we do less?
The book is not easy to interpret,
and men have differed greatly as
to its meaning. There are four gen
eral schools of interpretation: (1)
The preterist, which puts it all in
the past. Since many of its pre
dictions have not yet taken place,
this view seems untenable. (2) The
idealist, which regards the book as
being entirely symbolical of spiritual
principles. There is truth to this
view, but it does not cover the his
torical events mentioned in the
Revelation which are yet to take
place in the world. (3) The histori
cist, which regards the book as
mainly an outline of church history.
This too fails to account for prophe
cies yet unfulfilled. (4) The futurist
(which seems to be the best view);
namely, that chapters two and
three, while relating to actual
churches then in existence, also out
line the entire history of the church,
and that the remainder of the book
relates to future events. This is the
interpretation which is largely held
by conservative Bible teachers.
A brief outline of the Revelation is
found (1:19) in tho book itself:
1. “The things which thou hast
seen” (John’s vision) —chapter 1.
2. “The things which are” (the
seven churches) —chapters 2 and 3.
3. ' “The things which shall be”
(the six sevens; namely, seals,
trumpets, personages, vials, dooms,
and new things)—chapters 4 to 22.
Our lesson portion brings before
us two of the seven churches of
Asia—Ephesus and Smyrna—with
their lessons for our day.
I. The Ephesus Church—Active
but Cold, and Facing Judgment
(2:1-7).
Following the salutation and the
glorious vision of the Son of man (do
not fail to read it, Rev. 1:9-18), John
the apostle, who was the one to whom
the vision came, is directed to write
to the church at Ephesus, address
ing it through “the angel” of the
church. We do not know who he
was, but since the word means
“messenger,” it may refer to a lead
ing officer or elder.
The picture of the church at
Ephesus was a very beautiful one.
It was an active church, not afraid
to work, patient under trial, com
mendably impatient with sin and
worldliness. It was not afraid to
exercise discipline, to discredit false
apostles, and to stand against the
evil works of the worldly-minded.
There would seem that there could
be nothing more said for a church,
but there was a vital note lacking.
In activity they were perfect, but
they had departed from their first
love.
What is meant by leaving their
first love? “First love is the aban
donment of all for a love that has
abandoned all . . . The church at
Ephesus was still a remarkable
church, but it lacked the element of
that enthusiasm, which in the eyes
of the calculating worldling, is im
prudent. There are some people
who imagine that this lack of en
thusiasm is an advantage. May God
have mercy on such. I pray the day
may never come when the heroisms
and enthusiasms of first love shall
cease” (G. Campbell Morgan).
Repentance was called for, or God
said He would extinguish the light
of that church. The lesson for us is
that cold orthodoxy will kill a church.
11. The Smyrna Church—Poor but
Faithful, and Facing Persecution
(2:8-11).
This is one of the two churches
of the seven for which there is no
word of rebuke, Philadelphia being
the other. It was a poverty-stricken
church humanly speaking, but rich
in the sight of God. Such a church
may be more useful to God and
more precious to Him than a large
church which is cold and indifferent.
What does He have to promise this
church? Persecution. We who fol
low Him upon whom men spat, who
was so buffeted and despised, yes,
even crucified —shall we be sur
prised if a hostile world persecutes
us?
Note that the Lord knew all about
their sufferings, both present and
future. He was with them and
: would continue to be with them, so
, they had no occasion to fear. Then
at the end of their suffering there
I would be the crown of life.

What Foch Told General
Who Couldn't Hold Line
There is a fine story being told
of Marshal Foch.
One day during the last war
when the position of things was
critical and further retreat would
have endangered the whole line,
one of his divisional generals sent
him a message saying that ho
could not continue to hold a cer
tain line of trenches which had
become untenable.
In reply, the marshal sent him
this message:
“If you cannot hold on, you must
advance.”
It is a great motto for life, and
the power to advance in such cir
cumstances is where the great
test comes.
Tobacco tops the gift list with
men in the service. They’ve said
so themselves in survey after sur
vey. A gift of a carton of cigarettes
or a tin of smoking tobacco is al
ways welcome, and more than wel
come the week before pay day.
Actual sales records from service
stores show the favorite cigarette
with men in the Army, the Navy,
the Marines, and the Coast Guard
is Camel. Prince Albert Smoking
Tobacco is another popular favo
rite. With these sales figures and
preferences in mind, local dealers
have been featuring Camels by
the carton and Prince Albert in
the big pound tin as gifts preferred
by men in the service from the
folks back home. —Adv.
