When Men Must Obey.

The law of obedience has never
been repealed. Since the COM
mandments demanded that chill
dren should honor their parents it
has been incumbent upon us to
obey. Yet there are many adults
who have never learned to obey.
All of us must sooner or later
obey higher authority. The laws
of health require obedience; the
laws of the state and the nation
must have recognition. When laws
are violated the penalty must be
paid. The same is true with the
unwritten laws of society, the GUS
toms of the neighborhood and the
respected rights of our friends and
neighbors.
One of the first duties a child
should learn is to "honor father
and mother" to obey is better
than sacrifice" 1t is a lesson of
self-control that must be learned.
Without this lesson one can sell
dom adapt himself to nature, and
to the laws of the laud.
Obedience is far more important
to contentment and happiness than
most people believe. 1t is essen
tial to the harmony OF progressive
living and fortunate are those that
learn this.
Life's pathway shows many fail
ures for lack of obedience. Those
who have never learned to respect
authority can never expect to adj
Just themselves to ways of the
world. Sooner or later this lesson
must be learned And the sooner
the better for the individual. 81

guage before.
Although scouting will move along,
it is like an aeroplane. You have to
work it up slowly, Coming down with
a crash and humping is very easy.
There are four interesting words that
may be used in scouting, the first of
which is, personnel. This means the
men and the boys, their health, hap
piness, harmony, all the attributes of
good men and boys, which includes
physical well being, mental alertness,
and the soul. 1t also means what the
boy uses to keep himself warm and
dry. What he wears on his back is
part of his person and he is proud to
be able to earn this. Scouts are not
like our soldiers, who get their equip
ment all at once. The scout gets his
piecemeal, beginning with the hat and
ending up with shoes. Personnel is a
renchified word meaning persons
just as materiel, the second word,
stands for all the materials, the tools,
the kit cart, the ropes, the cooking kit

TROOP VII HAS AN ORIGINAL
SCOUT

Ever since our troop was reorsan.
lied. our regular weekly meetings
have been opened promptly with the
troop song, Help Somebody To-day,
followed by prayer Interesting topics
on scouting are discussed. the scouts
themselves taking part in the talks.
Seven candidates were lately enlist
ed as members, one boy was pro-
NOTED to second class, one to. assist
ant scoutmaster. and one was trans
ferred to Troop V. He is said to be
making good.
As a rule, about three-quarters OF
the members are present at the meet
ings. Last time there were present
19 out OF 81. The troop is made up OF
boys interested in every kind OF clean
sport. We have a tenderfoot who
challenges any other tenderfoot in
fire-making and water-boiling with
matches. Then too, little All Choy
Pung challenges any other 2nd-class
scout in the city, in the Honolulu
crawl As we have no 1st-class scouts,
we cannot challenge anything along
that line, but we have a lively indoor
baseball nine willing to meet any
other nine here. and last week some
OF our members went down to the
prison and played the men there.

SCOUT FIRsT-AloERs
Helping Others Develops From Their
Fascinating Program

The father may consider his sons
work as second class scout just play
until he discovers that the boy can
dress a wound on any Of the farm
animals in such way as to avoid in
lection. or the boy himself may con-
slider his first aid work game until
suddenly he comes face to face with
an accident and the nearest doctor is
miles away. Then ne realizes that
first-aid is more than a game, and
though his hand may shake little
and his lips grow white, If he has
scout material in him he will do his
work and do it well.
To become a second class scout, a
tenderfoot must pass, to the satisfac-
ton of the recognized local sscout
authorities, the following tests:
/. At least one months service as
a tenderfoot
2. Elementary first-aid and bandag
ing; know the general directions for
first-aid for injuries; know treat
ment for faintlng shock, fractures,
bruises, sprains, injuries In which the
skin is broken, burns, and scalds;
demonstrate how to carry injured, the
use of the triangular and roller land
ages and tournlquet.
3. Elementary signaling: know
the semaphore or the international
Morse alphabet
4. Track half a mile in % minutes;
or, If in town, describe satisfactorily
the contents of one store window out
OF four observed for one minute each.
5. Go mile In IL minutes at scouts
pace-about SO steps running and so
walking, alternately.
6. Use properly knife or Ratchet.
z. Prove ability TO build fire in
the open, using not more than two
matches.
s. Cook quarter of a pound of
meat and two potatoes in the open
without the ordinary kitchen cooking
utensils.
9. Earn and deposit at least one
dollar in a public 3ank.
10. Know the 16 principal points
of the compass.
Receiving the second class badge,
the scout then goes after" the first
class badge--a zeal distinction.

GOOD TURNS sY SCOUTS
See What the Scout Idea" Does
When u Gets Into the Heads
Of Boys

Every boy scout agrees to do at
least one good turn daily. In word
where so many people spend each day
looking for profit, or pleasure, or
power, or revenge, it is a most hope
full sign when the boys go out each
morning on the watch for opportu-
mites for doing acts of kindness.
Some of these little turns" are very
simple little services, some mean real
sacrifice. Here is few which have
been reported to National Headquar-
tiers:
"A man had a horse and it was
young and il would not stand for him
so he asked me If / would please get
him his mail for him, so | did,
There was boy and he, had to
get out of team to take the bars
down, 1t was raining hard, so / took
them down for him"
There was man and his tire on
his bicycle was flat and ! asked him
il he wanted to take my pump, SO |
let him take it,
Il saw dog that was hungry and
fed him."
AS 1 was coming out of the post
office l met a lady, who had many
bundles. SO held the door back until
she had entered"
Il carried wood and water for an
old lady who lives alone"
Lifted an empty barrel up to q
wagon for a man that was paralyzed
in one hand"
Parents have sometimes remarked
that 1t is more difficult to get boys
and girls to be courteous at home than
among strangers, but here is a report
which proves that the good turn
reaches its highest development right
in the family circle:

Sunday school lesson Monday but
