TENTS READY
An advance detail has preceded the
main body by several days and will
have the tents erected and camp in
shape so that every boy can start In
at once to make the most of the out
ing.
The camp this year is going to be q
hummer with something doing all the
time and will be conducted on regular
military lines with strict military dis
cipline, which will insure the enforce
ment OF camp regulations and the
minimizing of any danger from possi-
BILE accidents.
While daily battalion and regimen
tai drill will be held and each boy re-
quired to do certain amount of SEN
try duty, ample time will be given for
swimming, boating, hiking trips and
athletic meets. All trips out of camp
will be under the direct supervisor of
the officers.
Considerable interest centers in the
baseball games and track meets, as
there is keen rivalry among many OF
the companies as to who shall capture
the baseball and track pennants.
A Jolly time will be held around the
big campfire each night.
BIBLE STUDY
While every effort is being made to
give the boys every possible enjoy
ment, the real object OF the Boys
Brigade is not forgotten. The relig-
ious work committee under Chaplain
Taylor has made preparations for daily
Bible study and religious meetings.
An open air Sunday school will be con-
Quoted Sunday morning, also a vesper
service that evening.
